Book DetailsContemporary MathematicsReal Sociedad Matemática EspañolaVolume: 200; 1996; 235 ppMSC: Primary 76; 35
The proceedings featured in this book grew out of a conference attended by 40 applied mathematicians and physicists which was held at the International Center for Research in Mathematics in Luminy, France, in May 1995. This volume reviews recent developments in the mathematical theory of water waves. The following aspects are considered: modeling of various wave systems, mathematical and numerical analysis of the full water wave problem (the Euler equations with a free surface) and of asymptotic models (Korteweg-de Vries, Boussinesq, Benjamin-Ono, Davey-Stewartson, Kadomtsev-Petviashvili, etc.), and existence and stability of solitary waves.
Features:
- The latest developments in the theory of water waves.
- Rigorous and formal results.
- Papers from world-renowned experts in the field.
ReadershipGraduate students and research mathematicians interested in fluid mechanics.
