The discussion focuses on surface waves in a fluid in three dimensions, specifically under the "thin wave" approximation that leads to the Kadomtsev-Petviashvilli equation. The user seeks information about the equations applicable when the x and y dimensions are of the same scale. There is a request for the specific name of these equations. Participants are encouraged to share insights or references related to this topic. The conversation emphasizes the need for clarity on equations governing surface waves in equal dimensional scales.

TL;DR: Trying to get the name of an equation for free surface flow.

When considering surface waves in a fluid in 3D, there are a number of assumptions the easiest one is to take the "thin wave" approximation which yields a Kadomtsev-Petviashvilli equation. I'm looking for the name of the equation(or set of equations) for when the x and y are of the same scale. Does anyone know what it's called?

Thread 'Why higher speeds need more power if backward force is the same?'

Power = Force v Speed Power of my horse = 104kgx9.81m/s^2 x 0.732m/s = 1HP =746W Force/tension in rope stay the same if horse run at 0.73m/s or at 15m/s, so why then horse need to be more powerfull to pull at higher speed even if backward force at him(rope tension) stay the same? I understand that if I increase weight, it is hrader for horse to pull at higher speed because now is backward force increased, but don't understand why is harder to pull at higher speed if weight(backward force)...
