    1-dimensional corollaries for two sinusoidal waves The following may be deduced by applying the principle of superposition to two sinusoidal waves, using trigonometric identities. The angle addition and sum-to-product trigonometric formulae are useful; in more advanced work complex numbers and fourier series and transforms are used.

  3. Three-wave equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-wave_equation

    Acoustic waves couple to deep-water waves in a three-wave interaction, [11] Vorticity waves couple in a triad. A uniform current (necessarily spatially inhomogenous by depth) has triad interactions. These cases are all naturally described by the three-wave equation. In plasma physics, the three-wave equation describes coupling in plasmas. [12]

  4. Waves and shallow water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waves_and_shallow_water

    After the wave breaks, it becomes a wave of translation and erosion of the ocean bottom intensifies. Cnoidal waves are exact periodic solutions to the Korteweg–de Vries equation in shallow water, that is, when the wavelength of the wave is much greater than the depth of the water.

  5. Wave equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_equation

    By comparison with vector wave equations, the scalar wave equation can be seen as a special case of the vector wave equations; in the Cartesian coordinate system, the scalar wave equation is the equation to be satisfied by each component (for each coordinate axis, such as the x component for the x axis) of a vector wave without sources of waves ...

  6. Regional Ocean Modeling System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_Ocean_Modeling_System

    Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) is a free-surface, terrain-following, primitive equations ocean model widely used by the scientific community for a diverse range of applications. The model is developed and supported by researchers at the Rutgers University , University of California Los Angeles and contributors worldwide.

  7. Chaos theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory

    Sprott [43] found a three-dimensional system with just five terms, that had only one nonlinear term, which exhibits chaos for certain parameter values. Zhang and Heidel [ 44 ] [ 45 ] showed that, at least for dissipative and conservative quadratic systems, three-dimensional quadratic systems with only three or four terms on the right-hand side ...

  8. Stokes wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes_wave

    While these ocean waves are random, and not Stokes waves (in the strict sense), they indicate the typical sharp crests and flat troughs as found in nonlinear surface gravity waves. A fundamental problem in finding solutions for surface gravity waves is that boundary conditions have to be applied at the position of the free surface , which is ...

  9. Quadratic form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_form

    Using homogeneous coordinates, a non-zero quadratic form in n variables defines an (n − 2)-dimensional quadric in the (n − 1)-dimensional projective space. This is a basic construction in projective geometry. In this way one may visualize 3-dimensional real quadratic forms as conic sections.
