Velocity measurements in breaking wave crests
Abstract
Measurements have been achieved of the velocity field in the crest of a breaking wave. The vertical and horizontal components are measured at distances of less than 5 mm from the boundary of the wave. The complete field is available due to an entirely computer controlled experimental set-up.
