13 Solve the linearized equations 1. Preliminary problems a) Find bounded "(x,y,z,t) such that: Solution: " = a sin (kx) on z = 0, " 2 # = 0 " z # = 0, " = a cosh(k(z + h)) cosh(kh) sin(kx) c) Change top boundary condition to -h < z < 0, on z = -h.

14 Solve the linearized equations 2. Rewrite in complex notation " = Re {a e ikx +ily } on z = 0, " 2 # = 0 " z # = 0, -h < z < 0, on z = -h. " = Re{a# cosh($(z + h)) cosh($h) e ikx+ily }, $ 2 = k 2 + l Use these functions to satisfy boundary conditions at z = 0 (the linearized approximation for the free surface).

17 Solve the linearized equations 4. Linearized equations at free surface: " " t # + g$ = % & ' 2 t # = " z $, $, on z = 0, Find linearized dispersion relation: " 2 = (g + # $ % 2 )[% & tanh(%h)], % 2 = k 2 + l 2. Frequency gravity surface tension water depth wavenumbers

18 Solve the linearized equations 5. Linearized dispersion relation " 2 = (g + # $ % 2 )[% & tanh(%h)], % 2 = k 2 + l 2. General fact: If a system of linear evolution equations has a dispersion relation, it encodes all the important information about wave propagation in those equations.

19 Solve linearized equations in 2-D 5. Linearized dispersion relation in 2-D (" y # 0) Define so " 2 = (gh + # $ k 2 h)[ tanh(kh) ]% k 2 kh "(k) = gh + # $ k 2 h % "(k) k # 0 tanh(kh) kh % k Then construct general solution of linearized problem in 2-D:

20 Linearized solution in 2-D, "(k) k # 0 "(x,z,t) = 1 cosh(k(z + h)) ( ' $ % (k) e i(kx%&(k)t ) dk 2# %' cosh(kh) + 1 cosh(k(z + h)) ( ' $ + (k) e i(kx +&(k )t ) dk, 2# %' cosh(kh) right-going waves "(x,t) = 1 2# ( 1 2# * ) () * ) () [ i$(k) g + % & k 2 ' ( (k)]ei(kx($(k )t ) dk [ i$(k) g + % & k 2 ' + (k)]ei(kx +$(k)t ) dk. "(x,t) Re{e i(kx-$t) } x

21 B. Linearized dispersion relation, 2-D 1. The dispersion relation "(k) = gh + # $ k 2 h % For a right-going wave, tanh(kh) kh % k "(x,t) = 1 * ) [ i$(k) 2# g + % k ' ((k)]e i(kx($(k )t ) dk () 2 & Define the phase velocity, c p (k) = "(k) k # 0 For each k, its wave crests move with speed c p (k).

22 Linearized dispersion relation, 2-D 2. For any dispersion relation of one variable, $(k), c p (k) = "(k) k, c g (k) = d" dk define phase velocity group velocity.

23 Linearized dispersion relation, 2-D 2. For any dispersion relation of one variable, $(k), c p (k) = "(k) k, c d" g (k) = dk define phase velocity group velocity. a) For wave equation in 1-D, $ = ck! All waves travel with same speed! nondispersive. c p = c g = c

24 Linearized dispersion relation, 2-D 2. For any dispersion relation of one variable, $(k), define phase velocity group velocity. a) For wave equation in 1-D, $ = ck! All waves travel with same speed! nondispersive. d 2 " c p (k) = "(k) k, c d" g (k) = dk b) If dk # 0, then waves with different k move with 2 different speeds! dispersive. c) Water waves are dispersive. c p = c g = c

25 Significance of group velocity Add two wave modes, with slightly different wave numbers: {k, k + %k} (%k << k) and frequencies: { "(k), "(k + #k) ~ "(k) + d" } dk $ #k "(x,t) = sin{kx #$t} + sin{(k + %k)x # ($ + c g %k)t} c g

26 Significance of group velocity Add two wave modes, with slightly different wave numbers: {k, k + %k} (%k << k) and frequencies: { "(k), "(k + #k) ~ "(k) + d" } dk $ #k "(x,t) = sin{kx #$t} + sin{(k + %k)x # ($ + c g %k)t} = 2sin{(k + "k 2 )x # ($ + c g"k 2 )t}% cos{"k 2 x # c g"k 2 t} c g

27 Significance of group velocity Add two wave modes, with slightly different wave numbers: {k, k + %k} (%k << k) and frequencies: { "(k), "(k + #k) ~ "(k) + d" } dk $ #k "(x,t) = sin{kx #$t} + sin{(k + %k)x # ($ + c g %k)t} = 2sin{(k + "k 2 )x # ($ + c g"k 2 )t}% cos{"k 2 x # c g"k 2 t} c g! "(x,t) # 2sin{k(x $ c p t)}% cos{ &k 2 (x $ c g t)} fast oscillation slow modulation

28 Significance of group velocity "(x,t) # 2sin{k(x $ c p t)}% cos{ &k 2 (x $ c gt)} fast oscillation slow modulation Wave crests (fast oscillations) travel with the phase velocity The wave packet (slow modulation) travels with the group velocity (see wikipedia movie: group velocity )

29 Significance of group velocity "(x,t) # 2sin{k(x $ c p t)}% cos{ &k 2 (x $ c gt)} fast oscillation slow modulation If c p " c g, the largest wave in a wave group only dominates for a limited time! surfing is impossible for very dispersive waves. Surfing only works where c p " c g

30 Significance of group velocity Another argument that also shows that wave packets travel with the group velocity is based on Kelvin s (1887) method of stationary phase. That line of reasoning leads to concrete formulae for the long-time behaviour of a dispersive wave system. [See homework set 2.5.]
