Modelling large-scale wave fields and their interaction with
coastal and offshore structures has become much more feasible over
the last two decades with increases in computer speeds. Wave
modelling can be viewed as an extension of wave theory, a mature
and widely published field, applied to practical engineering
through the use of computer tools. Information about the various
wave models which have been developed is often widely scattered in
the literature, and consequently this is one of the first books
devoted to wave models and their applications. At the core of the
book is an introduction to various types of wave models. For each
model, the theoretical assumptions, the application range, and the
advantages and limitations are elaborated. The combined use of
different wave models from large-scale to local-scale is
highlighted with a detailed discussion of the application and
matching of boundary conditions. At the same time the book provides
a grounding in hydrodynamics, wave theory, and numerical methods
which underlie wave modelling. It presents the theoretical
background and also shows how to use these models for achieving
different engineering tasks, illustrated and reinforced with case
study examples.
