Abstract

The technique of dual-plane particle image velocimetry was used to measure allthree velocity components of water after wave breaking using a single camera. Thein-plane and out-of-plane root-mean-square (rms) velocities were calculated andcompared. It was found that the rms velocities for each component decayedafter breaking, but that the out-of-plane velocity decayed most slowly.Thus the relative importance of the out-of-plane to in-plane velocitiesincreased after wave breaking, implying a transition from 2D to 3D motion.
