The analysis of the water wave breaking phenomenon has been on-going for almost 150
years, and many research papers have been published approximating both the local …

The experimental results of a 1: 30 scaled wave tank experiment of a point-absorber in
extreme sea states and intermediate water depth are studied. The effect of the PTO damping …

This study presents an empirical parameterization of wave front slope angle used in the
characterization of shoaling and breaking waves in nearshore environment. A large amount …

Autonomous detection of desired events from large databases using time series
classification is becoming increasingly important in civil engineering as a result of continued …

This study applies artificial neural network-based methodology to predict the breaker height
(H b). 1120 data samples from 53 experiments covering a wide range of seabed slopes are …

In harsh sea conditions, it is possible for offshore wind turbines (OWTs) to be exposed to
slamming loads due to breaking waves, especially plunging breaking waves. These …

The performances of phase-averaged parametric nearshore wave transformation models
depend significantly on a reliable estimate of the wave breaker index γ (the breaker height …

This work evaluates the survivability of a point-absorbing wave energy converter at sea
states along and inside the 50-year environmental contour for a selected-site in North Sea …

ABSTRACT Yao, Y.; Huang, ZH; Monismith, SG, and Lo, EYM, 2013. Characteristics of
monochromatic waves breaking over fringing reefs. A fringing reef is a reef that is directly …

Instantaneous liquefaction can be induced by the upward seepage force generated in a
sandy seabed under wave troughs. The wave-induced pore-pressure distribution in the non …
