Finite amplitude deep water waves : a comparison of theoretical and experimental kinematics and dynamics

Creator:

Jensen, Robert E.

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...
