Breaking Waves [E-Book] : IUTAM Symposium Sydney, Australia 1991 / edited by Michael L. Banner, Roger H. J. Grimshaw.
Wave breaking is a commonly occurring phenomena associated with wave motion in fluids, often inducing significant effects which are of fundamental and technological importance, A familiar illustration is provided with white-capping and microbreaking of the wind-driven ocean sUrface waves, which is b...
