Dataset for "Air Entrainment and Gas Transfer Processes in Wave Breaking Events"

This repository contains the dataset and accompanying tools used in the study "Air Entrainment and Gas Transfer Processes in Wave Breaking Events", available on arXiv (DOI: 10.48550/arXiv.2412.20576).

The study investigates gas transfer processes at the air-water interface during wave breaking events using high-fidelity numerical simulations. It focuses on regular wave patterns, mild spilling, and intense plunging breaking waves, emphasizing air entrainment and energy dissipation.
