For the 1st order, still water level (SWL) is defined as the level midway
between wave crest and trough. But for higher order wave theories a rise of
SWL from the origin may be expected.
Stokes Wave Theory
Mathematically complex as it takes into account the effects of wave height &
velocity.
Higher order Stokes approximations can better describe the finite amplitude
waves , the kinematics and pressure prediction.
The 5th-order Stokes finite-amplitude wave theory is widely used in practical
application both in deep- and shallow-water wave studies.
