Breaking Waves. IUTAM Symposium Held in Sydney, Australia on July 15-19, 1991
Abstract
The Symposium focused on water waves of all scales from capillary waves to ocean swell, but also considered internal waves and the filamentation of vorticity interfaces. Specific topics included were: (1) Fundamental theoretical studies; wave instabilities; routes to breaking; (2) Models of wave breaking; (3) Field observations, including statistical information; (4) Laboratory studies; (5) Shoaling waves, breaking waves on currents, breaking induced by the motion of a ship; (6) Consequences of waves breaking for oceanic studies, microwave remote sensing, role of breaking in air-sea fluxes, wind-wave prediction models; acoustics of wave breaking; bubble formation; and (7) Wave breaking in industrial applications, wave forces on structures
