Water Waves The Mathematical Theory With Applications

Offers an integrated account of the mathematical hypothesis of wave motion in liquids with a free surface, subjected to gravitational and other forces. Uses both potential and linear wave equation theories, together with applications such as the Laplace and Fourier transform methods, conformal mapping and complex variable techniques in general or integral equations, methods employing a Green's function. Coverage includes fundamental hydrodynamics, waves on sloping beaches, problems involving waves in shallow water, the motion of ships and much more.Stoker, J. J. is the author of 'Water Waves The Mathematical Theory With Applications', published 1992 under ISBN 9780471570349 and ISBN 0471570346.
