TERME PRÉFÉRENTIEL

WAVE BREAKING  

DÉFINITION

  • A wave whose amplitude reaches a critical level at which some process can suddenly start to occur that causes large amounts of wave energy to be transformed into turbulent kinetic energy. At this point, simple physical models that describe wave dynamics often become invalid, particularly those that assume linear behavior.
