Figure 8.
The graph presents a curve showing the relationship between the breaker depth index, represented as y sub b equals H sub b divided by h sub b, and the scaled breaker depth depicted as h sub b divided by g T squared. The x-axis ranges from 0 to 0.2, while the y-axis covers from 0 to approximately 1.6. Curves are plotted for various values of m, ranging from 0 to 0.2, with different colours assigned to each value. Notably, there are marked points for maximum values of the breaker depth scaled by g and T squared, as well as distinct tangency points indicated by open circles. Additionally, specific markers labelled M 0 through M 8 highlight certain values or significant points of interest along the curves.Breaker depth index, , as a function of and bottom slope inclination, m, computed from the results presented in Figure 5 (used to find out the breaking height, )
