Wave power — refers to the energy of ocean surface waves and the capture of that energy to do useful work including electricity generation, desalination, and the pumping of water (into reservoirs). Wave power is a form of renewable energy. Though often co… … Wikipedia
wave — waveless, adj. wavelessly, adv. wavingly, adv. wavelike, adj. /wayv/, n., v., waved, waving. n. 1. a disturbance on the surface of a liquid body, as the sea or a lake, in the form of a moving ridge or swell. 2. any surging or progressing movement … Universalium
Wave — A wave is a disturbance that propagates through space and time, usually with transference of energy. While a mechanical wave exists in a medium (which on deformation is capable of producing elastic restoring forces), waves of electromagnetic… … Wikipedia

Wave base — The wave base is the maximum depth at which a water wave s passage causes significant water motion. For water depths larger than the wave base, bottom sediments are no longer stirred by the wave motion above. In deep water, the water particles… … Wikipedia

Wave shoaling — In fluid dynamics, wave shoaling is the phenomenon that surface waves on a water layer of decreasing depth change their wave height (which is about twice the amplitude). It is caused by the fact that the group velocity, which is also the wave… … Wikipedia
