The linearized wave theory is utilized throughout. A discrete wave amplitude and frequency is assumed for each generator, but no two generators necessarily put out the same wave. The theory, extended to several finite length generators each considered as a source of a periodic function, will be presented in future reports now under preparation. Calculations for circular basins will also be reported.reportsengCopyright and other restrictions may apply. User is responsible for compliance with all applicable laws.
