Wave Crest Kinematics of Deep Water Breaking Waves
Publication: Coastal Engineering 2000
Abstract
Measurements of the kinematics of three cases of breaking waves have been conducted using the Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) method. A set of four parameters are used do describe the kinematics, and the development of the waves as they approach breaking is studied using these parameters. The parameters reveal significant features in the temporal development of the internal kinematics of steep, asymmetric transient waves.
