Abstract:A series of experiments with normal and oblique wave are carried out in a laboratory wave basin to observe the wave breaking on lens topography, which has a focusing effect on the wave. The formulas of wave breaking on slope topography are first summarized in this paper. To investigate the difference between wave breaking parameters of these two topographies, the formulas are categorized into four types and compared with experimental data on lens topography. Two different water levels were adopted in this experiment to distinguish the positions of wave breaking. For both water levels, the experimental results indicate that the breaking wave height on lens topography is larger than the estimations by formulas on slope topography. But the wave incident angel α has little influence on breaking wave parameters. © Copyright 2016 by the International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers (ISOPE).
