This book was released on 2000-03-02 with total page 1039 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Twenty-Second Symposium on Naval Hydrodynamics was held in Washington, D.C., from August 9-14, 1998. It coincided with the 100th anniversary of the David Taylor Model Basin. This international symposium was organized jointly by the Office of Naval Research (Mechanics and Energy Conversion S&T Division), the National Research Council (Naval Studies Board), and the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division (David Taylor Model Basin). This biennial symposium promotes the technical exchange of naval research developments of common interest to all the countries of the world. The forum encourages both formal and informal discussion of the presented papers, and the occasion provides an opportunity for direct communication between international peers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume consists of twelve contributions related to the EU Marie Curie Transfer of Knowledge Project Cooperation of Estonian and Norwegian Scienti c Centres within Mathematics and its Applications, CENS-CMA (2005-2009), - der contract MTKD-CT-2004-013909, which ?nanced exchange visits to and from CENS, the Centre for Nonlinear Studies at the Institute of Cybernetics of Tallinn University of Technology in Estonia. Seven contributions describe research highlights of CENS members, two the work of members of CMA, the Centre of Mathematics for Applications,Univ- sity of Oslo, Norway, as the partner institution of CENS in the Marie Curie project, and three the ?eld of work of foreign research fellows, who visited CENS as part of theproject. Thestructureofthebookre?ectsthedistributionofthetopicsaddressed: Part I Waves in Solids Part II Mesoscopic Theory Part III Exploiting the Dissipation Inequality Part IV Waves in Fluids Part V Mathematical Methods The papers are written in a tutorial style, intended for non-specialist researchers and students, where the authors communicate their own experiences in tackling a problem that is currently of interest in the scienti?c community. The goal was to produce a book, which highlights the importance of applied mathematics and which can be used for educational purposes, such as material for a course or a seminar. To ensure the scienti?c quality of the contributions, each paper was carefully - viewed by two international experts. Special thanks go to all authors and referees, without whom making this book would not have been possible.
Download or read book Stable Three dimensional Biperiodic Waves in Shallow Water written by Norman W. Scheffner and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) equation is tested as a model for these biperiodic waves. This equation is the direct three-dimensional generalization of the famous Korteweg-deVries (KdV) equation for weakly nonlinear waves in two dimensions. It is known that the KP equation admits an infinite dimensional family of periodic solutions which are defined in terms of Riemann theta functions of genus N. Genus 2 solutions have two real periods and are similar in structure to the hexagonally-shaped waves observed in the experiments. A methodology is developed which related the free parameters of the genus 2 solution to the temporal and spatial data of the experimentally generated waves. Comparisons of exact genus 2 solutions with measured data show excellent agreement over the entire range of experiments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In problems of dispersive wave propagation governed by two distinct restoring-force mechanisms, the phase speed of linear sinusoidal wavetrains may feature a minimum, cmin, at non-zero wavenumber, kmin. Examples include waves on the surface of a liquid in the presence of both gravity and surface tension, flexural waves on a floating ice sheet, in which case capillarity is replaced by the flexural rigidity of the ice, and internal gravity waves in layered flows in the presence of interfacial tension. The focus here is on deep-water gravity-capillary waves, where cmin = 23 cm/s with corresponding wavelength Amin = 27r/kmin = 1.71 cm. In this instance, ignoring viscous dissipation, cmin is known to be the bifurcation point of two-dimensional (plane) and three-dimensional (fully localized) solitary waves, often referred to as "lumps"; these are nonlinear disturbances that propagate at speeds below cmin without change of shape owing to a perfect balance between the opposing effects of wave dispersion and nonlinear steepening. Moreover, Cmin is a critical forcing speed, as the linear inviscid response to external forcing moving at Cmin grows unbounded in time, and nonlinear effects as well as viscous dissipation are expected to play important parts near this resonance. In the present thesis, various aspects of the dynamics of gravity-capillary lumps are investigated theoretically. Specifically, it is shown that steep gravity-capillary lumps of depression can propagate stably and they are prominent nonlinear features of the forced response near resonant conditions, in agreement with companion experiment for the generation of gravity-capillary lumps on deep water. These findings are relevant to the generation of ripples by wind and to the wave drag associated with the motion of small bodies on a free surface.

This book was released on 2011-10-05 with total page 1885 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematics of Complexity and Dynamical Systems is an authoritative reference to the basic tools and concepts of complexity, systems theory, and dynamical systems from the perspective of pure and applied mathematics. Complex systems are systems that comprise many interacting parts with the ability to generate a new quality of collective behavior through self-organization, e.g. the spontaneous formation of temporal, spatial or functional structures. These systems are often characterized by extreme sensitivity to initial conditions as well as emergent behavior that are not readily predictable or even completely deterministic. The more than 100 entries in this wide-ranging, single source work provide a comprehensive explication of the theory and applications of mathematical complexity, covering ergodic theory, fractals and multifractals, dynamical systems, perturbation theory, solitons, systems and control theory, and related topics. Mathematics of Complexity and Dynamical Systems is an essential reference for all those interested in mathematical complexity, from undergraduate and graduate students up through professional researchers.
