ACKNOWLEDGMENT 



The writer has had the opportunity of collaborating with a 

 number of researchers who have deeply contributed to establishing 

 the present state of the art. The original contributions of Dr. Li-San 

 Hwang, Manager of the Hydrodynamics Group at Tetra Tech, Inc. 

 and Mr. David Divoky have been of invaluable assistance in assembling 

 and editing this material and verifying formulation and notation. 

 Dr. William Van Dorn of Scripps Institution of Oceanography and 

 Mr, Robert Whalin of the Waterways Experiment Station have also 

 significantly contributed to the contents. Dr. Van Dorn revised this 

 manuscript and made many most pertinent suggestions. Mr. John 

 Strange provided the writer with the set of experimental data on wave 

 generation obtained by the Waterways Experiment Station. This study 

 was sponsored by the Office of Naval Research, Contract No. 

 N00014-68-C-0227, under the technical management of Mr, Jacob L. 

 Warner,
