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…
Linking reduced breaking crest speeds to unsteady nonlinear water wave group behavior
Michael Banner, Xavier Barthelemy, Francesco Fedele +4
Observations show that maximally-steep breaking water wave crest speeds are much slower than expected. We report a wave-crest slowdown mechanism generic to unsteady propagating dee…
