Contents:
Hydrodynamics of Tsunami Waves -- Weakly nonlinear and stochastic properties of ocean wave fields. Application to an extreme wave event -- Freak Waves Phenomenon: Physical Mechanisms and Modelling -- Rapid computations of steep surface waves in three dimensions, and comparisons with experiments -- Very large internal waves in the ocean — observations and nonlinear models -- Internal Tides. Global Field of Internal Tides and Mixing Caused by Internal Tides.
In: Springer eBooksSummary: Waves in Geophysical Fluids describes: the forecasting and risk evaluation of tsunamis by tectonic motion, land slides, explosions, run-up, and maps the tsunami sources in the world's oceans; stochastic Monte-Carlo simulations and focusing mechanisms for rogue waves, nonlinear wave models, breather formulas, and the kinematics of the Draupner wave; the full story about the discovery of the very large oceanic internal waves, how the waves are visible from above through the signatures on the sea surface, and how to compute them; observations of energetic internal tides and hot spots from several field campaigns in all parts of the world's oceans, with interpretation of spectra. An essential work for students, scientists and engineers working with the fundamental and applied aspects of ocean waves.
