(41CV) Coastal Engineering Technical Aid No. 82-4 (2)
An extract from Coastal Engineering Technical Aid No. 82-4, Hand-Held Calculator Algorithms for Coastal Engineering; Report 2, USA-CoE, Coastal Engineering Research Center, CETA 82-4, November 1982, 41 pages

"  ABSTRACT
    This report provides algorithms for a number of calculator programs useful
in performing coastal engineering calculations, primarily in the area of wave
transformations and wave generation. Six programs are included for use with
HP41CV hand-held calculators which employ the Reverse Polish Notation (RPN).
These programs can be used to compute linear wave parameters, orbital veloc-
ities, breaking wave height and direction, shallow-water wave forecasts, depth-
limited breaking wave height, and wave transmission past a vertical barrier.
