Wave Model: Propagation and Focusing of Linear Waves in Water of Constant Depth

摘要

Two different methods are presented that describe the propagation of linear waves in water of constant depth. One method is based on the angular-spectrum representation and the other on the impulse-response integral. The methods are applied to study the properties of water waves in focal regions. The work is motivated by the Institute's effort to focus ocean swells for power production purposes.
