Abstract: The one‐dimensional inundation over an impermeable horizontal bed by incident solitary waves is studied both experimentally and numerically. The numerical model is based on a set of Boussinesq long‐wave equations cast in ...

Abstract: The effect of sheltering and boundary proximity is examined for a sphere exposed to long nonlinear waves. Velocity field and force measurements are obtained for several configurations of spheres near a boundary. As a single ...

Abstract: A nonlinear, dispersive, dissipative model is developed to describe the fluid motion in a rectangular tank which is moved by an oscillatory and transient translational motion. A linear model for this motion is also presented. ...

Abstract: This paper describes measurements of the air entrained in experiments simulating the breaking bow wave of a ship for Froude numbers between two and three. The experiments and the characteristics ...
