Replication Data for: Computational Tool for the Characteristics of Linear Water Waves using C# Language

During the past centuries, there were many attempts to find the water wave characteristics. Knowledge of the water wave characteristics is essential for the design of coastal structures and coastal utilities in the civil and coastal engineering. In the past studies on the formation and characteristics of the regular water waves, the objective was to provide a detailed understanding of the mechanics of a wave field through examination of waves of constant height and period. The simplest wave theory for regular water waves is the first-order, small-amplitude, Airy wave theory, or linear regular wave theory. In this work, we have described the linear water waves and their parameters. We have developed a computational tool for calculating and plotting the linear water wave characteristics such as water wavelength and water wave celerity using C# language.

数个世纪以来，学界已开展诸多旨在探明水波特性的研究尝试。土木与海岸工程领域中，掌握水波特性对于海岸构筑物与海岸公用设施的设计至关重要。过往针对规则水波的形成与特性开展的研究，其核心目标均为通过分析波高与周期恒定的波浪，深入阐释波场的力学机制。针对规则水波的最简波动理论为一阶小振幅艾里波理论（Airy wave theory），亦称线性规则波理论。本研究对线性水波及其相关参数进行了系统阐述，并基于C#语言开发了一款可计算并可视化绘制线性水波特性（如波长与波速）的计算工具。
