20. ABSTRACT (Continue on rvverae elde If neceoaary and Identify by block number) 



Volume I of of this report presents the results of a research program to evaluate and develop water-wave theories 

 for engineering application. Volume 11 presents wave tables developed for preliminary design in offshore problems. 



Volume I describes: (1) an evaluation of the degree to which various available wave theories satisfy the 

 nonlinear water-wave mathematical formulation and (2) a comparison of water particle velocities measured in the 

 laboratory with those predicted by a number of available wave theories. The results indicated that Dean's 

 Stream-Function Wave Theory provided generally better agreement with both the mathematical formulation and
