Long

wave motion is often used in hydraulics where the pressure is hydrostatic and

waves are small because this linearises the SWE to form a sine Wave

solution.  For this to occur:

A

single wave is defined as a depth change that is fairly abruptly from one value

to another in a transient. 

Wave

velocity is known as celerity

The

total power of a wide wave may be defined as:

The

One-Dimensional Shallow Water Equations are based on which two equations:

Wave

amplitude is at a maximum at a node

Tsunami

waves are tidal waves.

When

two equal waves approach each other, one incident and the other reflected, the

amplitudes are cancelled out at all points.

The

total energy of a wave is:
