Deep-Water Wave Speed & Period implementation

Binding contract

This record describes what an executable surface must bind and validate. It does not claim that a public calculator, package, or production route is deployed.

Computation or source lookup only

Input and validation requirements

The literal plain-arithmetic implementation overflows at a period of 1e308 s even though the phase-speed expression can be algebraically rearranged to produce a finite value; it also lacks a supplied non-deep-water branch and does not define handling for negative periods.

Required corrections

No binding erratum is attached to this unique-name record. Implementers must still preserve the declared units, domain, and failure behavior.

Inspectable interface fixture

The sample below is evidence for interface and validation tests, not a production implementation.
