A trochoidal wave refers to a type of wave profile that is characterized by its trochoidal shape, which is derived from the path traced by a point on the rim of a circular wheel as it rolls along a flat surface. In the context of fluid dynamics or wave theory, trochoidal waves are often used to describe the shape of certain types of water waves, particularly those that have a more complex form than the simple sinusoidal waves commonly encountered.
