Features: This book is a specialized work on the numerical simulation of wave problems in engineering. It systematically introduces the theory and methods of numerical simulation for surface gravity waves—long waves and dispersive waves (short waves)—as well as their applications in hydraulic, coastal, marine, and water environment engineering. The book contains numerous examples of numerical simulation for wave problems, representing the research achievements of the author and their research team over the years. The book is divided into 10 chapters. Chapter 1 provides an overview, introducing the basic concepts and methods of numerical simulation as well as wave problems in engineering. Chapter 2 offers an introduction to wave theory. Chapters 3 to 8 respectively present the numerical simulation methods and examples for various wave problems in hydraulic, coastal, marine, and water environment engineering. Chapter 9 discusses the solution of wave problems using the Reynolds equation for incompressible viscous fluids. Chapter 10 describes the establishment of numerical wave tanks and numerical wave pools using modern numerical simulation methods and techniques. This book can serve as a reference for graduate students, senior undergraduate students, and engineering technicians in relevant fields.
