Inpractice, the motions obtained in most casesthrough use of theFourier integral technique, for example,are the result of superposition of waves whose frequencies vary from zero to infinity andwhose amplitudes also vary widely. However, as we shall see inChapter 6, it happens very frequently that the motion at certainplaces and times is approximated with good accuracy by integralsof the type given in (3.4.4) with e arbitrarily small. (This is, indeed,the sense of the principle of stationary phase, to be treated in Chapter 6.) In such cases, then, groups ofcussion aboveiswaves doexistand thedis-pertinent.In our problems the relation between wave speed and wave lengthis given by (3.2.2) and consequently the velocity U of a group isreadily found, from (3.4.3), to be2Weobserve that the group velocity has the same value as was givenpropagation of energywave length as thoseof the group.
In other words, the rate at which energy is propagatedis given by the group velocity and not the phase velocity. This isoften considered as the salient fact with respect to the notion ofgroup velocity. As indicated already in the preceding section, thein the preceding section for the average rate ofin a uniform train of waves having the sameauthor does not share this view, butfeels rather thatthe kinematicconcept of group velocity is of primary significance, while the notionof velocity of propagation of energy might better be discarded. Ittrue that the two velocities, in spite of the fact that one is derivedfrom dynamics while the other is of purely kinematic origin, turnout to be the same not only in this case, but in many others aswell* but it is also true that they are not always the same forexample, the two velocities are not the same if there is dissipationof energy in the medium. In addition, we have seen in the precedingsection that the notion of velocity of energy can be derived when noisAgeneral analysis of the reason for this has been givenby Broer[B.I 8].54WATER WAVESwave group exists at all we in fact derived this velocity for the caseof a wave having but one harmonic component.In Chapter 6 we shall have occasion to see how illuminating thekinematic concept of a group and its velocity can be in interpretingand understanding the complicated unsteady wave motions whicharise when local disturbances propagate into still water.CHAPTER4Waves Maintained by Simple Harmonic Surface Pressurein4.1.Water of Uniform Depth* ForeedOscillationsIntroductionIn our previous discussions we have considered always that thepressure at the free surface was constant (usually zero) in both spaceand time.
In other words, only the free oscillations were treated andthe problems were, correspondingly, linear and homogeneous bounary value problems. Here we wish to consider two problems in whichthe surface pressure p is simple harmonic in the time and the resultingmotions are thus forced oscillations; the problems then also have anonhomogeneous boundary condition. In the first such problem weassume that the motion is two-dimensional and that the surface pressure is a periodic function of the space coordinate x over the entire#-axis; in the second problem the surface pressure is assumed to bezero except over a segment of finite length of the #-axis. In theseproblems the depth of the water is assumed to be everywhere infinite,but the corresponding problems in water of constant finite depthcan be, and have been, solved by much the same methods.The formulation of the first two problems is as follows.
