fluid dynamics, a wind wave, or wind-generated water wave, is a surface wave that occurs on the free surface of bodies of water as a result of the wind...

water waves generally refers to frequency dispersion, which means that waves of different wavelengths travel at different phase speeds. Water waves,...

waves travel into areas of shallow water, they begin to be affected by the ocean bottom. The free orbital motion of the water is disrupted, and water...

that moves offshore while waves approach the shore. Undertow is a natural and universal feature for almost any large body of water; it is a return flow compensating...

tsunamis, which are long wavelength waves, often almost unnoticeable in deep waters and are caused by the displacement of water due to other phenomena (such...

(for example, vacuum, air, or water) that a wave travels through. Examples of waves are sound waves, light, water waves and periodic electrical signals...

Internal wave, a wave within a fluid medium Shock wave, in aerodynamics Sound wave, a wave of sound through a medium such as air or water Tidal wave, a scientifically...

the Boussinesq approximation for water waves is an approximation valid for weakly non-linear and fairly long waves. The approximation is named after...

In fluid dynamics, wave shoaling is the effect by which surface waves, entering shallower water, change in wave height. It is caused by the fact that the...

within the body of the water (such as between parts of different densities) are called internal waves. Wind-generated waves on the water surface are examples...

frequency-dependence of wave propagation and attenuation. Dispersion may be caused either by geometric boundary conditions (waveguides, shallow water) or by interaction...

lit. 'harbour wave', pronounced [tsɯnami]) is a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of water, generally in an...

but other waves such as sound waves and water waves also experience refraction. How much a wave is refracted is determined by the change in wave speed and...

such as mechanical waves (e.g. water waves, sound waves and seismic waves) or electromagnetic waves (including light waves). It arises in fields like acoustics...

waving, each form having its own meaning. Waving has four variables: the open palm (is the palm curved or straight), the angle of the wave (big waves...

Wave power is the capture of energy of wind waves to do useful work – for example, electricity generation, water desalination, or pumping water. A machine...

light, radio, acoustic, surface water waves, gravity waves, or matter waves as well as in loudspeakers as electrical waves. The word interference is derived...

the foam of the wave is replaced with rabbits. On computer operating systems designed by Apple Inc., the emoji character for a water wave (🌊) strongly...

The shallow-water equations (SWE) are a set of hyperbolic partial differential equations (or parabolic if viscous shear is considered) that describe the...

depends on the size of the wave, and its width on the depth of water. Unlike normal waves they will never merge—so a small wave is overtaken by a large one...
