The Waves

The waves on a free surface of 2D deep water can be split into two groups: the waves moving to the right, and the waves moving to the left. A specific feature of the four-wave interactions of water waves allows to describe the evolution of the two groups as a system of two equations. The fundamental consequence of this decomposition is the conservation of the “number of waves” in each particular group. The envelope approximation for the waves in each group of counter streaming waves is obtained.

The Waves

In a previous paper I investigated the problem of the formation of waves on deep water by wind, and found that the available data were consistent with the hypothesis that the growth of the waves is due principally to a systematic difference between the pressures of the air on the front and rear slopes. Lamb had already discussed the maintenance of waves against viscosity by an approximate method, but without obtaining numerical results. Being under the incorrect impression that Lamb’s approximation would not hold for the short waves I was chiefly considering, I proceeded on more elaborate lines. It now appears, however, that Lamb’s method is not only applicable to the problem of waves on deep water, but is readily extended to cover the case when the water is comparatively shallow, and to allow for surface tension. The fundamental approximations are first, the usual one that squares of the displacements from the steady state can be neglected, and second, that viscosity modifies the motion of the water to only a small extent. The motion of the water can then, to a first approximation, be considered as irrotational. With the previous notation, let ζ be the elevation of the free surface x, y, z the position co-ordinates, t the time, U the undisturbed velocity of the water, h the depth, and φ the velocity potential. Also let σ, p, q , and ϑ denote respectively ∂/∂ t , ∂/∂ x , ∂/∂ y , and ∂/∂ z , and write p 2 + q 2 = - r 2 .

Deep Water Waves

This article presents a study of bound periodically oscillating coherent structures arising on the free surface of deep water. Such structures resemble the well known bi-soliton solution of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The research was carried out in the super-compact Dyachenko-Zakharov equation model for unidirectional deep water waves and the full system of nonlinear equations for potential flows of an ideal incompressible fluid written in conformal variables. The special numerical algorithm that includes a damping procedure of radiation and velocity adjusting was used for obtaining such bound structures. The results showed that in both nonlinear models for deep water waves after the damping is turned off, a periodically oscillating bound structure remains on the fluid surface and propagates stably over hundreds of thousands of characteristic wave periods without losing energy.

Deep Water Waves

The present study is focused on performance issues of underwater vehicles near the free surface and gives insight into the analysis of a speed loss in regular deep water waves. Predictions of the speed loss are based on the evaluation of the total resistance and effective power in calm water and preselected regular wave fields w.r.t. the non-dimensional wave to body length ratio. It has been assumed that the water is sufficiently deep and that the vehicle is operating in a range of small to moderate Froude numbers by moving forward on a straight-line course with a defined encounter angle of incident regular waves. A modified version of the Doctors & Days [1] method as presented in Skejic and Jullumstrø [2] is used for the determination of the total resistance and consequently the effective power. In particular, the wave-making resistance is estimated by using different approaches covering simplified methods, i.e. Michell’s thin ship theory with the inclusion of viscosity effects Tuck [3] and Lazauskas [4] as well as boundary element methods, i.e. 3D Rankine source calculations according to Hess and Smith [5]. These methods are based on the linear potential fluid flow and are compared to fully viscous finite volume methods for selected geometries. The wave resistance models are verified and validated by published data of a prolate spheroid and one appropriate axisymmetric submarine model. Added resistance in regular deep water waves is obtained through evaluation of the surge mean second-order wave load. For this purpose, two different theoretical models based on potential flow theory are used: Loukakis and Sclavounos [6] and Salvesen et. al. [7]. The considered theories cover the whole range of important wavelengths for an underwater vehicle advancing in close proximity to the free surface. Comparisons between the outlined wave load theories and available theoretical and experimental data were carried out for a submerged submarine and a horizontal cylinder. Finally, the effective power and speed loss are discussed from a submarine operational point of view where the mentioned parameters directly influence mission requirements in a seaway. All presented results are carried out from the perspective of accuracy and efficiency within common engineering practice. By concluding current investigations in regular waves an outlook will be drawn to the application of advancing underwater vehicles in more realistic sea conditions.

AbstractWave reflection by a wedge in deep water is examined, where the wedge can represent a breakwater of finite length or the bow of a ship heading directly into the waves. In addition, the form of the solution allows the results to apply to ships heading at an angle into the waves. We consider a deep-water wavetrain approaching the wedge head on from infinity and being reflected. Far from the wedge there is a field of progressive waves (the incident wavetrain) while close to the wedge there is a short-crested wavefield (the incident and reflected wavetrains). A weakly-nonlinear slowly-varying averaged Lagrangian theory is used to describe the problem (see Whitham [16]) as the theory includes the nonlinear interaction between the incident and reflected wavetrains. This modelling of a short-crested wavefield allows the nonlinear wavefield to be found for broad wedges, as opposed to previous theories which are applicable to thin wedges only.It is shown that the governing partial differential equations are hyperbolic and that the solution comprises two regions, within which the wave properties are constant separated by a wave jump. Given the wedge angle and the incident wavefield, the jump angle and the wave steepness and wavenumber of the short-crested wave-field behind the wave jump can be determined. Two solution branches are found to exist: one corresponds to regular reflection, while for small amplitudes the other is similar to Mach-reflection and so it is called near Mach-reflection. Results are presented describing both solution branches and the transition between them.

