Question 1

Given a wave tank with water height variations, derive the potential flow using boundary conditions based on measured velocity at inlet and outlet.

💡 Hint: Define the depths and velocities properly before substituting them into the Laplace equation.

Question 2

How would the equations change if the flow is no longer irrotational? Provide new forms for the velocity potentials.

💡 Hint: Consider factors like rotational flow and how they relate to velocity potentials.
