What are the Main Theories for Steady Waves?

There are two main theories for steady waves – Stokes theory, most suitable for waves which are not very long relative to the water depth; and Cnoidal theory, suitable for the other limit where the waves are much longer than the depth. In addition there is one important numerical method – the Fourier approximation method which solves the problem accurately, and is now widely used in ocean and coastal engineering.
