Wind-wave amplification mechanisms: possible models for steep wave events in finite depth
We extend the Miles mechanism of wind-wave generation to finite depth. A β-Miles linear growth rate depending on the depth and wind velocity is derived and allows the study of linear growth rates of surface waves from weak to moderate winds in finite depth <i>h</i>. The evolution...
