2.2 Formulation of Linear Airy Wave Theory

A Linear Airy wave theory and the associated assumptions are discussed in this section. Based on this theory, analytical expressions for the water particle’s velocities, particle paths, particle accelerations, and pressure are established. Even though this theory is not strictly applicable to typical design waves in offshore engineering, it is a preliminary calculation to reveal the basic characteristics of wave-induced water motion. Airy’s linear theory gives an expression for horizontal and vertical water particle velocities at (x, y) and time, t, as depicted in the following equations:

The horizontal water particle velocity, u;
