RESPONSE OPERATORS FOR WATER WAVE PARTICLE VELOCITY AND ACCELERATION,
Abstract
Response operators in the form of Fourier series are presented for horizontal component of water wave particle velocity and acceleration at eleva tions (z): 35.0 ft, 26.2 ft, 17.4 ft, 8.7 ft, -0.6 ft, -14.8 ft, -41.1 ft, and -74.5 ft MWL in water 97.5 feet deep. Procedures developed by Reid (1958, Proc. 6th Conf. Coastal Eng.) were used. It was found that the igitizing (integra tion) interval (delta t) giving adequate fit with theory was different for velocity as compared to acceleration. A value of delta t 0.1 second was used for all velocity computations and a value of delta t 1.0 second was used for all acceleration computations. The smallest number of Fourier coefficients (M) necessary to give an adequate fit to the theoretical response opera tors varied considerably, ranging from M 300 for z 35.0 (velocity) to M 16 for z -74.5 (acceleration).
