Bol Understand water waves from first principles-and apply that knowledge to real coastal, ocean, and offshore engineering problems.The Water Wave Mechanics Handbook gives you a structured path from fundamental fluid mechanics to the practical analysis of waves, coastal processes, marine structures, and ocean dynamics. Instead of treating wave theory, forecasting, and engineering applications as disconnected subjects, this handbook brings them together into one practical technical reference. Inside, you'll learn how to: - Build a strong foundation in fluid mechanics, governing equations, boundary conditions, and dimensional analysis.- Apply linear Airy wave theory, dispersion relationships, particle kinematics, pressure calculations, wave energy, and group velocity.- Understand nonlinear wave behavior using Stokes, cnoidal, solitary, and stream-function approaches.- Analyze shoaling, refraction, diffraction, reflection, wave breaking, and nearshore transformation.- Work with wind-wave generation, significant wave height, Rayleigh statistics, JONSWAP and Pierson-Moskowitz spectra, and extreme-value concepts.- Understand modern wave measurement and forecasting using buoys, pressure sensors, radar, WAVEWATCH III, SWAN, and related numerical methods.- Connect wave mechanics to breakwaters, seawalls, offshore platforms, floating structures, sediment transport, coastal erosion, tsunamis, storm surge, and wave-energy applications.Written for engineering students, coastal and offshore professionals, oceanographers, and technically minded readers, the handbook progresses deliberately from theory to application while emphasizing both physical intuition and the limitations of engineering models. The manuscript also includes chapter summaries, reference appendices, equations, applicability guidance, and technical illustrations for faster review.Build a more complete working understanding of water wave mechanics-get your copy today.
