Wave flume (3D)

About this app

Waves on a model: a wave maker generates waves that travel over a rising bottom toward the beach. Via the dispersion relation ω²=gk·tanh(kh) they grow shorter, slower and higher in shallow water (shoaling) — until they break (surf). Wave period, amplitude and water depth adjustable.
