description abstract | Shoaling and breaking of solitary waves is computed on slopes from 1:100 to 1:8 using an experimentally validated fully nonlinear wave model based on potential flow equations. Characteristics of waves are computed at and beyond the breaking point, and geometric self-similarities of breakers are discussed as a function of wave height and bottom slope. No wave breaks for slopes steeper than 12°. A breaking criterion is derived for milder slopes, based on values of a nondimensional slope parameter | |
