This paper reviews recent advances that have been made in the numerical modelling and
measurement techniques of the surf zone. The review is restricted by the assumption of a …

Digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV) measurements of the velocity field under breaking
waves in the laboratory are presented. The region of turbulent fluid directly generated by …

A coupled level set and volume-of-fluid (CLSVOF) method is implemented for the numerical
simulations of interfacial flows in ship hydrodynamics. The interface is reconstructed via a …

The measurement of velocity fields of a plunging wave impacting on a structure in a two-
dimensional wave tank was investigated experimentally. As the wave impinged and …

Difficulties associated with the commercial realization of wave energy harnessing devices
are many. Efficient operation of wave energy converters (WECs) depends on the …

Computational fluid dynamics for ship hydrodynamics has made monumental progress over
the last ten years, which is reaching the milestone of providing first-generation simulation …

Particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements were performed in a wave tank under water
waves propagating and breaking on a 1/15 sloping beach. The wave transformation …

Computational fluid dynamics is increasingly used to investigate the inherently complicated
phenomenon of wave breaking. To date, however, no single model has proved capable of …

Large water waves in reservoirs, lakes, bays and oceans may be generated by landslides,
shore instabilities, snow avalanches, glacier and rock falls. For Alpine lakes impulse waves …

This paper presents experiments on run-up of strongly nonlinear waves on a beach of
10.54° inclination. Velocity fields are obtained by the PIV (particle image velocimetry) …
