What does $x^{\prime}$ mean in a Green’s function? — a linear algebra and operator view

In a Green's function \(G(x,x')\), the primed variable \(x'\) marks the source point — the location of a unit impulse — while \(x\) is the field point where the response is…

DFT Method Main

The math is sound. The method is not. We consider the governing equations for water waves in the context of an inviscid fluid of infinite depth. The fundamental system of…

Surface Waves Generated by A Travelling Pressure Point

We study the free-surface response to a moving pressure point over finite depth using 2D Fourier transforms, contour deformation, and a radiation condition. By analysing poles…

Ray Geometry, and Wave Action in Uniform Currents

We summarize the ray-theoretic description of Kelvin ship waves in deep and finite depth, deriving the relationship between wavevector and wake angle, the Kelvin wedge, and the…

Phase Geometry of Ship Waves: Deriving $p=a \cos ^2 \theta$

We derive the ship-wave crest relation \(p=a \cos ^2 \theta\) in deep water from the Doppler-shifted dispersion relation and stationary-phase arguments, interpret \(a\) as an inte…

One Dimension Ship Wave With Surface Tension

The article develops a mathematical model for one-dimensional gravity-capillary ship waves, using residue theory to analyze wave components and show how surface tension and wave…

Relations among Rays, Group Velocity, Phase Velocity, and the Wave Number Vector in Water Waves

In dispersive water waves (e.g., surface gravity waves on deep or shallow water), several concepts describe how waves travel, how energy moves, and how the wave patterns evolve.…

Wave Patterns from Ray Theory: Centered Waves, Wake Angles, and Phase Geometry

We collect the ray-theoretic relations for wave patterns generated by a point source, derive the slope of characteristics and their connection to the group-velocity symbol…

Hankel Transform of the Bi-Laplacian and an Axisymmetric Free-Surface Problem

We show how the zeroth-order Hankel transform diagonalises the radial bi-Laplacian, clarify the sign convention \(\nabla^4 \leftrightarrow k^4\), and then apply the same transform…
