Wave Kinematics and Pressure Field of Third-Order Theory for Bichromatic Bi-Directional Waves in Water of Finite Depth

Abstract:

Based on the third-order theory for bichromatic bi-directional waves in water of finite depth, a set of explicit formulas for the state-of-the art quantities of wave kinematics for horizontal and vertical particle displacements, velocities and accelerations, and wave pressure field is developed, and would be much more accurate and realistic in the design of harbor, coastal and offshore structures and their structural members.
