Turbulence Effect on Wave Deformation After Breaking

Abstract
Waves will dissipate their energy rapidly after breaking. In this paper, the behaviors of breaking waves are discussed experimentally and theoretically. The experiments are carried out by using a composite slope consisting of an approach ramp with a 1/18 slope leading up to a horizontal surface. A new basic equation for a breaking wave is presented and the theoretical curves computed numerically have a consistent agreement with the experimental data.
