Subsea Riser Hydrodynamics, Mechanics of Sea Waves & Linear Wave Theory Online Course

This course gives an elementary introduction to linear wave theory. Linear wave theory is the core theory of ocean surface waves used in ocean and coastal engineering and naval architecture. The treatment is kept at a level that should be accessible to first year undergraduate students and does not require more than elementary calculus, probability and statistics. It will cover the linear theory of regular gravity waves on the surface of a fluid, in our case, the surface of water. For gravity waves, gravitation constitutes the restoration force, that is the force that keep the waves going. This applies to waves with wave lengths larger than a few centimeters. For shorter surface waves, capillary forces come into action. Later, this course covers basic wave motion and applies to all kind of waves. We briefly discuss the equations and boundary conditions which lead to water waves. Plane waves are treated in detail and simple superposition is also mentioned. We then proceed to three dimensional waves. The notes are rather short in the sense that they discuss the equations rather than the applications.
