Gas flow dynamics over a plunging breaking wave prior to impact on a vertical wall

We present an experimental study on the gas flow field development over a plunging breaking wave prior to impact on a vertical wall. The variability of wave impact pressure over repeated measurements is well known (Bagnold, 1939). The formation of instabilities on the wave crest are postulated to be the main source of impact pressure variability...

The effect of geometry on the surface waves generated by vertical surface-piercing cylinders with a horizontal velocity

Analytical solutions of one-way coupled magnetohydrodynamic free surface flow

We study the flow in a layer of conductive liquid under the influence of surface tension, gravity, and Lorentz forces due to imposed potential differences and transverse magnetic fields, as a function of the Hartmann number, the Bond number, the Reynolds number, the capillary number and the height-to-width ratio A. For aspect ratios A 1 and...
