From the 1950s to the 1980s, offshore drilling and production of petroleum resources progress prog ressed ed from water depths de pths of approximately app roximately 10 meters to over 300 meters, platforms for the latter being designed for wave heights on the order of 2 5 meters and costing in excess excess of $700,000,000 $700,000,000(U.S.). incentives (U.S.).The financial incentives of well-planned and comprehensive studies of water wave phenomena became much greater.

in the 1960s, the usual (spilling wave) assumption of the wave height inside the surf zone being proportional to the water depth avoids the important matter matt er of the distribu dist ribution tion of the applied longshore stress across the surf zone. This can only be reconciled through careful laboratory and field measurements of wave breaking. breaking. Wave energy provides another anot her example. In the last two decades remote sensing has indicated the potential of defining synoptic measures of wave intensity over very wide areas, are as, with the associated benefits to shipping effi efficien ciency. cy. Simple calculations of the magnitudes of the “standing “stand ing crop” of wave energy energy have stimulated sti mulated many scientists and engineer engineerss to devise ingenious mechanisms to harvest this energy. Still, these mechanisms must operate in a harsh environment known for its long-term corrosive and fouling effects an d the high-intensity high-intensity forces during duri ng severe storms.

It is toward towa rd this goal tha t this book is directed. Although Although the book is intended for use primarily primarily as a text at the advanced undergraduate first-year ar graduate gra duate level, it is hoped that th at it will serve also as a reference reference and o r first-ye will assist one to t o learn l earn the field through throug h self-stu self-study. dy. Toward these objectives, each chapter concludes with a number numb er of problems developed to illu illustrate strate by by application the material presented. The references references included should aid the student stud ent and an d the practicing engineer to extend their knowledge further. The book is comprised of twelve twelve chapters. Chapter 1 presents a number of comm common on examples exa mples illustrating illustra ting the wide range of water water wave phenomena, many of which can be commonly observed.

This material is presented completene ss, even though it will be familiar famil iar to many readers. for the sake of completeness, Chapter 3 formulates the linear water wave theory and develops the simplest simplest two-dimensional solution for standing and progressive waves.

Dedication SIR HORACE L A M B Sir Horace Hor ace Lamb 1849-1934) is best known for his extremely extr emely thorough and well-written book, Hydrodynamics, which first appeared in 1879 and has has been reprinted numerous times. It still serves serv es as a compendium of useful usef ul information as well as the source for a great number of papers and books. If this present book has but a small fraction of the appeal of

Hydrodynamics, the authors would be well satisfied.

Sir Horace Lamb was born b orn in Stockport, England in 1849, educated at Owens College, Manchester, and then Trinity College, Cambridge University, where he studied with professors such as J . Clerk Maxwell and G. G. Stokes. After his graduation, he lectured at Trinity Adelaide, e, Australia, Australia, to become Profes1822-1825) and then moved to Adelaid sor of Mathematics. After ten years, he returned to Owens College (part of Victoria University of Manchester) as Professor of Pure Mathematics; he remained remaine d until unt il 1920. Professor Lamb was noted for his excellent teaching and writing abilities. In response to a student tribute on the occasion oc casion of his eightieth birthday, he replied: “I did try to make things clear clear,, first to myself. my self... .and then to my students, and somehow make these dry bones live.” His research areas encompassed tides, waves, and earthquake properties as well as mathematics. 1

