WATER WAVE PROPAGATION OVER UNEVEN BOTTOMS
(In 2 Parts)
by Maarten W Dingemans (Delft Hydraulics, The Netherlands)
The primary objective of this book is to provide a review of techniques available for the problems of wave propagation in regions with uneven beds as they are encountered in coastal areas. The view taken is that the techniques should be useful for application in advisory practice. However, effort is put into a precise definition of the underlying physical principles, so that the validity of the methods used can be evaluated. Both linear and nonlinear wave propagation techniques are discussed. Because of its length, the book comes in two parts: Part 1 covers primarily linear wave propagation, and Part 2 covers nonlinear wave propagation.
Contents:
- Basic Equations
- Wave Propagation Formulation
- The
Mild-Slope Equation
- Practical Aspects of Linear Wave Propagation Models
- Boussinesq-Type Models for Uneven Bottoms
- KdV-Type Models
- Harmonic Generation
- Nonlinear Wave Propagation of Stokes' Waves over Uneven Bottoms
Readership: Civil engineers.
