• Significant wave height — In physical oceanography, significant wave height, also known as SWH, or H s , is the average wave height (trough to crest) of the one third largest waves. A well developed significant wave is approximately equal to H m0 , defined as four times… …   Wikipedia

• significant wave height — The average height of the third of waves observed during a given period of time. Significant wave height is used for evaluating the impact of waves and breakers on watercraft in the open sea and surf zones. See also surf zone …   Military dictionary

• Wave soldering — is a large scale soldering process by which electronic components are soldered to a printed circuit board (PCB) to form an electronic assembly. The name is derived from the use of waves of molten solder to attach metal components to the PCB. The… …   Wikipedia

• Wave height — In fluid dynamics, the wave height of a surface wave denotes the difference between the elevations of a crest and a neighbouring trough.Kinsman (1984) p. 38.] Wave height is a term used by mariners, as well as in coastal, ocean engineering and… …   Wikipedia

• Wave making resistance — is a form of drag that affects surface watercraft, such as boats and ships, and reflects the energy required to push the water out of the way of the hull. This energy goes into creating the wake.PhysicsFor small displacement hulls, such as… …   Wikipedia

• Wave field synthesis — (WFS) is a spatial audio rendering technique, characterized by creation of virtual acoustic environments. It produces artificial wave fronts synthesized by a large number of individually driven speakers. Such wave fronts seem to originate from a… …   Wikipedia

• Wave Action Surf Magazine — is a publication about surfing. Wave Action Magazine began in a small apartment in Huntington Beach, California through the vision of Mike Freihofer and Pete Rocky. Both surfers had been working at a local Southern California Surf Magazine called …   Wikipedia

• 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 packet — In physics, a wave packet is an envelope or packet containing an arbitrary number of wave forms. In quantum mechanics the wave packet is ascribed a special significance: it is interpreted to be a probability wave describing the probability that a …   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
