MEASUREMENTS OF WAVE BREAKING IN THE UK COASTAL RESEARCH FACILITY

[摘要] Many experiments have been carried out on wave breaking in the past, but these have mainly been for regular, normally-incident waves. This paper describes experiments in the UK Coastal Research Facility in which over a hundred separate tests were carried out, covering regular, random, normally-incident, angled and multidirectional waves. Measurements were made of wave parameters as the waves underwent breaking in shallow water on a 1:20 slope. Analysis of the data to determine the wave breaking criterion, y, for three random wave categories is presented.
