Abstract

In this study, a simple and explicit solution to the wave dispersion equation is derived based on Guo's logarithmic matching. The proposed solution has a maximum relative error of 0.75% for any water depth that is sufficient for practical calculation. It can also be considered the first approximation for an iteration method if more accuracy is required. It may be useful under practical conditions or for inclusion in wave computer models.
