Computes a slope-dependant breaking coefficient for the depth-induced breaking source term
Description
Computes a slope-dependant breaking coefficient (BRCOEF) for the depth-induced breaking source term. A new flag (BRFLAG) is added to SDB1 namelist to choose between a constant breaking coefficient (BRFLAG=F, default value) prescribed with BJALFA parameter (same as before) or the adapting breaking coeff. (BRFLAG=T). In such case, the slope coefficient can be slightly adapted by the user through BJALFA parameter (default value 40).
Several studies demonstrate the robustness of this parameterization already implemented in the spectral wave model WWM (e.g. see Pezerat et al, 2021, OM), which allows to prevent an over dissipation by depth-induced breaking, especially in dissipative surf zone.
