Abstract

The probability density function and the first three statistical moments of velocity, acceleration and pressure of a gravity wave field, for points in the vicinity of still water level, are obtained taking into consideration the effects of free surface fluctuation and using the second-order Stokes wave model. These results reduce to those obtained previously by Tung using linear wave theory.
