The magnitude of the horizontal component of the velocity will have its minimum and
maximum values at this value of α and at α+ π/2. The value of |v| is calculated at both of
these angles; the larger value is the maximum velocity over all times.
The pressure is obtained from the linear form of the Bernoulli equation;
Φ P
+ + gz = constant
(133)
t ρ
Note that the pressures associated with velocities (dynamic head, v2) are ignored in this
linear form. The expression for Φ in Equation 125 is substituted into this expression and
terms are rearranged to obtain
(

P = - ρgz + ρgℜ ηe - iωt Z + constant

The maximum pressure over a wave cycle occurs when the term ℜ ( ηe- iωt ) is equal to
$
H/2. The constant is chosen such that the hydrostatic pressure is equal to zero at z=0;
thus
