Stokes V Wave Computations in Deep Water

Abstract
Stokes fifth-order wave theory is widely used in engineering practice to calculate water particle kinematics for the purpose of determining hydrodynamic forces on ocean structures. As shown by Dean, Stokes fifth-order wave theory is appropriate for engineering use primarily in deep water where depth exceeds half the wavelength.In this note, equations for Stokes fifth-order wave theory, as given by Chappelear, are summarized to calculate water particle kinematics, it is necessary to evaluate three parameters by solving simultaneously three nonlinear equations.
