DESCRIPTION:
"Five Stars" according to Mo. wonderful book for ocean engineering student.. "Good accessible book on water wave mechanics" according to calvinnme. The objectives of this book are to introduce the reader to the fundamental understanding of water wave theory and to apply the basic physical principles to the coastal and ocean environments. The prerequisites for understanding this book are knowledge of fluid mechanics, basic calculus, and differential equations. Thus it is presumed that the student is an engineer, and probably an ocean engineer. This book is really quite accessible. I am an electrical engineer and I have been using i. Outstanding Treatise Karl J. Hanson When I was in college studying structural engineering, one of my professors told the class: "The trouble with you students is, you don't know what you don't know". This book is a perfect illustration that, I "didn't know what I didn't know" much about water waves. This subject is very interesting.I got into this subject because I was designing an ocean marine dock. This book serves as an excellent resource for learning the essential topics, theory and technical jargon of this interesti
The authors pull together good stuff from various widely scattered sources the book makes a good impression it is worth having a copy of this book on your desk." -- T S Murty, Marine Geodesy. "Chapter on wave maker theory is new material, generally not found in text books
Wavemaker theories and the statistics of ocean waves are reviewed. The material is self-contained; almost all mathematical and engineering concepts are presented or derived in the text, thus making the book accessible to practicing engineers as well.The book commences with a review of fluid mechanics and basic vector concepts. This book is intended as an introduction to classical water wave theory for the college senior or first year graduate student. The formulation and solution of the governing boundary value problem for small ampl
