Water Waves: The Mathematical Theory with Applications
- Book Review,
by James J. Stoker
From Book News, Inc.
A reprint of Stoker's 1958 (John Wiley & Sons) account of the mathematical theory of wave motion in liquids with a free surface and subjected to gravitational and other forces, together with applications to a wide variety of concrete physical problems. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
Book Description
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.
