Abstract: Measurements have been made of the velocity field and wave parameters for large waves on a moderately sheared current in a wave flume. Comparisons are made between the velocity fields measured with particle image velocimetry ...

Abstract: An experimental study of runup on slender columns in steep, deep water waves is described. The depth, steepness, and scattering regimes were chosen to be representative of semisubmersibles in storm waves. Runup predictions ...

Abstract: Measurements of both the velocities and Eulerian accelerations have been made in the crests of waves at their breaking point. Measurement close to the wave surface (5 mm) has been made possible by the use of a very rapid ...

Abstract: The present study investigates two cases of three‐dimensional wave breaking. In the first case, the wave field contains a single frequency with a uniform angular spreading within a given range
