The motion of water is governed by a set of mathematical equations which are extremely complicated and intractable. This is not surprising when one considers the highly diverse and intricate physical phenomena which may be exhibited by a given body of water. Recent mathematical advances have enabled researchers to make major progress in this field, reflected in the topics featured in this volume. Cutting-edge techniques and tools from mathematical analysis have generated strong rigorous results concerning the qualitative and quantitative physical properties of solutions of the governing equations. Furthermore, accurate numerical computations of fully-nonlinear steady and unsteady water waves...
Deals with numerical methods that have been employed to simulate nonlinear water waves. This book covers important applications, such as overturning waves, breaking waves, waves generated by landslides, freak waves, solitary waves, tsunamis, sloshing waves, interaction of extreme waves with beaches, and interaction with fixed structures.
This volume contains the proceedings of the AMS Special Session on Nonlinear Waves and Integrable Systems, held on April 13-14, 2013, at the University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado. The field of nonlinear waves is an exciting area of modern mathematical research that also plays a major role in many application areas from physics and fluids. The articles in this volume present a diverse cross section of topics from this field including work on the Inverse Scattering Transform, scattering theory, inverse problems, numerical methods for dispersive wave equations, and analytic and computational methods for free boundary problems. Significant attention to applications is also given throughout the articles with an extensive presentation on new results in the free surface problem in fluids. This volume will be useful to students and researchers interested in learning current techniques in studying nonlinear dispersive systems from both the integrable systems and computational points of view.
This volume offers an overview of the area of waves in fluids and the role they play in the mathematical analysis and numerical simulation of fluid flows. Based on lectures given at the summer school “Waves in Flows”, held in Prague from August 27-31, 2018, chapters are written by renowned experts in their respective fields. Featuring an accessible and flexible presentation, readers will be motivated to broaden their perspectives on the interconnectedness of mathematics and physics. A wide range of topics are presented, working from mathematical modelling to environmental, biomedical, and industrial applications. Specific topics covered include: Equatorial wave–current interactions Water–wave problems Gravity wave propagation Flow–acoustic interactions Waves in Flows will appeal to graduate students and researchers in both mathematics and physics. Because of the applications presented, it will also be of interest to engineers working on environmental and industrial issues.

Homogenization is a fairly new, yet deep field of mathematics which is used as a powerful tool for analysis of applied problems which involve multiple scales. Generally, homogenization is utilized as a modeling procedure to describe processes in complex structures. Applications of Homogenization Theory to the Study of Mineralized Tissue functions as an introduction to the theory of homogenization. At the same time, the book explains how to apply the theory to various application problems in biology, physics and engineering. The authors are experts in the field and collaborated to create this book which is a useful research monograph for applied mathematicians, engineers and geophysicists. As...
