Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex world of wave-current interaction, a phenomenon often overlooked but critical in coastal and ocean engineering. It bridges the gap between theoretical fluid dynamics and practical engineering applications, offering valuable insights for understanding and predicting wave behavior in the presence of currents. Historically, the study of wave-current interaction has been more prominent in Europe due to the significant influence of tides in the North Sea region. The author addresses this disparity by presenting a comprehensive review of international literature, raising awareness among engineers about the crucial aspects of this interplay. The book explores various types of currents, including tidal currents, ocean currents, and wind-driven currents, and their impact on wave properties such as wave height, direction, and breaking. It delves into the theoretical foundations of wave refraction by currents, providing practical examples and highlighting the limitations of simplified approaches. The book emphasizes the significance of considering the combined effects of waves and currents, rather than treating them as separate entities. This interaction has profound implications for engineering design, particularly in coastal areas where currents can significantly alter wave forces on structures and sediment transport patterns. Understanding these complex interactions is essential for accurate predictions and effective coastal management strategies.
