On the maximal horizontal surface velocity for a rotational water wave near breaking

Breaking Wave Velocity Estimation

Surface topography and rotational symmetry breaking.

The surface electroclinic effect, which is a rotation of the molecular director in the substrate plane proportional to an electric field E applied normal to the substrate, requires both a chiral environment and C(2) (or lower) rotational symmetry about E. The two symmetries typically are created in tandem by manipulating the surface topography, a process that conflates their effects. Here we us...

Rotational steady water waves near stagnation.

We investigate the location of the point of maximal horizontal velocity for steady periodic water waves with vorticity.

Effects of surface wave breaking on the oceanic boundary layer

[1] Existing laboratory studies suggest that surface wave breaking may exert a significant impact on the formation and evolution of oceanic surface boundary layer, which plays an important role in the ocean‐atmosphere coupled system. However, present climate models either neglect the effects of wave breaking or treat them implicitly through some crude parameterization. Here we use a one‐dimensi...

Near-Surface Attenuation Modelling Based on Rock Shear-Wave Velocity Profile

In a previous study published in this journal, the authors developed a comprehensive methodology for modelling the shear wave velocity profile in crustal rock, for purposes of seismic hazard assessment. The derived shear wave velocity profile was used to estimate the amplification and attenuation mechanisms in the transmission of seismic waves. The ability to conduct seismic hazard assessments ...
