Surface wavepackets subject to an abrupt depth change. Part 1. Second-order theory

This paper develops second-order theory for narrow-banded surface gravity wavepackets experiencing a sudden depth transition based on a Stokes and multiple-scales expansion. As a wavepacket travels over a sudden depth transition, additional wavepackets are generated that propagate freely obeying the...
