Ocean Wave Kinematics, Dynamics, and Loads on Structures

Proceedings of the International DTRC Symposium, held in Houston, Texas, April 30-May 1, 1998. Sponsored by the David Taylor Research Center, U.S. Navy.

This collection contains 60 papers on recent advances in the understanding, measurement, and prediction of wave kinematics, wave dynamics, and wave loads acting on offshore and coastal structures. This international exchange of knowledge and data on new theories, models, statistics, and measurements of ocean waves and wave-structure interaction presents the state of the art. It provides a valuable reference for professionals engaged in the fields of ocean science and engineering.
