A higher order theory for deep water waves

The classical problem of describing the characteristics of deep water waves of finite amplitude is considered. The method of analysis initially follows that of Nekrasov, but differs in that a non-linear algebraic equation is derived. This equation is solved to the third, fifth and fifteenth order by means of a digital computer and the data is...

Generation of waves by wind: State of the art

This report was prepared originally as a series of lectures given at the International Summer Course on "Some Aspects of Shallow Water Oceanology" held at Lunteren, the Netherlands, The subject of this phase of the lectures, "Generation of Waves by Wind, " included both deep and shallow water conditions. The decay of swell in both deep and...

Waves of long and short period

Research on waves, with focus on translation waves due to gate operations.

Contribution to the Theory of Internal Waves

The behaviour of internal waves in vertically inhomogeneous fluids has been studied theoretically by various authors, from the point of view of general hydrodynamics as well as of meteorology and of physical oceanography (see the list of references, which, however, is not meant to be complete). For mathematical reasons most of them assumed...
