| Summary: | accuracy of the laboratory instrument. The results of the accurately measure 3-dimensional wave surface kinematics. adjusted time series are then made to those predicted by the agreement and thus the laboratory instrument is a capable application of a laboratory instrument utilizing real-time are then made to the measured velocity time series to capabilities would produce a valuable laboratory tool. compared to those of existing theoretical methods to conducted on a series of regular and irregular waves. determine both the accuracy and feasibility of the excessive amount time required to produce velocities from flume that theory can not predict. Comparison of the instrument in its initial, 2-dimensional measurement, stage instrument. Measurement of horizontal surface velocities are irregular wave measurements are compared to predicted laboratory instrument and use it to measure horizontal means of accurately measuring wave surface kinematics. not a practical method for surface kinematic measurements. of development. The objective was to design a functioning represent any drift currents that might be present in the Results also show that considering the agreement between Results of the regular wave measurements are compared to show that the instrument and the theoretical models are in surface velocities on a series of waves. These results are the instrument to include 3-dimensional measurement the video images, the instrument, in its current form, is theory and measured values, when taking into account the There is, however, enough evidence to show that expanding This research study focused on the development and This thesis presents the design and results of the three theoretical methods. Maximum and Minimum measured values. Comparisons between measured and theoretical values velocities for each wave set are also compared to predicted velocity time series acquired from the Hybrid Wave Model, video in conjunction with image processing techniques to well established higher order wave theory to quantify the Wheeler Stretching and Linear Extrapolation.
