CHAPTER 3. THEORY AND GOVERNING EQUATIONS3.1 Governing Equation and Boundary ConditionsLinear potential theory is applied in this study. The following derivation of the incident wavepotential assumes a two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system (x, z) with a vertical z-axispositive in the upward direction. The unit normal vector, n , is positive leaving the fluid. Thestill water level is set at z=0. Figure 3.1 depicts the problem. Assumptions made with linearpotential theory as used here are as follows:1. H/d
