Wave Breaking: A Numerical Study

In this monograph, a finite difference algorithm for study-
ing two dimensional wave breaking in the vertical plane is developed. The essential feature of this algorithm is the combination of the Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) technique for arbi-
trary free surfaces and the k-E turbulence model. This me-
thodology allows a self-contained study for wave transforma-
tion processes in shallow water before, during and after breaking. This capability is illustrated in several calcula-
tions.
