ISBN-13: 9780521782111

This 2002 e-book examines the interplay among ocean waves and oscillating platforms. With a spotlight on linear research of low-amplitude waves, the textual content is designed to express an intensive figuring out of wave interactions. themes coated contain the heritage arithmetic of oscillations, gravity waves on water, the dynamics of wave-body interactions, and the absorption of wave power via oscillating our bodies. Linear algebra, complicated numbers, differential equations, and Fourier transformation are applied as bases for the research, and every bankruptcy ends with difficulties. whereas the book's concentration is on linear concept, the sensible program of power garage and shipping is interwoven all through. This ebook should be applicable for people with backgrounds in straightforward fluid dynamics or hydrodynamics and mathematical research. Graduate scholars and researchers will locate it a great resource of wave power idea and application.
