Abstract

This paper is devoted to the numerical simulation of wavebreaking. It presents the results of a numerical workshop that washeld during the conference LOMA04. The objective is to compareseveral mathematical models (compressible or incompressible) andassociated numerical methods to compute the flow field during awave breaking over a reef. The methods will also be compared withexperiments.
