Dynamics of Water Surface Flows and Waves

This graduate level textbook and reference takes a theoretical and analytical approach to theoretical surface and wave dynamics over wide ranging lengths and time-scales, from fundamental fluid dynamics, and the dynamics of free-surfaces and interfaces with vortices, to flow theory applications, and breaking wave dynamics.
