water waves, we will refract them. The influence of wave on depth is attenuated exponentially. In deepwater, a wave with a height of 5 m and a length of
150 m can only cause a movement with a diameter of 60 cm at 50 m below
the water surface, and the water particle velocity is reduced from 1.6 m/s to
0.2 m/s. Under 15 m, 2–3 m waves have little effect.
3.8.2 Basic Characteristics of Wave Motion
There is two-dimensional wave motion, which propagates on the water
surface with constant water depth. Take the x-axis as the direction of wave
advance and the z-axis as vertical upward. The height of the equilibrium water
surface is z = 0, and the height of the water surface where the wave travels
is, as shown in Fig. 3.69.
At the same time, the acceleration in the Z-direction is ignored, and the
pressure obeys the distribution of hydrostatic pressure, that is
p = p a + γ (η − z)
Among them, p a is the atmospheric pressure and γ is the bulk density of
the water body. The following can be obtained:
