Water Waves Model

From GeoMod

Jump to: navigation, search

This model was created to show the motion of water particles at the surface of a wave. It is based on the approximation of waves as a trocoid, so particles on the surface make elliptical or circular orbits.

You can:

  • Change the degree of wave development.
  • Change the wavelengths of the waves.

See also the vpython version of this model.
