A note on particle trajectories in the highest wave
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 April 2006
Abstract
The series expansion procedure of Michel (1893) is used to calculate the highest wave solution and corresponding particle trajectories. The results are compared with those obtained by Longuet-Higgins (1979) using the ‘hexagon’ approximation for the highest deep-water wave. Reasonable agreement is found between the two sets of results.
