Book excerpt: Excerpt from Laboratory Study of the Generation of Wind Waves in Shallow Water The prediction of wave characteristics in shallow water is of great importance along much of the Gulf Coast of the United States, as well as for many inland water areas (as Lake Okeechobee, Florida). This has been difficult in the past as the effect of the shallow bottom is considerable, particularly in reducing the wave height from what would be expected by use of the deep water wave prediction methods. This report gives the results of some laboratory studies of wave generation in shallow water in a small enclosed wind-wave tank.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Solitary Wave and Periodic Waves in Shallow Water Numbers in square brackets refer to the bibliography at the end of the article. The theory given by Boussinesq involves a number of phys ical assumptions in addition to those of the basic hydro dynamical theory; it also leads to a differential equa tion for the wave profile. Both of these methods assume that the depth of the water is small compared to some horizontal dimension, and they might be interpreted as developments of the whole problem in powers of the ratio of the depth to some horizontal dimension, such as wave length. However, because these procedures are so unsys tematic, it is not clear that they are equivalent to such developments, nor to what order of approximation the so lutions obtained are valid. The method of proceeding to higher approximations is also obscure. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A laboratory program was undertaken (1) to determine the variation of wavelength, crest length, and wave velocity with fetch, water depth, and wind velocity; (2) to compare measured wave velocity with theory; and (3) to compare the results with those of 2-dimensional laboratory studies. Water depths from 0.5 to 2.5 in., wind speeds from 17 to 30 fps, and fetches from 0.5 to 10 ft were used. The still-water depth was checked, the fan was turned on, and the wind speed was adjusted for each run. The maximum wind velocity was recorded after steady-state wind conditions were reached, and motion pictures were then taken of about 12 successive waves crossing the field of view of the camera. There appeared to be no definite pattern to the waves. Three methods were used to obtain quantitative information on the short-crested pattern. A method analogous to the statistical method used to describe wavelength in the 2-dimensional model was most useful. Both crest length and wavelength had Gaussian distributions. The short-crested wave theory of Fuchs (NBS Circular No. 521, p. 187-200, Nov. 1952) predicted the measured wave velocities with a maximum deviation of 15%. An average deviation of 10% was obtained when the line intersection distribdtion method was used to determine the crest and wavelengths.

This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Directional Characteristics of Waves in Shallow Water 2. This report is intended for a readership with somewhat diverse backgrounds. As a result, some of the beginning material is basic and can be skipped (or scanned briefly). In particular, the remainder of Part I discusses importance of directional wave measurements, some past efforts in this regard, and some fundamental differences between low and high-resolution directional wave gages. Part II is essentially a tutorial on frequency direction spectra and can be skipped by those familiar with this subject. It also introduces basic notation and some conventional parameters. The reader might wish to scan Part II for these or refer to Appendix B, which lists all notation used in this report. Parameters introduced in Part II are also summarized at the end of Part V. Part III is a description of the measurement scheme, and the remaining parts are discussion and analysis of observations.
