Abstract

Laboratory observations of short gravity waves of length about. 1 m by Koga show the occurrence of a downward flow separation near the wave crests, making angles of 10° to 50° with the horizontal. Kega's observations are compared with a theoretical model of flow separation suggested by Longuet-Higgins. Some features of agreement are found.
