surface and bottom boundary layers overlap.

Ocean Waves
Ocean waves may be classified by the generating force
(wind, seismic events, or gravitational pull of the
moon), the restoring force, (surface tension, gravity, the
earth’s rotation), or the frequency of the waves.

Wind Waves
A wind wave is
generated by the
friction of the wind
over the water’s
surface.
As the wind blows over the surface of the water, friction and
pressure differences create small ripples in the water surface.
The wind pushes on the back side of the wave and pulls on the front,
transferring energy and momentum to the water.
As the wind continues to transfer momentum to the water, the wave
becomes higher.
Wave Growth
The area where wind waves are form and grow is called the
generation area.
The heights of the waves in the generation area are determined by three
factors: wind speed, duration, and fetch.
Duration is the length of time the wind is blowing. The longer the
wind blows, the higher the waves and more chaotic the seas.
Fetch
Fetch is the horizontal distance that the wind blows across
the water.
T = WAVE PERIOD
Time taken for two successive crests to pass a given
point in space

Water particle displacements from mean position for
shallow-water and deepwater waves.
As waves approach a shoreline the water shallows and they change
from deepwater to transitional waves.
As water shallows the waves steepen and finally break to form surf
which surges towards the shoreline.
When surf reaches the beach it rushes up the beach face as swash
and then runs back down the slope as backwash.
Swash and backwash moves sediment up and down the beach face.
SUMMARY OF LINEAR WAVES
C = Celerity = Length/Time
The distance
a
particle is
displaced
during one
wave
period.
NB: Mass transport in the direction of propagation.
