{{short description|A surface gravity wave fixed by refraction against a rigid boundary, often a shoaling beach}}In fluid dynamics, an edge wave is a surface gravity wave fixed by refraction against a rigid boundary, often a shoaling beach. Progressive edge waves travel along this boundary, varying sinusoidally along it and diminishing exponentially in the offshore direction.[1] References 1. ^{{Citation | last = Lamb | first = Horace | authorlink = Horace Lamb | title = Hydrodynamics | publisher = Cambridge University Press | location = Cambridge | date = 1932 | page = 446 | isbn = 0-521-45868-4 }}
