Mathematics of Ocean Surface Waves

Speaker: Dr  Emiliano Renzi, UCD

Location: Room H1.52,  UCD Science Hub, University College Dublin, 

Abstract:

Deep understanding and  detailed investigation of ocean waves cannot be achieved without the help of mathematics. In this seminar, I will attempt to emphasise the importance of applying some fundamental mathematical techniques to the solution of ocean engineering problems. I will show how accurate formulation, solution and analysis of the solution provide a significant physical insight on various ocean dynamics, including tsunamis, wave energy conversion and acoustic-gravity waves.
