SC - 806 | Waves in Geophysical Fluids

Waves in Geophysical Fluids: Tsunamis, Rogue Waves, Internal Waves and Internal Tides: 489 (CISM International Centre for Mechanical Sciences) by John Grue (Editor), Karsten Trulsen (Editor)

This book describes the forecasting and risk evaluation of tsunamis by tectonic motion, land slides, explosions, run-up, and maps the tsunami sources in the world's oceans. It presents stochastic Monte-Carlo simulations and focusing mechanisms for rogue waves, nonlinear wave models, breather formulas, and the kinematics of the Draupner wave. Coverage also reveals the full story about the discovery of the very large oceanic internal waves.
