Water waves
Supervisor: Tony Roberts
Description: The aim of this course is to describe the main methods by which a wave motion can be analysed mathematically to extract interesting dynamics. Contents: linear wave dynamics; dispersion relations; group velocity; water wave properties; nonlinear Stokes waves; seiches; ray theory.
Prerequisites: PDEs, Vector Calculus and Fluid Dynamics
