The Deformation of Steep Surface Waves on Water. I. A Numerical Method of Computation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a method for following the time-history of space-periodic irrotational surface waves, where the only independent variables are the coordinates and velocity potential of marked particles at the free surface at each time step an integral equation is solved for the new normal component of velocity.
