This section contains information on:
•Water Surface Elevation discusses how the water surface elevation is found at any point in the wave field.
•Water Particle Velocities and Accelerations provides details on how these terms are defined for any point in the wave field.
•Spectrum Discretisation discusses the available methods for discretising a wave spectrum into its component harmonics.
•Random Seed discusses the assignment of random phase angles to component harmonics of a wave spectrum.
•Wave Energy Spreading discusses how wave energy is distributed between different directions in a multi-directional random sea.
•Wave Kinematics discusses the modifications to linear Airy wave theory for waves of finite amplitude.
•Equivalent Regular Waves describes a facility to model a random sea as an equivalent regular wave.
•Selected Frequencies describes a frequency domain option to request that specific frequencies be included in the range of solution harmonics.
