Proceedings of the Fourth International Symposium on Ocean Wave Measurement and Analysis, Waves 2001, held in San Francisco, California, September 2-6, 2001. Copublished with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Sponsored by Coastal Zone Management Committee Waves and Wave Forces Committee, and Rubble Mound Structure Committee of Coasts, Oceans, Ports, and River Institute of ASCE. This collection contains 182 papers that explore major advances in wave measurement and quantification of ocean and lake waves, including technical knowledge and applications in wave theory, characteristics, design, and techniques. Papers are national and international in scope and include practical examples and case histories. Topics include: wave transformation, data analysis and reliability, wave modeling, design applications, long waves and tides, wave measurement techniques and instruments, and extreme wave statistics.

This 2002 book examines the interaction between ocean waves and oscillating systems. With a focus on linear analysis of low-amplitude waves, the text is designed to convey a thorough understanding of wave interactions. Topics covered include the background mathematics of oscillations, gravity waves on water, the dynamics of wave-body interactions, and the absorption of wave energy by oscillating bodies. Linear algebra, complex numbers, differential equations, and Fourier transformation are utilized as bases for the analysis, and each chapter ends with problems. While the book's focus is on linear theory, the practical application of energy storage and transport is interwoven throughout. This book will be appropriate for those with backgrounds in elementary fluid dynamics or hydrodynamics and mathematical analysis. Graduate students and researchers will find it an excellent source of wave energy theory and application.

This book is a useful source of ideas and information for scientists whose work involves understanding and modelling turbulent flows with free surfaces. It has the following merits: (1) It provides a framework for developing the analysis of this field, which, although important, has received only limited study; (2) It recognizes the importance of the two-phase nature of strongly disturbed free surface flows, with both natural and technological applications; (3) It suggests possible lines of future research (especially experimental) to quantify the characteristics of flow regimes which are main
