The Great Wave of Hokusai Less dramatic: a Bessel function describing the oscillation in a harbour Simulation and satellite measurements of the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami		Lectures Waves in Water - an introduction that I give in the first lecture. Lecture Notes - a PDF file of some 4.3MByte Lecture on Tsunami - a PDF file of some 3MByte Diary of notes and additions - reverse chronological order Lecture notes Lecture Notes Tutorial sheets Tutorial Sheet 1 and Solution Sheet 1, Tutorial Sheet 2 and Solution Sheet 2, and Tutorial Sheet 3, which is unfortunately a bit esoteric. I will prepare the answers soon, but we are first going to solve practical wave problems after next lecture. Resources A picture of Puerto Banus in Andalucia, Spain, with its heavily engineered solutions and wave refraction and diffraction patterns (it appears in a rather smaller version at the end of the lecture notes). University of Delaware Coastal Engineering Data and Software Sources – a source of programs and data. US Army Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory – an organisation which provides much information such as the Coastal Engineering Manual (CEM) - A widely-used source and textbook for coastal engineering practice, now appearing in on-line form here. As far as this course is concerned, the section on CEM - Water Wave Mechanics might be useful. Mission Bay background – a coastal engineering investigation which will be described in lectures. Southern California Swell Model: a computational wave model – but note the accuracy disclaimer Tsunami information site US Geological Survey Seawalls in Japan - an interesting article that resonates with some of our later lectures, and reveals the different approaches and difficulties of decision-making.
