Within a train of waves the movement of energy is usually slower than that of the waves. As such is you study a short train of waves they will develop at the back of the group, travel forward through the group and disappear at the front of the group.

[DIAGRAM]

The definition of group velocity is:

In deep water, where \inline  \omega^2=gk, group velocity is merely While in shallow water the form is a little more complicated, i.e.

Using this second form, we can plot as an example the relationship between Cg and wave-number, k :
There is an error with your graph parameters for group_celerity_k with options k=0:4 depth=1:10:4

Error Message:Function group_celerity_k failed. Ensure that: Invalid C++

Example 1

#include <stdio.h>
#include <codecogs/engineering/waves/group_celerity.h>
using namespace Engineering::Waves;
 
int main()
{
  printf("   k         Cg ");
  for(double k=0.01; k<1;k+=0.1)
  {
    printf("\n %.6lf", k);
    double w=group_celerity_k(k,2);
    printf("  %.3lf", w);
  }
}
Output:
k         Cg
??

Parameters

kwave-number defines as (\inline  2 \pi/m). [rad/m]
depththe depth of the water to mean sea level. A value of zero or less corresponds to deep water. [m]
gravityacceleration due to gravity (default 9.8066 m/s2). [m/s2]

Returns

wave-frequency (\inline  2 \pi/s). [rad/s]
