[math]\displaystyle{ \phi^{\mathrm{D}} }[/math] satisfies the Sommerfeld Radiation Condition

[math]\displaystyle{ \frac{\partial}{\partial x} \left(\phi^{\mathrm{D}}-\phi^{\rm I} \right) \pm k_0\left( \phi^{\mathrm{D}}-\phi^{\rm I}\right) = 0 ,\,\,\mathrm{as} \,\,x\rightarrow\infty. }[/math]

[math]\displaystyle{ \phi^{\mathrm{I}}\, }[/math] is a plane wave travelling in the [math]\displaystyle{ x }[/math] direction,

[math]\displaystyle{ \phi^{\mathrm{I}}(x,z)=A \phi_0(z) e^{\mathrm{i} k x} \, }[/math]

where [math]\displaystyle{ A }[/math] is the wave amplitude (in potential) [math]\displaystyle{ \mathrm{i} k }[/math] is the positive imaginary solution of the Dispersion Relation for a Free Surface (note we are assuming that the time dependence is of the form [math]\displaystyle{ \exp(-\mathrm{i}\omega t) }[/math]) and

[math]\displaystyle{ \phi_0(z) =\frac{\cosh k(z+h)}{\cosh k h} }[/math]
