Harris intended to explain in this book the special techniques required to model the radiation and diffraction of elastic and surface waves. He sadly died before he could fulfil this ambition but his plan has been brought to fruition by a... more

This paperback edition of Dr Hudson s advanced textbook presents the theory of small disturbances propagating through solids. The material is set out carefully in mathematical detail. The linearised theory of elasticity has now been replaced by a... more

Its main focus almost uniquely for its time is the application of Hamilton s optical method to variational principles in space-time. Professor J. L. Synge here uses this method to generate a completely... more

Interactions between waves and mean flows play a crucial role in understanding the long-term aspects of atmospheric and oceanographic modelling. Indeed our ability to predict climate change hinges on our ability to model waves accurately. This book... more

Free surface problems occur in many aspects of science and of everyday life such as the waves on a beach bubbles rising in a glass of champagne melting ice pouring flows from a container and sails billowing in the wind. Consequently the effect of... more

The emergence of observing systems such as acoustically-tracked floats in the deep ocean and surface drifters navigating by satellite has seen renewed interest in Lagrangian fluid dynamics. Starting from the foundations of elementary kinematics and... more
