Waves and fractalsGilliland, Crystal L. 05 December 1991 (has links)
The goal of this research project is to determine the fractal nature, if any, which
surface water waves exhibit when viewed on a microscopic scale. Due to the
relatively recent development of this area of mathematics, a brief introduction to the
study of fractal geometry, as well as several examples of fractals, are included in
this paper. From that point, this paper addresses the specific situation of a surface
wave as it nears the breaking point and attempts to detect the fractal structure of a
wave at this given point when viewed on a microscopic scale. This is done from
both a physical standpoint based on observations at the Hinsdale Wave Facility at
Oregon State University and at Cape Perpetua, Oregon on the Pacific Coast, and
from a theoretical standpoint based on a spring model. / Graduation date: 1992
