Abstract
  • Problems associated with quantification of deep water wave kinematics and dynamics are examined. Summaries of Stokes' theory and Dean's stream function theory are reported. A computer algorithm is developed to solve the hydrodynamic characteristics for Stokes' fifth and third order and linear theories. Tests are initiated to verify the results obtained from the computer routine. Experimental data are obtained for several hydrodynamic characteristics in deep water conditions. Comparisons between Dean's stream function, Stokes' fifth and third order and linear wave theory, and experimental results are made for various deep water conditions.
