Airy wave theory is a mathematical model used to describe the propagation of surface waves on deep water. Developed by the British mathematician and astronomer George Biddell Airy in the 19th century, it provides a framework for understanding wave properties such as amplitude, wavelength, phase velocity, and wave energy.
