12 hours ago · Nazaré churns out some jumbo waves, but it's not the site of the biggest wave ever recorded. That title belongs to Lituya Bay in Alaska, which produced a frightening 1,719-foot-tall (524 m) wall ...
3 days ago · The results of the study show that three-dimensionally spread waves can become twice as steep as two-dimensional waves before they break. “We show that in these directional conditions, waves can far exceed the commonly assumed upper limit before they break”, says Sam Draycott, Senior Lecturer in Ocean Engineering, University of Manchester.
6 days ago · In physics, mathematics, engineering, and related fields, a wave is a propagating dynamic disturbance (change from equilibrium) of one or more quantities. Periodic waves oscillate repeatedly about an equilibrium (resting) value at some frequency.
3 days ago · A new experimental study led by Dr McAllister of Oxford’s Department of Engineering and and Prof. Ton van den Bremer of the universities of Oxford and Delft studied how the three-dimensonality or ‘directional-spreading’ of ocean waves affects when they break. The new study featured an international team of researchers based at the ...

4 days ago · 3D waves. An international team of researchers used the University of Edinburgh’s FloWave tank to recreate so-called three-dimensional waves, which have complex, multidirectional movements. Three-dimensional waves occur when waves spread in different directions. At its most extreme, this results in a phenomenon known as crossing, where ...
