What is Higher-Order Stokes Theory Explained about?

1) Higher-order Stokes theory adds additional terms to linear wave theory to better model real waves, which are complex rather than sinusoidal. This allows modeling of effects like Stokes drift. 2) Stokes drift is a net water particle velocity in the direction of wave propagation caused by asymmetry in the orbital motions of higher-order waves. 3) The Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation describes nonlinear and dispersive long waves and their properties like celerity and dispersion relations.
