This title presents recent advances in the theoretical and numerical aspects of problems arising in ocean waves engineering and links theoretical developments with practical applications. With contributions from experts, topics include: hydrodynamic forces on fixed and floating structures, wave loads and response of tension-leg platforms, linearized theory of water waves, Painleve analysis, non-linear evolution equations, numerical modelling of nonlinear propagation of water waves and variational inequalities in physical oceanography.
