A simple method for calculating the velocity field beneath irregular waves / M. Donelan, F. Anctil and J. Doering. : En13-5/91-111E-PDF

"The accurate prediction of wave-induced velocities is required for the Safe engineering design of structures subjected to wave action, This report presents a new theoretically consistent method of predicting they velocity field beneath an irregular wavetrain. A laboratory data set which provides unique detailed measurements of the velocities near the surface in wave crests, is used to demonstrate the relative accuracy of this new method of prediction. The results show the new method provides more accurate predictions than "previously employed prediction methods. This information could help improve designs, thereby reducing the risk of structural failure that might pose an environmental danger"--Management perspective.
