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.Keywords
