  • Case 10D: 3rd Order Stream Function Wave Theory

  • Definitions: ? 0=( g/2 ?) T 2 is the deep-water wavelength calculated from linear wave theory, H is the wave height, g is the gravitational constant, T is the wave period, X(n) is the nth stream function coefficient, ? is the nonlinear wavelength, ? ? is the value of stream function on the free surface ?( ?).
