In fluid dynamics, a cnoidal wave is a nonlinear[disambiguation needed] and exact periodic wave solution of the Korteweg–de Vries equation. These solutions...

cnoidal wave theory often provides better periodic-wave approximations. While, in the strict sense, Stokes wave refers to progressive periodic waves of...
