Wind Over Waves II: Forecasting and Fundamentals of Applications

by SG Sajjadi and Julian CR Hunt
Soft Cover 2003 1898563810 Horwood Publishing Limited Illustrated This book addresses ocean wave processes and turbulence as they affect oceanography, meteorology, marine and coastal engineering. It will enable applied mathematicians, seafarers, and all others affected by these phenomena to predict and control wave effects on shipping safety, weather forecasting, offshore structures, sediment pollution, and ice dynamics in polar regions. The focus is on analytical and computational methods for solving equations of motion and studying non-linear aspects of waves and turbulence. The book records the proceedings of the Wind Over Waves conference of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications at Churchill College, Cambridge. Co-sponsors with the IMA are The Institute of Civil Engineers and The Royal Meteorological Society.
