An energetic signature for breaking inception in surface gravity waves
Daniel G. Boettger, Shane R. Keating, Michael L. Banner +2
A dynamical understanding of the physical process of surface gravity wave breaking remains an unresolved problem in fluid dynamics. Conceptually, breaking can be described by incep…
Crest speeds of unsteady surface water waves
Francesco Fedele, Michael L. Banner, Xavier Barthelemy
Intuitively, crest speeds of water waves are assumed to match their phase velocities. However, this is generally not the case for natural waves within unsteady wave groups. This mo…
Wave breaking onset of two-dimensional deep-water wave groups in the presence and absence of wind
Arvin Saket, William L. Peirson, Michael L. Banner +2
The criterion for the initiation of breaking demonstrated numerically by Barthelemy et al. (2015) has been investigated in the laboratory for unidirectional wave groups in deep-wat…
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…
