Equations for wave kinematics and wave dynamics based on small amplitude wave theory have been used in the prediction of wave deformations and wave-indused currents. However, the applicability of the linear wave theory is questionable in a river mouth where forced wave breaking and strong wave-current interaction take place. A numerical model based on the non-linear dispersive wave theory has been developed, the results by this model was compared with the values of the experiments and the linear theory. Wave transformations including shoaling, wave-current interaction and wave breaking by the model showed a good agreement with the experimental result. In the prediction of wave-induced currents, the excess momentum flux (Pxx) computed by the model has more reasonable value than the radiation stress ( Sxx) calculated by the small amplitude wave theory.

The field observations on wave pressures on large circular cylindrical structures are performed at the cooling water intake structure for Hamaoka nuclear power plant, which is located at the coast of Pacific Ocean. In this report, the results of the field observation on wave pressures are compared with the results of the calculation by small amplitude wave theory considering wave diffraction around the cylinder.

A body is started from rest and moves on an arbitrary path in an inviscid isothermal compressible atmosphere. The phase configuration of the internal waves and the gravity-modified acoustic waves which are generated by the body is studied using small amplitude wave theory. When the body moves at supersonic speeds and the background density gradient approaches zero, it is shown how the wave solutions approach the pure acoustic wave solutions of Lilleyet al.(1953).
