Water waves

|
Abstract
|
One of the problems of water waves
is to understand the behavior of surface waves near the front of a
disturbance. We present mathematical formulation of the governing
equations of water waves, classifications of waves and solutions
through the linearized formulation. However, we see that the asymptotic
theory gives a better understanding of the behavior of wave trains near
the front of a disturbance and finally, the full Korteweg DeVries
equation provides a description of the behavior of long waves.
