Synopsis
Excerpt from Directional Characteristics of Waves in Shallow Water
2. This report is intended for a readership with somewhat diverse backgrounds. As a result, some of the beginning material is basic and can be skipped (or scanned briefly). In particular, the remainder of Part I discusses importance of directional wave measurements, some past efforts in this regard, and some fundamental differences between low and high-resolution directional wave gages. Part II is essentially a tutorial on frequency direction spectra and can be skipped by those familiar with this subject. It also introduces basic notation and some conventional parameters. The reader might wish to scan Part II for these or refer to Appendix B, which lists all notation used in this report. Parameters introduced in Part II are also summarized at the end of Part V. Part III is a description of the measurement scheme, and the remaining parts are discussion and analysis of observations.

Directional Characteristics of Waves in Shallow Water (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book sheds new light on the directional characteristics of oceanic wind waves in shallow coastal waters. The author, a leading expert in the field, presents a comprehensive analysis of a dedicated program of field measurements, providing valuable insights into the behavior of wind waves in these dynamic environments. The book begins by outlining the historical context and significance of wave directionality studies. It then delves into the theoretical foundations of wave spectra, providing a detailed examination of frequency-direction spectra and their application in coastal engineering design. The analysis of the field measurements reveals the complex nature of wave directionality, demonstrating that real-world sea states often exhibit a wide range of directional distributions. The author introduces a novel parameterization scheme to characterize these distributions, enabling engineers to better understand and predict wave behavior in shallow waters. The results challenge conventional assumptions about wave directionality and highlight the need for more sophisticated modeling techniques to accurately represent wave dynamics in coastal regions. This book is an essential resource for coastal engineers, oceanographers, and researchers seeking to advance their understanding of wave processes. It offers a unique perspective on the directional characteristics of wind waves, providing valuable insights that can inform the design and maintenance of coastal structures and the management of coastal environments. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
