| | Stream Function Wave Theory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) |
 | | The velocities and total accelerations under the forward half of the stream function wave (it is moving from left to right) can be examined by clicking the mouse at any location within the water. |
 | | The order of the Stream function wave is a measure of how nonlinear the wave is. In deep water, the order can be low, 3 to 5 say, while, in very shallow water, the order can be as great as 30. |
 | | This is an attempt by the Stream Function theory to develop a periodic wave train, not a new wave discovery (Dalrymple and Solano, J. Waterway, Port, Coastal and Ocean Eng, 1986). |
