Prediction of wind wave characteristics in large canals

Influence of Wind Waves on the Flow in Flowing Reservoirs

“…Additional factors that determine the generation of wind waves at large watercourses (flowing reservoirs, large rivers, and large canals) in comparison to the open sea are the current and the limited acceleration by the coasts. The combined effect of both factors was studied in [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. We will review the corresponding theory that underlies the methodology for calculating the formation of wind waves on watercourses.…”
