While there are several excellent books dealing with numerical
analysis and analytical theory, students and faculty in numerical
applications to ocean dynamics have to sift through hundreds of
references. This monograph is an attempt to partly rectify this
situation. Major chapters (II, III and IV) deal first with the
basics and then go on to various applications. Instead of covering
the vast field of ocean dynamics, this book focuses on transport
equations (diffusion and advection), shallow water phenomena -
tides, storm surges and tsunamis; three-dimensional time dependent
oceanic motion; natural oscillations; and steady state phenomena.
The aim of this book is two-fold; it gives an introduction to the
application of finite-difference methods to ocean dynamics, and it
also reviews more complex methods.
While there are several excellent books dealing with numerical
analysis and analytical theory, one has to practically sift through
hundreds of references. This monograph is an attempt to partly
rectify this situation. It aims to introduce the application of
finite-difference methods to ocean dynamics as well as review other
complex methods. Systematically presented, the monograph first
gives a detailed account of the basics and then go on to discuss
the various applications. Recognising the impossibility of covering
the entire field of ocean dynamics, the writers have chosen to
focus on transport equations (diffusion and advection), shallow
water phenomena - tides, storm surges and tsunamis,
three-dimensional time dependent oceanic motion, natural
oscillations, and steady state phenomena. The many aspects covered
by this book makes it an indispensable handbook and reference
source to both professionals and students of this field.
