Module 4
Water waves – classification into periodic progressive, periodic oscillatory, oscillatory and stationary waves – ocean waves – wave period – wave length and celerity. General expression for the celerity of deep Water – gravity wave and shallow water gravity wave – determination of the wave length and celerity for any water depth given the deep water wave amount as wave energy (no proof). Wave deformation – transformation of waves on a slope (description only) reflection of waves at a vertical sea wall. Clapotis – wave refraction – breaking of waves (description only).
