Specifies the wave theory by which to model any wave effects. The available theories are:

Stream Function

Dean's stream function theory.

Stream Function, Modified

Dean's stream function theory modified to include a shear current. This shear current is assumed to vary linearly from the surface speed to the bottom speed. Therefore, this option only works with the Linear current profile.

STOKE'S 5th

Stoke's 5th order wave theory.

STOKE'S 5th, Modified

Stoke's 5th order wave theory modified to address particle data above the mean sea level.

AIRY

Basic linear wave theory.

AIRY, Modified

Basic linear wave theory modified to address particle data above the mean sea level.
