Simultaneous measurements of the water surface elevation and Eulerian water particle velocities inside the breaker zone were performed at various locations in a wave flume for spilling and plunging breaker conditions. Based on a concept that all motion of the water surface is wave motion, separation of wave-induced and turbulent velocity components from time series data of the velocities was made by numerical filter. Statistical analyses disclosed that surface-generated turbulence due to breaking waves contributes greatly to the nonstationary and intermittent structure of turbulence. Considerable differences in the turbulence structure were found between spilling and plunging breakers in terms of turbulence intensity distribution and spectral forms for the water surface elevation and velocities inside the breaker zone. Spatial distributions of the Reynolds stress indicate the generation of vortex-like motions in the breaker zone. The existance of such motions was confirmed by means of flow visuali...
