Period: the time it takes for two successive crests to pass a given point. Frequency: the number of waves passing a point in a given amount of time, usually expressed as waves per second. This is the inverse of the period. Speed: how fast the wave travels, or the distance traveled per unit of time.
Figure 1.1: Amplitude spectrum of ocean surface waves and wave classification. From Kinsman [1965]. In part A of these notes the focus is on surface waves: variation of sea surface; periods T=O(seconds, minutes); wavelengths =O(mm, km). These waves are not significantly affected by the Coriolis force, since T ˝f1,
WAVES IN WATER. 1 Governing equations for waves on the sea surface. In this chapter we shall model the water as an inviscid and incompressible fluid, and consider waves of infinitesimal amplitude so that the linearized approximation suffices.
On an impervious boundary B (x; y; z; t) = 0, we have KBC: @Á * 3 ́ 3 ́ *v ¢ ^n = rÁ ¢ ^n = = U *x; t ¢ ^n *x; t = Un on B = 0 @n. Alternatively: a particle P on B remains on B, i.e. B is a material surface; e.g. if P is on B at. t = t0, i.e.
Basic waves To describe ocean waves, we use a right-handed, Cartesian coordinate system in which the z-axis points upward. The x- and y-axes point in horizontal directions at right angles. In the state of rest, the ocean surface coincides with z= 0. When waves are present, the surface is located at z= (x;y;t), where tis time. The ocean bottom is
Here, we now examine the second order wave equation. A variety of ocean waves follow this wave equation to a greater or lesser degree. The full second order wave equation is @2 @t2 c2r2 =0 (1.13) where r2 is the Laplacian operator operating in one, two, or three dimensions. Here again c is real and is constant. For analysis purposes, we ...
Together with knowledge of the dispersion relation ω = ω(k), we can analyze how an initial wave form evolves in time. where x= (x1, x2) and k= (k1, k2) are two-component vectors. The wave φ(x, t) given by (4.5) clearly reduces to (4.4) in case we introduce a (scalar) x-direction parallel to the k-vector.
