Three-dimensional Large Eddy Simulation of air entrainment under plunging breaking waves

The scope of this work is to present and discuss the results obtained from simulating three-dimensional plunging breaking waves by solving the Navier-Stokes equations, in air and water, coupled with a dynamic subgrid scale turbulence model (Large Preprint submitted to Coastal Engineering 23 January 2006 ha l-0 02 94 09 2, v er si on 1 8 Ju l 2 00 8 Author manuscript, published in "Coastal Engin...

Experimental study of the particle paths in solitary water waves.

We provide experiments that had been conducted to investigate the particle trajectory beneath a solitary water wave. Experimental results show that the surface drift is larger than the bottom drift. Meanwhile, the ratio of the net horizontal displacement to the total height of the trajectory at the free surface and subsurface will decrease with the initial vertical position and increase with th...

Modulated periodic stokes waves in deep water

Modulated deep-water 1D Stokes waves are considered experimentally and theoretically. Wave trains are modulated in a controlled fashion and their evolution is recorded. Data from repeated laboratory experiments are reproducible near the wave maker, but diverge away from the wave maker. Numerical integration of a perturbed nonlinear Schrodinger equation and an associated linear spectral problem ...

Models for Internal Waves in Deep Water

We study properties of solitary wave solutions of three evolution equations arising in the modeling of internal waves Our experiments indicate that broad classes of initial data resolve into solitary waves but also suggest that solitary waves do not interact exactly thus suggesting two of these equa tions are not integrable In the course of our numerical simulations interesting meta stable quas...
