Phy 426 Fall (K) 2011 --- Surface Gravity Wave Equation

PHY 426

Schedule

Class Project

Back to SEOS

Please read Sec 7.4 and 7.5

Q The derivation in 7.4 is different from the shallow water equations we considered before. How?

Q For long waves, we think of the pressure at all depths being set by the sea surface height. Why doesn't this work for shorter waves?
