COASTAL AND ESTUARINE PROCESSES
by Peter Nielsen (The University of Queensland, Australia)
This book is an introductory treatment to coastal
and estuarine processes for earth scientists or
engineers. Suitable for a first course on the subject,
it covers water waves, surf zone hydrodynamics,
tides in oceans and estuaries, storm surges,
estuarine mixing, basic sediment transport,
coastal morphodynamics and coastal groundwater
dynamics.
The book contains a substantial amount of new
material. For example, the explicit, analytical
treatment of transient, forced long waves strongly
enhances the discussion on tsunami, storm surges and surf beat. The treatment
of turbulent mixing includes finite mixing length effects, which provide an
explanation for differential diffusion of different sediment sizes in suspension.
The recently discovered effects of acceleration skewness and boundary
layer streaming are also included in the basic sediment transport models.
In addition, the treatment of beach groundwater dynamics: The mechanisms
by which waves as well as tides drive groundwater motion, builds the link
between the previously unconnected fields of coastal hydraulics and regional
groundwater modeling.
To serve as an effective reference book for professionals, the book is fully
indexed and comprehensively cross referenced.
Readership: Undergraduate and graduate students, researchers and engineers
in coastal, civil and environmental engineering.

WATER WAVE MECHANICS FOR ENGINEERS
AND SCIENTISTS
by Robert G Dean (University of Florida, USA) & Robert A Dalrymple
(University of Delaware, USA)
The book commences with a review of fluid
mechanics and basic vector concepts. The
formulation and solution of the governing boundary
value problem for small amplitude waves are
developed and the kinematic and pressure fields
for short and long waves are explored. The
transformation of waves due to variations in depth
and their interactions with structures are derived.
Wavemaker theories and the statistics of ocean
waves are reviewed. The application of the water
particle motions and pressure fields are applied to
the calculation of wave forces on small and large objects. Extension of the
linear theory results to several nonlinear wave properties is presented.
Readership: Coastal and ocean engineers.
“Chapter on wave maker theory is new material, generally not found in text
books. The authors pull together good stuff from various widely scattered
sources ... the book makes a good impression ... it is worth having a copy
of this book on your desk.”

Most of the Earth’s surface is covered by water.
Our everyday lives and activities are affected by
water waves in oceans, such as the tsunami that
occurred in the Indian Ocean on 26 December
2004. This indicates how important it is for us to
fully understand water waves, in particular the
very large ones. One way to do so is to perform
numerical simulation based on the nonlinear theory.
Considerable research advances have been made in
this area over the past decade by developing various
numerical methods and applying them to emerging
problems; however, until now there has been no comprehensive book to
reflect these advances. This unique volume aims to bridge this gap.
Readership: Postgraduates, researchers and engineers in numerical modeling
of nonlinear water waves.
Key Features
• Reviews the state-of-the-art numerical modeling of nonlinear water
waves
• Presents almost all advanced numerical methods for nonlinear water
waves
• Presents key achievements over the past decade in this area
• Covers almost all related applications, such as overturning waves, breaking
waves, freak waves, tsunamis, violent sloshing waves, green water,
wave–structure interaction and so on
• Serves as a unique reference for postgraduates, researchers and senior
engineers

INTRODUCTION TO COASTAL ENGINEERING
AND MANAGEMENT
(2nd Edition)
by J William Kamphuis (Queen’s University, Canada)
This book is based on the author’s 34 years of experience as a teacher/
researcher of coastal engineering and management and on recent reflections
on contemporary issues, such as consequences of failure, impacts of rising
sea levels, aging infrastructure, real estate development and contemporary
decision making, design and education.
This textbook for undergraduate students, postgraduate students and
practicing engineers covers waves, structures, sediment movement, coastal
management, and contemporary coastal design and decision making,
presenting both basic principles and engineering solutions. It discusses the
traditional methods of analysis and synthesis (design), but also contemporary
design taking into account environmental impacts, consequences of failure,
and current concerns such as global warming, aging infrastructure, working
with stakeholder groups, regulators, etc.
This second edition expands greatly on current topics of failure and resilience
that surfaced as a result of recent disasters from hurricane surges and
tsunamis. It also updates the discussion of design and decision making in
the 21st century, with many new examples presented.
Readership: Undergraduate and graduate students, researchers and
academics in coastal engineering and management.
Key Features
• Focuses on design
• Looks at the whole spectrum of coastal engineering — waves, structures
and sediment
• Much of it is at a basic, introductory level, but leads into sophisticated
contemporary design concepts

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF OCEAN WAVES AND
OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
by Leon E Borgman (University of Wyoming), John Niedzwecki (Texas A&M
University), Norman W Scheffner (USAE Waterways Experiment Station,
Missowi), John W Kern (Western Ecosystems Technology, Inc., Wyoming)
& Mihail Petrakos (Space Applications Institute of the Joint Research Center,
Ispra, Italy)
In this book, the statistics of ocean wave phenomena is developed from
the viewpoints of individual wave properties, such as height, period, and
direction; climatological properties at a given time, such as significant height
and directional spectra; and long term statistics of the wave climatology.
Random functions, correlated in space and time, are formulated for both
environmental and ocean data. Techniques, with an appropriate software
library (FORTRAN and MATLAB), are provided for the analysis of data,
geostatistical kriging, and the simulation of realistic artificial data. This
includes a detailed development of conditional simulation (with particular
emphasis on the very fast frequency domain methods), and of distributionfree empirical simulation techniques.
The book can be used for a variety of university courses and seminars. It
does not present a broad survey, but rather an in-depth treatment of a large
number of important application techniques.
Readership: Ocean engineers and scientists, coastal engineers, civil
engineers, geostatisticians, applied statisticians and mathematicians.
