Modelling of breaking waves
Initial water depth h0* = 2.2,m
Channel length L = 220,m
Spacial discretization δx = 0.05,m
Initial nonlinearity δ = 0.137
Initial solitary wave position 30,m
The test presents the solitary wave propagation,
the breaking criteria is activated when virtual enstrophy reaches
thin blue lines shows the region of the turbulent viscous terms applications
