( x,z,t) Z(z)eSubstituting Eq. (20) into Eq. (21) results in: Dekz Ee kzi ( kxt)ei(kx t)(21)(22)In order to avoid an unbounded motion in the case that d , E goes to 0: Dekz e ikx i t(23)The surface elevation for a two-dimensional, periodic, progressive wave is:(x,t) Acos(kx t) Aei ( kxt)Note this thesis assumes a right-running incident wave. The parameter A is the amplitude ofthe wave, i.e., half the wave height, H. The parameter k denotes the wave number, ornumber of waves per unit wavelength, L:k2L (25)The parameter ω denotes the angular frequency, or the number of waves per unit period, T: 2 (26)TCombining Eq. (8) and Eq. (24) at z=0, x = 0, and t=0; results in: A 1 (27)g t(24)Taking the time derivative of Eq. (23) at z=0, x=0, and t=0 results in: Dit(28)Combining Eq. (27) and Eq. (28) results in:D Agi (29)The two-dimensional real part of the complex incident wave potential, , is:I40
