Experimental study of eddy viscosity for breaking waves on sloping bottom and comparisons with empirical and numerical predictions

Focus is on the turbulence for a plunging breaker. Laser Doppler anemometer point measurements were used to determine the velocity matrix of a breaking wave on a sloping bottom. Using the Reynolds stress anisotropy for incompressible fluid, it was found that the ensemble averaged measured velocity p...
