The theory of waves is generalized on cases when waves change
medium in which they appear and propagate. A reaction of structural
elements and space objects to the dynamic actions of the different
nature, durations, and intensities is studied. It considers the
effects of transitions in the state and phase equations of media on
the formation and propagation of extreme waves as a result of
power, thermal, or laser pulsed action. The influence of cavitation
and cool boiling of liquids, geometric and physical nonlinearity of
walls on containers' strength, and the formation of extreme waves
is studied. The theory can be also used to optimize impulse
technology, in particular, in the optimization of explosive
processing of sheet metal by explosion in a liquid. This book was
written for researchers and engineers, as well as graduate students
in the fields of thermal fluids, aerospace, nuclear engineering,
and nonlinear waves.
Modeling of Extreme Waves in Technology and Nature is a two-volume
set, comprising Evolution of Extreme Waves and Resonances (Volume
I) and Extreme Waves and Shock-Excited Processes in Structures and
Space Objects (Volume II). The theory of waves is generalized on
cases of extreme waves. The formation and propagation of extreme
waves of various physical and mechanical nature (surface,
elastoplastic, fracture, thermal, evaporation) in liquid and solid
media, and in structural elements contacting with bubbly and
cryogenic liquids are considered analytically and numerically. The
occurrence of tsunamis, giant ocean waves, turbulence, and
different particle-waves is described as resonant natural
phenomena. Nonstationary and periodic waves are considered using
models of continuum. The change in the state of matter is taken
into account using wide-range determining equations. The desire for
the simplest and at the same time general description of extreme
wave phenomena that takes the reader to the latest achievements of
science is the main thing that characterizes this book and is
revolutionary for wave theory. A description of a huge number of
observations, experimental data, and calculations is also given.
The theory of waves is generalized on cases of strongly nonlinear
waves, multivalued waves, and particle-waves. The appearance of
these waves in various continuous media and physical fields is
explained by resonances and nonlinearity effects. Extreme waves
emerging in different artificial and natural systems from atom
scale to the Universe are explored. Vast amounts of experimental
data and comparisons of them with the results of the developed
theory are presented. The book was written for graduate students as
well as for researchers and engineers in the fields of geophysics,
nonlinear wave studies, cosmology, physical oceanography, and ocean
and coastal engineering. It is designed as a professional reference
for those working in the wave analysis and modeling fields.
