... Abstract Plunging breaking waves may cause large impact loads on ships. Neither the risk of such impacts nor the magnitude of the resulting loads is much studied or well understood. Breaking waves in open sea typically occur in steep non-stationary growing sea-states. Recent advances...

...-breaking suppression model on the simulated results are discussed. In our study, the incorporation of the pragmatic wave-breaking suppression model successfully extends the capabilities of the original FN IB-AHPC solver. adaptive harmonic polynomial cell method potential-flow breaking waves...

... Abstract Plunging breakers, unlike non-breaking waves, impose additional slamming load on the offshore structures. This additional slamming load is considered an extreme event and is one of the most devastating forces that an offshore structure could encounter during its operational lifecycle...

... waves, random irregular waves, and solitary breaking waves, and the error in both elevation prediction and force prediction when compared to measured values is calculated. The force prediction equations were shown to perform best for small wave heights, with errors as low as 5% in the force predictions...

... 10 01 2011 Ocean Wave Energy Converters (OWECs) operating on the water surface are subject to storms and other extreme events. In particular, high and steep waves, especially breaking waves, are likely the most dangerous to OWECs. A method for quantifying the breaking severity of waves...

...-dimensional pending on problem characteristics. The 2D scour in front of In the present study the effects of regular breaking waves on toe scour of vertical-wall breakwaters are investigated experimentally. The experimental set-up is discussed first, and then the results are presented. NOMENCLATURE d50 : mean...
