Books in the Advances In Coastal And Ocean Engineering series

Deals with numerical methods that have been employed to simulate nonlinear water waves. This book covers important applications, such as overturning waves, breaking waves, waves generated by landslides, freak waves, solitary waves, tsunamis, sloshing waves, interaction of extreme waves with beaches, and interaction with fixed structures.

- State-of-the-art overview of PIV applied to water waves- Invited articles, in carefully chosen fields, providing profound insight into the role of PIV in important applications- Updated overviews of the PIV method that will benefit newcomers to the field

Process-based morphodynamic modelling is one of the relatively new tools at the disposal of coastal scientists, engineers and managers. This book offers the possibility to analyse morphological processes and to investigate the effects of various measures one might consider to alleviate some problems.
