Identification of wave breaking from nearshore wave-by-wave records

Karoline Holand, Henrik Kalisch, Maria Bjørnestad +7

Using data from a recent field campaign, we evaluate several breaking criteria with the goal of assessing the accuracy of these criteria in wave breaking detection. Two new criteri…

The superharmonic instability and wave breaking in Whitham equations

John D. Carter, Marc Francius, Christian Kharif +2

The Whitham equation is a model for the evolution of surface waves on shallow water that combines the unidirectional linear dispersion relation of the Euler equations with a weakly…

The Cubic Vortical Whitham Equation

John D. Carter, Henrik Kalisch, Christian Kharif +1

The cubic-vortical Whitham equation is a model for wave motion on a vertically sheared current of constant vorticity in a shallow inviscid fluid. It generalizes the classical Whith…

A Nonlinear Formulation of Radiation Stress and Applications to Cnoidal Shoaling

Martin O. Paulsen, Henrik Kalisch

In this article we provide formulations of energy flux and radiation stress consistent with the scaling regime of the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. These quantities can be used…

Fully dispersive Boussinesq models with uneven bathymetry

John D. Carter, Evgueni Dinvay, Henrik Kalisch

Three weakly nonlinear but fully dispersive Whitham-Boussinesq systems for uneven bathymetry are studied. The derivation and discretization of one system is presented. The numerica…
