Theory and applications of ocean surface waves [electronic resource] / Chiang C. Mei, Michael Stiassnie, Dick K.-P. Yue. - [Expanded ed.]. - Singapore : World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd., ©2005. - 1 online resource (2 v. (1136 p.)) : ill. - Advanced series on ocean engineering ; v. 23 . - Advanced series on ocean engineering ; v. 23. .
Previous ed. published as: The applied dynamics of ocean surface waves / Chiang C. Mei. Chichester : Wiley, 1983.
Includes bibliographical references and indexes.
Part 1: Linear Aspects -- part 2: Nonlinear Aspects.
"This book is an expanded version of The Applied Dynamics of Ocean Surface Waves. It presents theoretical topics on ocean wave dynamics, including basic principles and applications in coastal and offshore engineering as well as coastal oceanography. Advanced analytical and numerical techniques are applied, such as singular perturbations. In this expanded version, three chapters on recent developments have been added. The first is on multiple scattering by periodic or random bathymetry. The second is on Zakharov's theory of nonlinear wave fields with broad spectra. The third is an extensive discussion of powerful numerical techniques for highly nonlinear waves. Other new topics include infragravity waves, upstream solitons, Venice storm gates, etc. In addition, there are many new exercises. Theory and Applications of Ocean Surface Waves will be invaluable for graduate students and researchers in coastal and ocean engineering, geophysical fluid dynamicists interested in water waves, and theoretical scientists and applied mathematicians wishing to develop new techniques for challenging problems or to apply techniques existing elsewhere."--Publisher's website.
