Abstract:
An experimental investigation of the evolution of the profiles of a set of spilling and a set of plunging breaking waves is present. Each set of waves consists of similar waves scaled to three characteristic wave periods. Measurements of various wave heights, periods, and wave heights, periods and phase speeds are presented.
