Bøker i Advances In Coastal And Ocean Engineering-serien

Deals with numerical methods that have been employed to simulate nonlinear water waves. This book covers important applications, such as overturning waves, breaking waves, waves generated by landslides, freak waves, solitary waves, tsunamis, sloshing waves, interaction of extreme waves with beaches, and interaction with fixed structures.

Process-based morphodynamic modelling is one of the relatively new tools at the disposal of coastal scientists, engineers and managers. This book offers the possibility to analyse morphological processes and to investigate the effects of various measures one might consider to alleviate some problems.
