Goodmorning,
For my thesis i'm analyzing wave data of flume tests. But it seems that there is some sort of 'long wave' present in the flume. Now i am trying to filter this long wave out of my data but i can't find a decent way to to this.
I already tried to filter my data using the Polyfit and polyval functions, this did filter the long wave out of the signal. But in my opinion this was more or less tweaking the function to get a good result. Secondly i do not want to use a moving avarage because this eliminates data. My supervisor told me to try the Filtfilt option. But now i am stuck wondering how to filter my signal with use of this FiltFilt.
See the figure below, there seems to be some longer wave present which i want to filter out for both the water level elevation and velocity. I was wondering if this is even possible or that my 'timeframe' is to short.
