Turbulence and vorticity generated by breaking waves

Experiments have been performed on the flow generated after the breaking of laboratory-generated water waves. Digital Particle Image Velocimetry (DPIV) was employed to make flow-field measurements in the post-breaking region of both spilling and plunging breakers, for a range of times close to break...
