If we integrate from z = -D to z = η, we obtain the kinetic and potential energy and
energy flux per unit horizontal area:

Rate of change = horizontal divergence of wave energy flux
Bar denotes the quantities per unit horizontal area
Notice:
1) In the expression for the integrated potential density:
12
ρg(η2 − D2) we have neglected the term proportional to D2 as an irrelevant
∂D2constant and
∂t= 0.
2) In the integral for the kinetic energy we can integrate only to z = 0. In fact we are
calculating energy to second order in the wave amplitude. To do this, for PE, we
must integrate to η to obtain η2(≡ a2). In the KE, the integral to η would include
a correction of 0(u2η)≡o(a3), hence negligible. Let us now consider specifically
the surface gravity wave field in one horizontal dimension (x,z,t):
η = a cos(kx − ωt) ω2 = gk tanh(kD)
aw φ =k sinh(kD)
cosh k(z + D)cos(kx − ωt)
ρω2a p = −ρgz +k sinh(kD)
cosh k(z + D)cos(kx − ωt)
aω u =sinh(kD)
cosh k(z + D)cos(kx − ωt)
aω w =sinh(kD)
sinh k(z + D)sin(kx − ωt)

Thus the period average of the energy equation is:
∂∂t
< E > +∇H •[
c g < E >] = 0
Thus we have the important result that the energy in the wave propagates with the group
velocity. If the medium is homogeneous,
c g =∂ω∂
k
(|
k |) only and we can write
∂∂t
< E > +
c g • ∇H < E >= 0
For an observer moving horizontally with the group velocity the energy averaged over
one phase of the wave is constant.
Dispersion relationship for waves moving on a current
Suppose I have a wave encountering a current U (x,y), the dispersion relationship is
modified by the Doppler shift becoming
σ = k (x,y)• U (x,y)+ω where ω = gk tanh(1k))D is the intrinsic frequency
Consider in fact the 1-D example
only. Then σU = U(x) = kU+ω.
