Abstract
ABSTRACTThis paper deals with the breaking conditions of two-component composite waves and random waves on a sloping bed. The effect of an induced long-wave component on the breaking of individual waves was investigated on the basis of experimental data. In general, random waves break with smaller wave heights than monochromatic waves as most waves break on an opposing flow due to the long-wave component. The breaking criteria for monochromatic waves are extended to random waves using a breaker index which is comprised of wave height, wave period, water depth and flow velocity due to the long-wave component.
