In this monograph, a finite difference algorithm for study-
ing two dimensional wave breaking in the vertical plane is
developed. The essential feature of this algorithm is the
combination of the Volume-of-Fluid (VOF) technique for arbi-
trary free surfaces and the k-E turbulence model. This me-
thodology allows a self-contained study for wave transforma-
tion processes in shallow water before, during and after
breaking. This capability is illustrated in several calcula-
tions.
This book will be of interest for final year graduates,
postgraduates and researchers working in the fields of tur-
bulence modelling, wave hydrodynamics, coastal engineering,
and oceanography of coastal regions.
