Hamiltonian Formulation of Water Waves: 1D-formulation, numerical evaluations and examples

This report describes the formulation, numerical implementation and application of a weakly nonlinear wave model for finite depth based on a Hamiltonian formulation (see Radder, 1992). Due to the type of non-linearity explicitly accounted for in the expansion of the kernel of the Hamiltonian density (sum of kinetic and potential energy per unit...

Laboratory wave generation: A second-order theory for regular and irregular waves in wave channels

The correct generation of a second order wave field in a laboratory wave tank is of importance in several experimental investigations, particularly those of nonlinear evolutions and sediment transport. In the present work, which was carried out under the MLTP (medium long-term planning) of DELFT HYDRAULICS for improving experimental techniques,...
