The Velocity Field Underneath a Breaking Rogue Wave: Laboratory Experiments Versus Numerical Simulations

Wave breaking is the most characteristic feature of the ocean surface. Physical investigations (in the field and at laboratory scale) and numerical simulations have studied the driving mechanisms that lead to wave breaking and its effects on hydrodynamic loads on marine structures. Despite computati...
