Example 2— Wave Characteristics, Kinematics and Pressure Fields 



This example describes the use of the tables for calculating various parameters associated 

 with a periodic wave. These parameters include the wavelength and the kinematic and 

 pressure fields. 



Wavelength 



The wavelength is presented in dimensionless form in Table XI of the sample output and 

 is determined as follows: 



27r 



For example, for the same wave considered in Example 1, L' = 0.422 and T = 20 seconds. 

 The wavelength is therefore : 



L = 5.12 (20)2(0.422) = 864.3 ft 



Wave Profile 



The dimensionless wave profile, tj'(0), is tabulated in each of Tables I through IX and is 

 defined as: 



n'(6) =
