Abstract In the case when two-dimensional regular water waves propagate on a sloping bed and form plunging breakers, how water spray is transported by wind has been investigated. The concentration of spray in ...the air decreases exponentially both in the vertical direction and in the leeward one. The decrease can be explained theoretically from the balance between the convection of spray and its precipitation. The exponentially decaying profiles are observed at w0x/Uml0<3.0, where w0 is the settling velocity of spray, Um the mean wind velocity, x the fetch and l0 the height at which the concentration has fallen to e-1.show more
