Course content

The course deals with deterministic description of surface gravity waves. The course covers:Transient waves; Cauchy-Poisson problem. Depth- and current-refraction of waves. Waves plus current. Ship waves. Analogy with geometrical optics. Conservation of wave action. Wave induced currents. Nonlinear waves in deep and shallow water. Nonlinear properties of waves with small amplitude. Nonlinear wave theories. Breaking waves.
