Water Surface Waves: Finite-amplitude waves
by Yong Sung Park , Minjae Lee- 0.0
4 Weeks
To understand non-linear water wave theories and perturbation methods This course covers fundamentals of nonlinear water waves based on perturbation methods. After reviewing basic techniques of perturbation methods, we study solutions for Stokes waves of deep water. After identifying the limitation of Stokes waves solution in shallow water, we then derive the nonlinear shallow-water equations....
