Complexity
The solution of the complete wave equation is not possible without approximations.
Different wave theories exist with different mathematical approximations.
In deep water, the phase speed depends on wave length: Longer waves travel faster.
In shallow water, the phase speed is independent of the wave; it depends only on
the depth of the water.

Wave theories
AIRY - Small amplitude Airy wave without modifications (default).
WHEELER - Small amplitude wave with Wheeler empirical modification of
depth decay function.
STOKES - Stokes fifth order wave.
STREAMFUNCTION - Stream function wave.
RANDOM - Random (but repeatable) combination of linear Airy wave
components.
SHELLNEWWAVE - Shell new wave.
CONSTRAINED - Constrained new wave.
DIFFRACTED - Diffracted wave (using imported hydrodynamic
data)
