Synopsis

In September 2006, research leaders in the field of coastal engineering, fluid mechanics, and wave theory met at Cornell University to celebrate the 60th birthday of Prof. Philip L-F Liu. This volume is a compilation of the research papers presented at the symposium, and includes both review and new research papers. Topics such as nonlinear wave theory, tsunamis, wave-structure interaction, turbulence, and modeling of complex sediment transport are discussed in this volume. All of the contributing authors are research collaborators of Prof. Liu, and include leaders in coastal engineering such as Maarten Dingemans, Hwung-Hweng Hwung, Nobu Kobayashi, Inigo Losada, Hocine Oumeraci, Costas Synolakis, and Harry Yeh.

About this title

Review

The book is well organized and is written in a precise and lucid style. It can be recommended to explorers and practitioners in ocean engineering. The book will be interesting for advanced graduate students and researchers in fluid mechanics and its applications to coastal hydrodynamics, wave dynamics and sediment transport. --Pure and Applied Geophysics
