Quantifying Breaking-Wave Dissipation Using Nonlinear Phase-Resolved Wavefield Simulations

Abstract

To understand and quantify wave-breaking dissipation using direct phase-resolved simulation of nonlinear wavefield evolution; and to develop effective modeling/parameterization of wave-breaking dissipation and wind forcing for phase-averaged wave prediction models.