Introduction to W av e Mechanics Mechanics

Chap. 1

1.I NTRODUCTION

Rarely can can one fin find d a body of water open to the atmosphere that does not have waves on its i ts surface. These waves are a manifestation of forces acting on the fluid tending to deform it against the action of gravity and surface tension, which which together act to m maint aintain ain a level fluid surface. surface.Thus Thus it requires a force of some kind, such as would be caused b by y a gust of wind or a falling stone impacting on the water, to create waves. Once these are created, gravitational and surface su rface tension forces are a activated ctivated tthat hat allow the waves to propagate, in the same manner as tension on a string causes the string to vibrate, much to our listening enjoymen enjoyment. t. Waves Wav es occur in all sizes and an d forms, depend depending ing on the magnitude of the forces acting on the wat water. er. A simple illustration is that a small stone and a large rock create different-size waves after impacting on water. Further, different speeds of impact create different-size waves, which indicates that the pressure forces forces ac acting ting on the fluid surface are important, as we well ll as the magnitude of the displaced fluid. The gravitational attraction of the moon, sun, and an d other astronomical bodies creates the longest known water w waves, aves, the tides. These wa waves ves circle half halfway way aro aroun und d the ear earth th from end to end a and nd travel with tremendous speeds. The shortest waves can be less than a centimeter in length. The length of the wave gives one an idea of the magnitude of the forces acting on the waves. For example, the longer the wave, wav e, the more impo importan rtantt gravity (compr (comprised ised o off the contributions from the earth, the moon, and the sun) is in relation to surface tension. The importance of waves cannot be overestimated. Anything that is near or in a body of water is subject to wave action. At the coast, this can result in the movement of sa sand nd along the shore, causing erosion or damage to structures during storms. In tthe he water, offshore oil platforms must be able to withstand severe storms without destruction. At present drilling depths exceeding 300 m, this th is requires enormous and expensive structur structures. es. On the water, all ships are subjected to wave attack, and countless ships have foundered due to t o waves which have been observed tto o be as large as 34 m in height. heig ht. Further, any ship moving through water creates a pressure field and, hence, waves. These waves create a significant portion of the resistance to motion enountered by the ships.

1.2 CHARACTERISTICS OF WAVES

The important parameters parameters to describe wav waves es are their leng length th and height, and the water depth over ove r which they ar are e propagating. Al Alll othe otherr parameters, such as wave-induced water velocities and accelerations, can be determined theoretically from these quantities. In Figure 1.1, a two-dimensional schematic of a wave propagating in the x direction is shown. The length of the wav wave, e,

points on a wave, or alternatively the distance between two wave troughs. The wave length will be show shown n later to be related to the water depth h and wave period T , which is the time required for two successi successive vecrests or troughs to pass a particular particular point. A s the wave, then, must move a distance L in time he speed of the wave, called the celerity, C, is defined as C L /T . While T , wave the form travels trav els with celerity C, the water that comprises the wave does not translate tran slate in th the e direction of the wave. The coordinate axis that will be used to describe wave motion will be located loca ted at the still w water ater line, z = 0. The bottom of the water body wi will ll b be e at z = -h. Waves in nature rarely appear to look exactly the same from wave to wave, nor do they always propagate in the same direction. If a device to measure the water surface elevation, 9 , as a function func tion of time was pla placed ced on a platform in the middle of the ocean, it might obtain a record such as that shown in Figure 1:2. This sea can be seen to be a superposition of a large number of sinusoids go going ing in dif different ferent directio directions. ns. For example, consider the two sine waves waves shown in Figure 1.3 and their sum. It is this superpo superposition sition of sinusoids that permits th the e use of Fourier analysis and spec spectral tral techniques to be used in describing the sea. Unfortunately, there is a great amount of randomness randomne ss in the sea, and st statistical atistical techniques need to be brought to bear. Fortunately, very large waves waves or, alterna alternatively, tively,waves waves in shallow water appear appea r

In order to investigate water waves most effectively, a reasonably good background in fluid dynamics and mathematics is helpful. Although it is anticipated that the reader has this background, a review of the essential derivations and equations is offered here as a refresher and to acquaint the reader with the notation to be used through throughout out the book. A mathematical tool that will be used often is the Taylor series. Mathematically, it can be shown that if a continuous functionfix, y) of two independent variables x and y is known at at,, say say,, x equal to XO,hen XO,hen it can be approximated at another location on the x axis axis,, xo + A x , by theTaylor series.

