Liu, Yuxuan (author), Eeltink, Debbie (author), van den Bremer, T.S. (author), Adcock, Thomas A.A. (author)Wave breaking is a complex physical process about which open questions remain. For some applications, it is critical to include breaking effects in phase-resolved envelope-based wave models such as the non-linear Schrödinger. A promising approach is to use machine learning to capture breaking effects. In the present paper we develop the...journal article 2024
