Oceangraphical Engineering

Oceangraphival engineering by Robert L. Wiegel is the long-awaited book for those who want a thorough guide to modern ocean technology. The important theories of sea phenomena and their properties are described in a manner that is a significant contribution to the understanding and solution of the problems encountered in the design, installation, and operation of ocean facilities and equipment. Among the Features: - Complrete single-volume treatment of wave force effects on strucutures - Broad coverage includes ocean currents and properties of sea water; not restricted to coastal and harbor problems - Provides depth of information on mooring line stresses - Only book to cover harbor oscillations and details of moored ship motion - Thoroughly summarizes linear and non-linear wave theories - Contains original work on ocean wave equivalent of Mach-stem phenomenon - Presents discussion of important ocean mixing processes
