PHYSICS > Technion and Breaking Waves

The study was conducted by Technion (Haifa) Professor Dan Liberzon, Ph.D. student (in the Inter-Faculty Program for Marine Engineering) Sagi Knoblerand, Ph.D. student Ewelina Winiarska, in collaboration with Professor Alexander Babaninof the University of Melbourne, Australia. One of the currently accepted paradigms of waves study is that a wave breaks when it reaches a threshold steepness – a steepness at which the wave can no longer maintain its form and collapses. But the findings by the Technion and the University of Melbourne researchers show that this approach is wrong, and that there is no absolute threshold steepness beyond which any wave is doomed to break.
