General Information
71% of the Earth surface is covered by Oceans
Major Oceans
1. Pacific Ocean (46%)
2. Atlantic Ocean (23%)
3. Indian Ocean (20%)
4. Remaining Oceans (11%)

Average Ocean Depth is 3800 m
Maximum Depth is 11,524 m
Ocean Floor

Physical Properties of Ocean Water

Primary sea water elements
1. Chlorine (55%)
2. Sodium (30.6)
3. Sulfate (7.7%)
4. Sodium (30.6)
5. Magnesium (3.7%)
6. Potassium (1.1%)
Salinity: amount (grams) of dissolved solid
materials (salts) in grams contained in a
kilogram seawater (ppt). e.g. Sea Water 35 ppt
Ocean Currents
Geostrophic Current (pressure gradients &
Coriolis force)
Ekman Current (Surface wind friction force &
Coriolis force)
Tides

1. Diurnal tide (once in a tidal day)
2. Semi-diurnal tide (twice in a tidal day)
3. Mixed tide (tidal day 24.84 hr)

Tidal day: rotation of the Earth with respect to
the Moon, ~24.84 hr

Fields Related to Ocean Wave

Ocean Engineering: Ship, water borne transport,
offshore structures (fixed and
floating platforms).

Navy: Military activity, amphibious operation,
WW II Allies landing.

Coastal Engineering: Harbor and ports, dredging, coastal
structures,
beach erosion, sediment transport.

Oceanography: Ocean environment, atmosphere,
fishing, oil spilling, mixing, pollutant
transport.

Environmental Eng.: Capping contaminated dredged
material.
Diffusion and dispersion of toxic
material in ocean and costal water.

Regular and Irregular Waves

Ocean waves are almost always irregular and often
directional (short-crested).

Irregular waves can be viewed as the superposition of a
number of regular waves.

Regular waves have the same frequency, wavelength and
amplitude (height).

Ocean Wave Spectra: P-M & JONSWAP Types

Actual Versus Design Seas
Wave Pressure and Kinematics
Linear Wave Theory: Simple, good approximation for
70-80 % engineering applications.

Nonlinear Wave Theory: Complicated, necessary for about
20-30 % engineering applications.

Both results are based on the assumption of non-viscous
flow.

Examples, see animations.
