Moderate period and depth — all parameters given, straightforward dispersion solve
Linear Wave Theory
Solves the linear wave dispersion relation using Newton-Raphson iteration to compute wavelength, phase celerity, and group velocity for monochromatic waves. Also derives wave steepness and relative depth (d/L) for water depth classification. Follows the USACE Coastal Engineering Manual Part II Chapter 1 formulation applicable across deep, intermediate, and shallow water regimes.
