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.

This comprehensive guide to floating breakwaters is an essential resource for coastal engineers and scientists. The authors provide both theoretical and practical information on the design, construction, and maintenance of floating breakwaters in shallow water, drawing on decades of research and experience in the field.
