Steep_deep_water_wave.ogv


Summary

Description
English: Steep deep water waves, with a wave length of about twice the water depth. The wave height is 90% of the maximum wave height. Description of the animation : The white dots are fluid particles, also followed in time. In the case shown here, the mean Eulerian horizontal velocity below the wave trough is zero.
Deutsch: Steile Tiefwasserwellen mit einer Wellenlänge gleich der doppelten Wassertiefe. Die Wellenhöhe ist 90 Prozent der maximum Höhe.
Beschreibung der Animation:
Die weißen Punkte sind gleichzeitig bewegte Flüssigkeitsteilchen. Im gezeigten Fall ist die mittlere horizontale Euler-Geschwindigkeit unter dem Wellental Null.
