Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
If you were to design a coastal structure, how would the knowledge of circular particle motion in deep water influence your design?
💡 Hint: Consider the interaction of waves and structures.
Experimental waves show particle trajectories becoming elliptical when moved from deep to shallow water; derive the changes in displacement expressions.
💡 Hint: Focus on parameters changing with water depth.
