Opis

Modeling of Extreme Waves in Technology and Nature presents unified theories of extreme waves, based on conservation and state equations of continuum or multiphase media. Cases of both surface waves and waves arising in materials and physical fields under extreme conditions are analyzed, and modeling techniques demonstrated.

O autorze

Shamil U. Galiev obtained his Ph.D. degree in Mathematics and Physics from Leningrad University in 1971, and, later, a full doctorate (ScD) in Engineering Mechanics from the Academy of Science of Ukraine (1978). He worked in the Academy of Science of former Soviet Union as a researcher, senior researcher and department chair from 1965 to 1995. From 1984 to 1989 he served as a Professor of Theoretical Mechanics in the Kiev Technical University, Ukraine. Since 1996 he has served as Professor, Honorary Academic of the University of Auckland, New Zealand. Dr. Galiev has published approximately 90 scientific publications, and is the author of seven books devoted to different complex wave phenomena. From 1965-2014 he has studied different engineering problems connected with dynamics and strength of submarines, rocket systems, and target/projectile (laser beam) systems. Some of these results were published in  books and papers. During 1998-2017 he did extensive research and publication in the area of strongly nonlinear effects connected with catastrophic earthquakes, giant ocean waves and waves in nonlinear scalar fields. Overall, Dr. Galiev’s research has covered many areas of engineering, mechanics, physics and mathematics.
