On the limiting geometry of unsteady breaking waves subject to co-flowing wind: spectrally-informed versus locally-measured steepness
Rui Cao, Enrique M. Padilla, Xu Chen +1
Wave steepness is a key geometric variable for describing breaking occurrence and its consequences, including energy dissipation and air entrainment. Using three laboratory campaig…

Physics-informed neural networks for phase-resolved data assimilation and prediction of nonlinear ocean waves
Svenja Ehlers, Norbert Hoffmann, Tianning Tang +5
The assimilation and prediction of phase-resolved surface gravity waves are critical challenges in ocean science and engineering. Potential flow theory (PFT) has been widely employ…