PIERRE SIMON LAPLACE Pierre Simon Laplace L aplace ((17 1749 49-1 -182 827) 7) is well known for the equation that bears his name. The Laplace equation is one of the most ubiquitous equations of mathematical mathematical physics (the (the Helmholtz, the diffusion, and the wave equation being others); others); it appears in i n electrostatics, hydrodynamics, groundwater flow flow,, thermostatics, and other fields. As had Euler, Euler, Laplace worked worke d in a great variety of areas, applying his knowledge of mathematics to physical problems. He has been called the the Newton of France. He was born in Beaumont-en-Auge, Normandy, France, and educated at Capn Capn (1765(1765-176 1767). 7). In 1768 1768 he he became Professo Pro fessorr of MatheMathe matics at the Ecole Militaire in Paris. Later he moved to the Ecole Normale, also in Paris.

problems of physics and most analytical problems in engineering may be posed as boundary value problems; however, in some developments, this may not be apparent. The formulation of a boundary boun dary value problem is simply simply the expression expression in mathematical terms of the physical physical situation situatio n such that a unique solution exists. This generally consists of first establishing a region of interest and specifyinga differential equatio equ ation n that th at must be satisfied within the th e region (see Figure Figu re 3.la). Often, Often, there a re a n infinite number of solutions to the differen differen-tial equation and the remaining task is selecting the one or more solutions that ar e relevant to the physical physical problem under investigation. investigation. This selection selection is effecte effected d through the boundary boun dary conditions, that is, rejecting those solutions solu tions that a re not compatible with these conditions. conditions. In addition to the spatial (or geometric) boundary conditions, there are temporal boundary conditions which specify the state of the variable of interest at some point in time. time . This temporal condition is termed a n “initial “initial condition.” If we are interested in water waves, which are periodic in space, then we might specify, for example, that the waves are propagating in the positive x dire directio ction n a nd that at t = 0, the wave crest is located at x = 0. In the following development of linear water wave theory, it will be helpful help ful to relate each each major step to the general general structure struc ture of boundary value problems discussed previously. Figure Figure 3.lb presents the t he region of interest, the governing differential equations, and indicates in a general manner the important boundary conditions. 3.2.1 The Governing Dif feren tial Equation Equation

First, as mentioned earlier, the velocity potential can be defined for both two and three dimensions, dimensions, whereas the defi definition nition of the stream function is such that it can only be defined for three dimensions if the flow is symmetric about an axis (in this case although the flow occurs in three dimensions, it is mathematically two-dimensional). It ttherefore herefore follow followss that the stream function is of greatest use in cases where the wave motion occurs in one plane.

Therefore, we can add and subtract solutions to build up solutions applicable for different problems of interest. 3.2.2 Bounda Boundary ry Condition s

At any surface or fluid interface, it is clear that there t here must be no flow across the interfa interface; ce; otherwise, there would be no interface.

If the surface surf ace vanes with time, as would the water surface, then the total derivative of the surface with respect to time would be zero on the surface.

Dynamic Free Surface Boundary Condition.

The boundary conditions for fixed surfaces arexelatively easy to prescribe, as shown in the preceding section, and they apply on the known surface. A distinguishing feature of fixed, (in space)that surfaces is that they support pressure variations. However, However surfaces are ar e “free,” ssuch uch can as the air-w air-water ater interface, cannot support variations iin n pressure2across tthe he interfac interface e and henc hence e must respond in order to maintain the pressure as uniform. A second boundary condition, termed a dynamic boundary condition, is thus required on any free surface or interface, to prescribe the pressure distribution pressures on this boundary. An An interesting effect o off the displacement of the free surface is that the position of the upper boundary is not known a priori in the water wave problem. This aspect causes considerable difficulty in the attempt to obtain accurate accu rate solutions that apply for large wave heigh heights ts (Chapter 11). A s the dynamic free surface surface boundary condition is a requirem requirement ent that the pressure on the free surface be uniform along the wave form, the Bernoulli equation [Eq.
