Wave Kinematics And Environmental Forces
Search in google:
This volume presents the proceedings of an international conference held on 24-25 March, 1993 in London under the auspices of the Society for Underwater Technology. Contributions have been selected from three major areas of development: the measurement and prediction of the kinematics of waves and of combined waves and currents; the derivation of environmental forces on structures whether offshore or coastal; and problems peculiar to shallow or coastal waters, with particular emphasis on breaking waves. This book is of value to engineers and scientists interested in the latest advances in research and development in the determination of environmental forces on offshore and coastal structures. Booknews Wave kinetics, fluid loading, and coastal conditions are the main topics of the 18 papers from a March 1993 conference in London. Among the specific topics: include non-linear wave current interactions, added hydrodynamic loading due to sacrificial anodes, and a full field study of post breaking velocity.
