Water Waves - Relating Modern Theory to Advanced Engineering Applications

Zusatztext 'This book is well written and can be easily read. It is self-contained in that all of the mathematical tools and equations the reader needs can be found in the book. It is of interest to a wide audience in the science community: mathematicians, physicists, and engineers. Any reader would have to refer to numerous other book s to get all the information found here... I recommend this book to anyone who wishes to learn more about water waves and who has some fluid mechanics and applied mathematics background. It is a valuable book to have in one's library if one is interested in wave phenomena...' Anne C. Morlet, SIAM Review, Vol. 39 No. 1, March 1997 Zusammenfassung Provides a survey of the classical basic theory of water waves and then considers recent applications in hydraulic and offshore engineering. This text covers topics including fundamental equations of motion of fluids; solution techniques of partial differential equations; and water waves.
