Description

Water Wave Mechanics for Engineers and Scientists by Robert George Dean and Robert A. Dalrymple is an introduction to classical water wave theory, making it accessible to both college seniors and first-year graduate students as well as practicing engineers.

The book begins with a review of fluid mechanics and basic vector concepts, before delving into the formulation and solution of the governing boundary value problem for small amplitude waves. It explores the kinematic and pressure fields for short and long waves, and discusses how variations in depth affect wave transformation and interactions with structures.

Additional topics covered include wavemaker theories, the statistics of ocean waves, and the application of water particle motions and pressure fields to calculate wave forces on objects. The book concludes each chapter with homework problems and includes an appendix with descriptions of nine experiments that can be performed in a wave tank facility.
