| dc.description.abstract | Abstract: The height of waves generated by displacement type wave generators in shallow water is approximately equal to times an appropriate dimension of the wave generator. S is the stroke of the wave generator, L is the wave length given by small-amplitude theory, and the wave generator dimension is measured perpendicular to S. This relation agrees with the hydrodynamic theory for piston and flap-type wave generators over the range of relative depths usually used in coastal engineering experiments, and it agrees with data from four piston-type and two plunger-type wave generators for depths satisfying the condition < 1. This method of wave-height prediction can shorten the time spent on many coastal engineering experiments. | en_US |
