This book is intended as an introduction to classical water wave
theory for the college senior or first year graduate student. The
material is self-contained; almost all mathematical and engineering
concepts are presented or derived in the text, thus making the book
accessible to practicing engineers as well.The book commences with
a review of fluid mechanics and basic vector concepts. The
formulation and solution of the governing boundary value problem
for small amplitude waves are developed and the kinematic and
pressure fields for short and long waves are explored. The
transformation of waves due to variations in depth and their
interactions with structures are derived. Wavemaker theories and
the statistics of ocean waves are reviewed. The application of the
water particle motions and pressure fields are applied to the
calculation of wave forces on small and large objects. Extension of
the linear theory results to several nonlinear wave properties is
presented. Each chapter concludes with a set of homework problems
exercising and sometimes extending the material presented in the
chapter. An appendix provides a description of nine experiments
which can be performed, with little additional equipment, in most
wave tank facilities.
