On the local properties of highly nonlinear unsteady gravity water waves. Part 1. Slowdown, kinematics and energetics
X. Barthelemy, M. L. Banner, W. L. Peirson +2
The kinematic properties of unsteady highly non-linear 3D wave groups have been investigated using a numerical wave tank. Although carrier wave speeds based on zero-crossing analys…

On a unified breaking onset threshold for gravity waves in deep and intermediate depth water
X. Barthelemy, M. L. Banner, W. L. Peirson +3
We revisit the classical but as yet unresolved problem of predicting the breaking onset of 2D and 3D irrotational gravity water waves. This study focuses on domains with flat botto…
