Wave Phenomena and Coastal Structures (v. 1) (Handbook of Coastal and Ocean Engineering) - Hardcover
Synopsis
The field of coastal and ocean engineering encompasses structural, environmental, hydraulic, computational, meteorological, and navigational topics. This is the first volume of a three-volume unified reference to the principal theories and practices in this broad field. Volume 1 provides insight into various complex wave theories, statistics, probability, and design applications. It also addresses wave-current interaction and changes in water levels caused by various physical phenomena, including the greenhouse effect. The second part presents methods to compute wave and ice forces on shore structures and artificial islands, and covers the design of breakwaters and seawalls. See also following entry.
