List of top Fluid Mechanics and Marine Hydrodynamics Questions on Wave Motion

An ocean wave is propagating from deep to shallow water. The wave is approaching the coast at \( 45^\circ \) counterclockwise from the shore normal with an initial phase speed of \( 12.5 \, {m/s} \). After entering the shallow water, the wave direction becomes \( 30^\circ \) counterclockwise from the shore normal. The phase speed of the wave at the shallow water is ________ m/s (rounded off to one decimal place).
