Deep-water plunging breakers: a comparison between potential theory and experiments

Etude de la validite de la theorie de l'ecoulement potentiel pour decrire des ondes de gravite produites dans un bassin d'experimentation. On fait des calculs de tres forte resolution utilisant un schema mixte eulerien-lagrangien avec les hypotheses de l'ecoulement potentiel
