Course Objectives The objective of this course is to introduce the water wave theories and the applications of these theories in coastal engineering. This course aims to enable the students to understand the linear and non-linear wave theories, engineering wave properties and wave statistics and spectra.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • The students will learn the Small Amplitude Wave Theory.
  • The students will learn the water particle kinematics.
  • The students will learn the standing and progressive waves.
  • The students will study the transformation of waves entering the shallow water.
  • The students will study the non-linear wave theories.
  • Students will learn basics of wave statistics and spectra.
Course Content Small amplitude wave theory, non-linear wave theories (Stokes, Cnoidal), the solitary wave theory, water particle kinematics, wave transformations, wave height distribution and wave spectrum.
