Abstract
The authors describe a method for reproducing pre-specified water surface profiles on a flume, based on a method presented by H. Graveson et al. (1974). Modifications have been introduced to allow for deep waters and to take into account the distance of wave gages from the paddle. The method has been implemented as a module of a software package for sea wave analysis and simulation
