Opis

The second edition of a bestseller, this book discusses the numerical methods for modeling water waves and their applications. This book describes methods developed primarily at the Los Alamos National Laboratory within the last forty years. It explains data on basic fluid dynamics associated with water waves and also addresses advanced techniques for modeling. It provides numerical modeling of the largest historical tsunami wave recorded. Also included is a CD-ROM with FORTRAN codes of numerical methods for water wave modeling, and tsunami wave generation, propagation and flooding. Includes animations of many of the solved problems using these codes.

Spis treści

Numerical Modeling of Water Waves, Second Edition covers all aspects of this subject, from the basic fluid dynamics and the simplest models to the latest and most complex, including the first-ever description of techniques for modeling wave generation by explosions, projectile impacts, asteroids, and impact landslides. The book comes packaged with a CD-ROM that contains the computer codes and movies generated by the author and his colleagues at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Mader's three-pronged approach--through text, computer programs, and animations--imparts a thorough understanding of new computational methods and provides the tools to put those methods to effective use.
