Abstract

Contents Long waves generated by nuclear explosions. Type of waves and initial decay in deep water Theoretical considerations and computations for water waves produced by explosions Surface waves generated by disturbance on sea bed in constant depth open sea The principle of superposition and the theory of Cauchy-Poisson The shoaling, damping, breaking and run-up of long waves over the continental shelf. On saturated and nonsaturated breakers The wave run-up method of characteristics two-dimensional nonlinear wave motion in an estuary.
