Welcome to Wikiwaves!

Wikiwaves is a water waves wiki devoted to the collective creation of technical content for practicing scientists. Please sign up, browse around the site, click on the edit links, and contribute something! The site is nominally centered around water waves, at the moment the focus in on linear water wave theory, especially as applied to hydroelasticity but we welcome any content. If you are new to the increasingly popular wiki way, you may want to visit Wikipedia to see a more general effort in action.
