Water Waves• It is important to distinguish between the various types of water waves
that may be generated and propagated.
• One way to classify waves is by wave period T, or by the frequency f.
Fig.2 Approximate distribution of ocean surface wave energy illustrating the classification of surface waves by wave band, primary disturbing force, and primary restoring force.
Gravity Waves
• Seas when the waves are under the influence of wind in a generating area
– Usually made up of steeper waves with shorter periods and lengths, and the surface appears much more disturbed than for swell.
• Swell when the waves move out of the generating area and are no longer subjected to significant wind action
– Behaves much like a free wave (i.e., free from the disturbing force that caused it), while seas consist to some extent of forced waves (i.e., waves on which the disturbing force is applied continuously).
Small-Amplitude Wave Theory (1)
• Several Assumptions commonly made in developing a simple wave theory
a. The fluid is homogeneous and incompressible; therefore, the density ρ is a constant.
b. Surface tension can be neglected.c. Coriolis effect can be neglected.d. Pressure at the free surface is uniform and constant.e. The fluid is ideal or inviscid (lacks viscosity).f. The particular wave being considered does not interact with any
other water motions.g. The bed is a horizontal, fixed, impermeable boundary, which im
plies that the vertical velocity at the bed is zero.h. The wave amplitude is small and the waveform is invariant in ti
me and space.i. Waves are plane or long crested (two dimensional).
Small-Amplitude Wave Theory (2)
Wave length L, height H, period T, and depth d, the displacement of the water surface η relative to the SWL and is a function of x and time t.

Small-Amplitude Wave Theory (4)• Gravity waves may be classified by the water depth in which they travel. Th
e classifications are made according to the magnitude of d/L and the resulting limiting values taken by the function tanh(kd):
• In deep water, tanh(kd) approaches unity, Eqs. (2) and (3) reduce to

• When the relative water depth becomes shallow, Eq.(2) can be simplified to

(6)• In wave force studies, or numerical wave generation, it is often desirable to know the
local fluid velocities and accelerations for various values z and t during the passage of a wave.
• The horizontal component u of the local fluid velocity:

• The vertical component w of the local fluid velocity:
(8)
• The local fluid particle acceleration in the horizontal:

Small-Amplitude Wave Theory (6)• A sketch of the local fluid motion indicates that the fluid under the
crest moves in the direction of wave propagation and returns during passage of the trough.
Fig.4 Local fluid velocities and accelerations.
Small-Amplitude Wave Theory (7)• Water particles generally move in elliptical paths in shallow or
transitional water and in circular paths in deep water.

Small-Amplitude Wave Theory (8)• Stokes’ Second-Order Wave Theory• Equation of the free-surface:
(11)
• Expressions for wave celerity and wave length are identical to those obtained by liner theory.
• Stokes (1880) found that a wave having a crest angle less that 120o would break (angle between two lines tangent to the surface profile at the wave crest).
• Michell (1893) found that in deep water the theoretical limit for wave steepness was;

Small-Amplitude Wave Theory (9)• Linear theory: A wave is symmetrical about the SWL and has water particles that
move in closed orbits.
• Second-order theory: A waveform is unsymmetrical about the SWL but still symmetrical about a vertical line through the crest and has water particle orbits that are open. The wave profile of second-order theory shows typical non-liner features, such as higher and narrower crest and smaller and flatter trough than the linear one.

Free-surface Conditions-Kinematic Condition 1-
In case the variables of density , velocity v, normal vector n and infinitesimally small segment of free-surface ds are defined as shown in Figure, the conservation of mass across ds becomes,

Suppose that two fluids are not mixed and then
(13)
that is
(14)
Eq.(3) is the kinematic condition on the free-surface boundary, which means that fluid particles on the free-surface remain on the same boundary.

Free-surface Conditions-Kinematic Condition 3-
To implement the kinematic condition of free-surface and to determine the free-surface configuration the MDF is used. Two-layer flow is considered and the density of the fluid in the lower and upper layers is denoted and . The MDF is governed by the following transportation equation.
(18)
where the MDF takes the value between 0 and 1 all over the computational domain and th
is scalar value has the meaning of porosity in each cell. Eq.(18) is calculated at each time step and the free-surface location is determined to be the position where the MDF takes the mean value as
(19)
The interface location is the same as the wave height function h in general unless overturning and breaking waves are considered. Thus, Eq.(18) is more general and solved for the movement of fluid interface.

Here, is the surface tension, the radius of curvature, the dynamic viscosity and the pressure. The subscripts 1 and 2 denote the fluid 1 (lower layer) and fluid 2 (upper layer).
Assume that the viscous stress and surface tension on the free-surface are ignored and then the dynamic conditions are written in the following simple forms.
