L04. Flume measurements by Baldock (1998)
Baldock et al.(1998) carried out an experiment
in which they measured the fraction of breaking waves
in order to develop a surf breaking formulation.
Vink (2001) made a Swan simulation of this experiment which
was modified in this test bank.
This graph from Vink (2001) shows that Baldock's Qb performs better than
the one by Battjes and Janssen (1978)
The computations are compared with measurements in plot plfL04.
2 runs are made:
- L04a
- default physics, coarse run
- L04b
- default physics, nested run from 40 m
- L04c
- BalDock breaking formulation
- L04d
- as L04c, nested run from 40 m
- L04e
- JONSWAP friction formulation
- L04f
- as L04e, nested run from 40 m
- L04g
- Baldock breaking formulation, triads on
- L04h
- as L04g, nested run from 40 m
