Features: This book discusses linear and nonlinear wave theories in finite water depths, shallow water linear and nonlinear wave theories, wave propagation and evolution theories on varying seabeds, transient wave propagation and evolution theories, wave radiation and linear and nonlinear theories, linear and nonlinear theories of wave diffraction and reflection, wave mathematical models (high-order Boussinesq equations, mild-slope equations, etc.), wave-current interaction theories, wave propagation on permeable seabeds, and wave seepage pressure on structures, reflecting the latest developments in wave theories. The content covers the application of wave theories in marine engineering, port engineering, coastal engineering, and ship engineering, as well as in wave numerical simulations. It also extensively involves the application of mathematical physics methods, helping beginners to understand and master the knowledge and skills in this field. This book is suitable for researchers, graduate students, and university teachers and students engaged in marine engineering, ship engineering, port engineering, coastal engineering, and wave-related research. It is particularly suitable as a textbook or reference book for graduate students in port, coastal, and offshore engineering.
