An Analytical Approach for the Two-Dimensional Plunging Breaking Wave Impact on a Vertical Wall with Air Entrapment

This study investigates an idealized formulation of the two-dimensional impact of a breaking wave on a vertical impermeable wall. An overturning-like wave is assumed, which is close to the concept of a plunging breaker. It is assumed that during the collision an air pocket is entrapped between the w...
