US$ 87.10 (+ tax)
This book is intended as an introduction to classical water wave theory for the college senior or first year graduate student. 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.

Each chapter concludes with a set of homework problems exercising and sometimes extending the material presented in the chapter. An appendix provides a description of nine experiments which can be performed, with little additional equipment, in most wave tank facilities.

Contents: Introduction to Wave Mechanics; A Review of Hydrodynamics and Vector Analysis; Small-Amplitude Water Wave Theory Formulation and Solution; Engineering Wave Properties; Long Waves; Wavemaker Theory; Wave Statistics and Spectra; Wave Forces; Waves Over Real Seabeds; Nonlinear Properties Derivable from Small-Amplitude Waves; Nonlinear Waves; A Series of Experiments for a Laboratory Course Component in Water Waves.

Readership: Coastal and ocean engineers.
