This book set is a revised version of the 2005 edition of Theory and Applications 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 demonstrated. In this revised version, five chapters on recent developments in linear and nonlinear aspects have been added. The first is on detailed analyses in Wave/Structure Interactions. The second is a new section on Waves through a Marine Forest, a topic motivated by its possible relevance to tsunami reduction. The third is on Long Waves in Shallow Water and the fourth is an update on Broad-Banded Nonlinear Surface Waves in the Open Sea to include new findings in this topic. The fifth is an expanded chapter on Numerical Simulation of Nonlinear Wave Dynamics to include predictions of nonlinear spectral evolution and rogue wave occurrence and dynamics using large-scale phase-resolved simulations. This revised version also includes recent developments in precorrected-FFT accelerated O(N log N) low- and high-order boundary element methods for the computation of fully nonlinear wave-wave and wave-body interactions.

Theory and Applications of Ocean Surface Waves (2016) 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.

Contents:

  • Part 1:

    • Introduction
    • Propagation of Transient Waves in Open Water of Essentially Constant Depth
    • Refraction by Slowly Varying Depth or Current
    • Long Waves of Infinitesimal Amplitude Over Bottom with Appreciable Variations
    • Harbor Oscillations Excited by Incident Long Waves
    • Effects of Head Loss at a Constriction on the Scattering of Long Waves: Hydraulic Theory
    • Multiple Scattering by Seabed Irregularities
    • Wave-Structure Interactions and Wave Energy Conversion
    • Damping of Small-Amplitude Waves
  • Part 2:

    • Mass Transport Due to Viscosity
    • Radiation Stresses, Bound Long Waves and Longshore Current
    • Nonlinear Long Waves in Shallow Water
    • Narrow-Banded Nonlinear Waves in Water of Intermediate or Great Depth
    • Broad-Banded Nonlinear Surface Waves in the Open Sea
    • Simulation of Nonlinear Wave Dynamics

Readership: Graduate students and lecturers in coastal and ocean engineering, as well as theoretical engineers, applied mathematicians and geophysicists.
