The primary objective of this book is to provide a review of techniques available for the
problems of wave propagation in regions with uneven beds as they are encountered in …

Effective coastal engineering is expensive, but it is not as costly as neglect or ineffective
intervention. Good practice needs to be based on sound principles, but theoretical work and …

This paper provides a review of available studies on wave transformation by bathymetric
changes and the resulting shoreline impacts. Three case studies of beach nourishment …

Modelling large-scale wave fields and their interaction with coastal and offshore structures
has become much more feasible over the last two decades with increases in computer …

Two time-dependent equations for wave propagation on rapidly varying topography are
developed using different theoretical approaches and are shown to be identical. The …

Five different coastal area morphodynamic models have been set up to run on the same
offshore breakwater layout and an intercomparison carried out on the hydrodynamic and …

Iterative solution procedures for solving the complete mild-slope wave (combined refraction-
diffraction) equation are developed. Existing models for investigating wave refraction …

A technique for internal generation of waves is studied for two time-dependent mild-slope
equation models developed by Copeland [Copeland, GJM, 1985. A practical alternative to …

An efficient numerical model is constructed with the combination of analytical and Hybrid
Finite Element Method (HFEM) based on mild slope equation for shallow water waves to …

In this paper a three dimensional multigrid model is developed for the linear and fully
nonlinear water wave propagation. The Laplace equation is transformed from an irregular …
