Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an introductory guide to infragravity energy, focusing on its impact on sediment transport and sandbar dynamics. It explains the concept of infragravity waves, their generation mechanisms, and their significance in the study of nearshore processes. The author presents field evidence and data to demonstrate the presence of infragravity energy in the surf zone and discusses its role in shaping the shoreline, particularly during storm conditions. By examining the history of infragravity wave research, this book places the subject within its broader scientific context and highlights the importance of infragravity energy in understanding the dynamics of the coastal environment. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

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.
