A wave breaking model is proposed on the basis of turbulent energy equation and the relationship of energy dissipation due to wave breaking in the surf zone. The model is established by introducing turbulent dissipation terms into the Boussinesq equations and involves the breaking process of individual wave. The model is verified by experiment data in terms of wave height and mean surface elevation.
The variation of the complex wave amplitude is numerically simulated first by use of the parabolic mild-slope equation including the effect of the wave energy dissipation due to wave breaking. The components of wave radiation stress are calculated subsequently by new expressions for them according to the obtained complex wave amplitude, and then the depth-averaged equation is applied to the calculation of wave set-up due to wave breaking.

A numerical model based on the mild-slope equation of water wave propagation over complicated bathymetry, taking into account the combined effects of refraction, diffraction and dissipation due to wave breaking is presented.
Some modification is proposed to the source term, which represents the spectral rate of wave energy dissipation due to wave breaking so that the source term can incorporate this mechanism.
A wave breaking model is proposed on the basis of turbulent energy equation and the relationship of energy dissipation due to wave breaking in the surf zone. The model is established by introducing turbulent dissipation terms into the Boussinesq equations and involves the breaking process of individual wave. The model is verified by experiment data in terms of wave height and mean surface elevation. Good agreements are obtained.
The present paper proposes a finite element numerical model for coastal ocean waves with effects of refraction diffraction dissipation due to wave breaking. The adopted numerical method is a modified hybrid element method, in which the open boundary condition is improved in the exterior domain while Galerkin finite element is used in the interior domain. The proposed model is verified by comparison with existing theorectical results. An application to a model harb...
