Finite-Difference Method for Nonlinear Wave Hydrodynamics

By Palaniswamy Ananthakrishnan

Finite-Difference Method for Nonlinear Wave Hydrodynamics Palaniswamy Ananthakrishnan, Florida Atlantic University, USA Presents the theory and analysis of nonlinear wave hydrodynamics problems using the finite-difference method Finite-Difference Method for Nonlinear Wave Hydrodynamics comprehensively covers the analysis of nonlinear wave hydrodynamics problems using the finite-difference method. The book reviews the formulation of wave hydrodynamics and basic properties of ocean waves, presents the theory and derivations involved in the finite-difference method applied to wave hydrodynamics, and focuses on the application of nonlinear boundary conditions including effects of viscosity and surface tension. Finite-Difference Method for Nonlinear Wave Hydrodynamics would enable the reader to develop their own codes for analysis; fully understand and implement commercial software; extend the software by integrating it with design tools; and contribute to further developments in computational wave mechanics. Key features: Makes comparisons with other computational methods, including grid free methods. Analyses nonlinear wave-body and wave-vortex interactions. Discusses current issues in numerical modeling of nonlinear wave motion. Includes worked out examples. The book is an ideal reference for graduate students, researchers and practitioners in ocean, mechanical, civil and offshore engineering, and naval architecture.
