Presents the most recent advances in the theoretical and numerical aspects of problems arising in ocean waves engineering and links theoretical development with practical applications. Discusses low-frequency asymptotics of hydrodynamic forces on bodies in regular ocean waves and second-order wave potentials, and illustrates radiation and diffraction problems in the context of linear wave theory from a mathematical point of view. Of interest to applied mathematicians and practicing engineers. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
