Summary

Description
English: Validity of several theories for periodic water waves, according to Le Méhauté (1976). The light-blue area is the range of validity of cnoidal wave theory; light-yellow for Airy wave theory; and the dashed blue lines demarcate the required order of Stokes' wave theory. The light-gray shading gives the range extension by numerical approximations using fifth-order stream-function theory, for high waves (H > ¼ Hbreaking).
