Model equations

The wave height is modelled by the equation:

\[ \eta = \frac{\lambda}{k} \cos (k x -\omega t + \phi) + \frac{(\lambda^2 B_{22} + \lambda^4 B_{24})}{\lambda} \cos\left(2(k x - \omega t + \phi)\right) + \frac{(\lambda^3 B_{33} + \lambda^5 B_{35})}{\lambda} \cos\left(3(k x - \omega t + \phi)\right) + \frac{(\lambda^4 B_{44})}{\lambda} \cos\left(4(k x - \omega t + \phi)\right) + \frac{(\lambda^5 B_{55})}{\lambda} \cos\left(5(k x - \omega t + \phi)\right) \]

where:

\( \lambda \)	=	first order wave amplitude
\( k \)	=	wave number
\( \omega \)	=	angular frequency
\( \phi \)	=	phase shift
\( B_{xx} \)	=	coefficients in the fifth order solution
\( t \)	=	time
