1 WavesKrauss Chapter NineWaveParameters Wavelength = = Length between wave crests (or troughs) Wave Number = = 2 / (units of 1/length) Wave Period = T = Time it takes a wave crest to travel onewavelength (units of time) Angular Frequency = = 2 /T (units of 1/time) Wave Speed = C = / Distance a wave crest travels per unittime (units of distance/time) Wave Height = 2a = Twice the wave amplitude Wave Steepness = Wave Height/Wavelength2-Ideal waves Propagate Energybut not MassWave EquationNavier-Stokes EquationIgnoring viscous forces and looking just at the x and the a solution for Eq.
7 Wave Dispersion: S el fo rt ingDp- W avsL Storm Region based on Wavelength. It Occurs Because Longer Wavelength Waves Travel Faster than Shorter Wavelength Waves (for Deep Water).