The Waves

In a previous paper**, it was shown that the mechanism of the trochoidal waves can be used to determine the equilibrium slope of a sand beach under any wave conditions. As a start it was assumed that the beach material was of uniform grain size, and that the waves approached the beach directly with all motion in planes at right angles to the shore line. In the present paper, the application of the theory is shown in the development of various sand and gravel beaches. The equilibrium theory is studied in the light of the fact that there is usually considerable transportation of material along the shore. In particular, attention is called to the characteristics of beaches with rounded or pointed contours, of beaches whose ends are closed off by rocks or cliffs, or whose ends are open and extend into deep water without barriers of any kind. A method of study and analysis is demonstrated which can be applied to all beaches. Finally, it is shown that an accurate forecast of the natural development of a beach can be made on the basis of the equilibrium slope equation, as well as a forecast of the effect of any structure placed in a naturally developing beach.

<p><span>               The work presents the results of studying the bound coherent structures propagating on the free surface of ideal incompressible fluid of infinite depth. Examples of such structures are bi-solitons which are exact solutions of the known approximate model for deep water waves — the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE). Recently, when studying multiple breathers collisions, the occurrence of such objects was found in a more accurate model of the supercompact equation for unidirectional water waves [1]. The aim of this work is obtaining and further studying such structures with different parameters in the supercompact equation and in the full system of nonlinear equations for potential flows of an ideal incompressible fluid written in conformal variables. </span><span>The algorithm used for finding the bound coherent objects was similar to the one described in [2]. As the initial conditions for obtaining such structures in the framework of the above models, the NLSE bi-soliton solutions were used, as well as two single breathers numerically found by the Petviashvili method and placed in a same point of the computational domain. During the evolution calculation the initial structures emitted incoherent waves which were filtered at the boundaries of the domain using the damping procedure. It is shown that after switching off the filtering of radiation, periodically oscillating coherent objects remain on the surface of the liquid, propagate stably during one hundred thousand characteristic wave periods and do not lose energy. The profiles of such structures at different parameters are compared.</span></p><p><span>This work was supported by RSF grant </span><span>19-72-30028</span><span> and </span><span>RFBR grant </span><span>20-31-90093</span><span>.</span></p><p><span>[1] Kachulin D., Dyachenko A., Dremov S.

Insight Into

An ocean swell refers to a train of periodic or nearly periodic waves. The wave train can propagate on the free surface of a body of water over very long distances. A great deal of the current study in the dynamics of water waves is focused on ocean swells. These swells are typically created initially in the neighborhood of an ocean storm, and then the swell propagates away from the storm in all directions. We consider a different kind of wave, called seas, which are created by and driven entirely by wind. These waves typically have no periodicity, and can rise and fall with changes in the wind. Specifically, this is a two-fluid problem, with air above a moveable interface, and water below it. We focus on the local dynamics at the air-water interface. Various properties at this locality have implications on the waves as a whole, such as pressure differentials and velocity profiles. The following analysis provides insight into the dynamics of seas, and some of the features of these intriguing waves, including a process known as white-capping.

Small Disturbances

The form and evolution of three-dimensional standing waves in deep water are calculated analytically from Zakharov's equation and computationally from the full nonlinear bounddary value problem. The water is contained in a basin with a square cross-cection, when three-dimensional properties to pairs of sides are the same. It is found that non-periodic standing waves commonly follow forms of cyclic recurrence over times. The two-dimensional Stokes type of periodic standing waves (dominated by the fundamental harmonic) are shown to be unstable to three dimensional disturbances, but over long times the waves return cyclically close to their initial state. In contrast, the three-dimensional Stokes type of periodic standing waves are found to be stabel to small disturbances. New two-dimensional periodic standing waves with amplitude maxima at other than the fundamental harmonic have been investigated recently (Bryant & Stiassnie 1994). The equivalent three-dimensional standing waves are described here. The new two-dimensional periodic standing waves, like the two-dimensional Stokes standing waves, are found to be unstable to three-dimensional disturbances, and to exhibit cyclic recurrence over long times. Only some of the new three-dimensional periodic standing waves are found to be stable to small disturbances.

Effect Of Surface

AbstractIn this paper the effect of surface tension on water waves is considered. The usual assumptions of the linearized theory are made. A uniqueness theorem is derived for the waves at infinity for a general class of bounded two-dimensional obstacles in a free surface by means of an energy argument. It is shown how the wave amplitude at infinity depends on the prescribed angle at which the free surface meets the normal to the obstacle. The particular case of a heaving half-immersed circular cylinder is considered in detail, and an expression obtained for the velocity potential in terms of a convergent infinite series, the coefficients of which may be computed.
