WAVE MOTION

Domain	Definition
Aerospace	The oscillatory motion of the particles of a medium caused by the passage of a wave, produced by forces external to the medium, but propagated through the medium by internal forces. Wave motion per se involves no net translation of the medium.Various types of oscillation are found in natural wave motions. Among the simplest are the linear oscillation parallel to the direction of propagation of a longitudinal wave, the linear oscillation perpendicular to the direction of propagation of a transverse wave, and the orbital motion produced by the passage of a progressive gravity wave.

Industry	A mechanical device used during the build-up of a warp on a mill or swift to ensure the inclusion of extra length of any yarn that has a substantially lower extensibility than the yarn in the body of the warp. This extra length is needed to prevent the yarn from breaking('cracking')during finishing. Source: European Union. (references)

	Plate I. Aime apparatus for the study of oceanic wave motion at depth described by Georges Aime in 1845. Aime should be considered as the predecessor of modern oceanography as he designed and created many innovative oceanographic measuring and analysis instruments that were models for those who followed. He was a professor at the University of Algiers. Credit: Sailing for Science - the NOAA Fleet Then and Now.		Figure 5. An Aime tide gauge. Aime's tidal studies began at the port of Algiers in 1838. Aime designed a prismatic lead tube supported by wood and provided with a filtering mechanism at its base that attenuated wave motion. A wood float connected to a counterweight by a silk cord, indicated the level of the sea on a reverse graduated scale which was calibrated on a calm day.
