This study presents a numerical investigation of the solitary wave breaking over a slope by
using the multi-phase smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method. Four different …

Difficulties associated with the commercial realization of wave energy harnessing devices
are many. Efficient operation of wave energy converters (WECs) depends on the …

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 …

To improve our understanding of the impact of sea salt aerosols (SSA) on the Earth's
climate, it is critical to understand the physical mechanisms which determine the size …

This paper describes 2-D numerical simulations of velocity and pressure fields generated by
non-breaking waves on a vertical breakwater with a recurved parapet wall. The influence of …

The effects of scale and aeration on violent breaking wave impacts with trapped and
entrained air are investigated both analytically and numerically. By dimensional analysis we …

In extreme sea states, steep or breaking waves can produce destructive wave impact loads
on surface-piercing structures, such as semi-submersible platforms primarily composed of …

This paper concerns experimental measurements of the interaction of a taut moored floating
body, representing a wave energy converter in survivability mode, with extreme waves …

Laboratory models are important for research, to inform design solutions and to calibrate
and validate numerical models. Unfortunately, model-prototype similarity is often difficult to …

Wave-breaking action in bodies of freshwater produces atmospheric aerosols via a similar
mechanism to sea spray aerosol (SSA) from seawater. The term lake spray aerosol (LSA) is …
