Coastlines, like many things around us, are constantly evolving.
Keeping pace with the changes and their development is necessary to
ensure their stability and to maintain eco-equilibrium for
nearshore hydrodynamics and morphodynamics. Supported with field
measurements for model validation, several numerical and analytical
tools are available to us to understand the physical processes in
the vicinity of these water bodies.This book encompasses the
engineering principles involved in field data observation,
measurement, collection, and processing; the prediction of wave
climate and sediment transport using measured field data; numerical
modelling involving calibration and validation of the hydrodynamic
and morphodynamic processes; and the study of the underlying
physical processes and the application of sustainable engineering
measures to combat coast- and estuary-related problems.The book has
three sections: The first section is an elaboration on the need for
and framework of the existing management and engineering notions.
The second section details the measurement of the various
parameters such as wave climate (offshore and nearshore), shoreline
changes, beach profile variation, and sediment transport rates. The
third section describes the aspects of wave prediction to arrive at
design characteristics and modelling of the hydrodynamic and
morphodynamic processes along open coasts and tidal inlets.This
book is designed to benefit students pursuing coastal engineering
as their field of specialization. It could also serve as a
guidebook to engineers, planners, and decision makers working in
the fields of coastal, estuarine, and harbour engineering,
governmental and private agencies that plan the financial outlay
for coastal development projects, and private consultants dealing
with maritime hydraulics.
This book deals with the bifurcation and chaotic aspects of damped
and driven nonlinear oscillators. The analytical and numerical
aspects of the chaotic dynamics of these oscillators are covered,
together with appropriate experimental studies using nonlinear
electronic circuits. Recent exciting developments in chaos research
are also discussed, such as the control and synchronization of
chaos and possible technological applications.
The most pertinent tsunami related issues such as water borne
debris during tsunami flooding, design loads to incorporate for
impact forces on coastal zone infrastructure, detection and warning
are meticulously incorporated in this book.Modelling of various
coastal processes have proven to be successful in the recent past,
which includes extreme events such as storm surge, cyclone, etc.
The possible provisions for computational/numerical tsunami
modelling and real physical modelling in laboratory are elaborated.
The propagation, evolution and run-up of tsunami waves and their
associated non-linear dynamics are discussed.The significant
inferences from the experts who have had hands-on experience
working with the extensive magnitude of a tsunami disaster reported
on the signature studies and post-facto effects of the 2004 Indian
Ocean Tsunami, with respect to the damages along the Indian coast.

Universities play a vital role in the educational set up as well as
in the society at large. They have to fulfill a variety of
obligations to the student's community in particular and the
society at large. They need adequate financial management practices
for fulfilling these obligations. The universities need finances
not only for imparting high education but also for carrying out
research and educational activities which have wider economic,
social and cultural implications. In this book an assiduous attempt
is made in the present study to assess the financial management
practices in the universities. The S.V. University is selected for
the purpose because of its long history, size and diversity of
courses in the field of higher education. This Book makes an
attempt to analyse the structure and growth trends of receipts and
expenditure in the past fifteen years. Deals with the analysis of
cash flow and funds flow management techniques adopted in S.V.
University.
