Various external forces influences water movements in an homogenous sea. The topographic
equations governing the topographic waves in an homogenous sea have been elaborated in this study. The
computational analysis pertinent to delineating the topographic waves in the homogenous sea has been
emphasized. The bottom slope and friction factor determines the variation trend of the resultant ocean velocity
and the surface ocean depth and generated results for this have been presented in this study. Interestingly, a
cubic polynomial fit expression has been made available expressing the relationship between the ocean wave
velocity and the ocean depth.
Key words: Bottom slope, bottom friction factor, geostrophic, homogenous ocean, topographic waves, ,
