Water Wave Scattering

The theory of water waves constitutes an important branch of applied mathematics, and due to its vast applicability in ocean related activities, it is also an important branch of engineering. This book describes a number of classes of wave scattering problems involving obstacles of various geometrical shapes, surface discontinuities, variable bottom topography, and more. The book presents an up-to-date account of mathematical developments in water wave scattering. It covers mathematical modeling of breakwaters used in protecting ports and marinas.
