3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What does velocity potential represent?
Think about the relationship between potential energy and motion.
In which condition do water particles move in elliptical orbits?
Consider the ratio of depth to wavelength.
What shape do water particles follow in shallow water?
Remember the specific trajectory description in shallow conditions.
In deep water, how do water particles behave?
Think about how depth influences particle behavior.
Given water depth exceeds wavelength by a significant amount, derive the trajectory equation for water particles.
Use the properties of circular functions.
Calculate the particle displacement in a wave when given parameters h, d, and k. Compare results when d/L is greater than and less than 1/20.
Keep track of which equations correspond to shallow and deep waters.
