Nonlinear Wave Group Evolution to Breaking - Innovative Measurements And Analysis
Abstract
Specifically, this proposal is focused on understanding and predicting the onset and strength of dominant breaking events in terms of the evolution of nonlinear wave groups or packets, with no restriction on the group geometry. These could range from near-unidirectional groups that persist for significant durations, to rapidly evolving chirped structures from intersecting directional wave packets. In this context, the major research focus is on the characterization and prediction of group mediated wave breaking onset and energy losses/loss rates for the dominant sea waves, especially during strong wind forcing conditions greater than 20 knots.
