Abstract
A new methodology for a unified treatment of wave transformation before, during and after breaking was developed. This methodology was elaborated as follows. First, the essential aspects of the hydrodynamics of incompressible flows were reviewed, with special reference to turbulence dynamics and free-surfaces. Then, the physical aspects of wave transformation processes were analyzed, the limitations of the available techniques were discussed, and the structure of the present model was outlined. Finally, the numerical model was constructed and applied to several wave transformation problems, demonstrating its predictive capabilities for a unified description of the flow before, during and after breaking.
