• Extra Strain Rates in an unsteady spilling breaking wave 

      Lucarelli, Alessia; Lugni, Claudio; Falchi, Massimo; Felli, Mario; Brocchini, Maurizio (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      We analyze the extra strain rates that characterize a curved, thin mixing layer induced at an unsteady spilling breaker. We focus on the flow curvature, which induces some extra rates of strain that should be accounted for ...
    • On a layer model for spilling breakers: a preliminary experimental analysis 

      Lucarelli, Alessia; Lugni, Claudio; Falchi, Massimo; Felli, Mario; Brocchini, Maurizio (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Accurate and reliable experimental data of a sloshing-induced, rapidly-evolving spilling breaker, are used to understand the specific physics of this phenomenon and to partially evaluate a simplified analytical model by ...
