Advances in Coastal and Ocean Engineering - Vol. 5
ADVANCES IN COASTAL AND OCEAN ENGINEERING
edited by Philip L-F Liu (Cornell University)
In the last two decades, one of the most important research accomplishments in coastal hydrodynamics has been the development of accurate numerical models for nonlinear water wave propagation over a complex bathymetry from a relatively deep-water depth into the surf zone. This book contains five excellent papers reviewing different methodologies in various aspects of wave modeling; the authors are active researchers who have made original contributions to these subjects.
Contents:
- A Review of Boussinesq-Type Equations for Surface Gravity
Waves (P A Madsen & H A Schäffer)
- Wave Runup and Overtopping on Beaches and Coastal Structures (N Kobayashi)
- On Second Order Wave Loading and Response in Irregular Seas (R E Taylor & M P Kernot)
- Free Surface Tracking Methods and Their Applications to Wave Hydrodynamics (P Lin & P-F Liu)
- Numerical Methods for Nonlinear Waves (J D Fenton)
Readership: Civil and ocean engineers and applied physicists.
