Coastal Engineering: Processes, Theory and Design Practice, 2/e (Paperback)

Historically, much harm has been done by well-meaning coastal engineering attempts, which seemed like good ideas on paper but which failed to allow for practical issues. For this reason, it is vital that theories and models are well grounded in practice.

This second edition brings the models and examples of practice up to date. It has expanded coverage of tsunamis and generating energy from waves to focus both on the great dangers and the great opportunities that the ocean presents to the coastal zone. With an emphasis on practice and detailed modelling, this is a thorough introduction to all aspects of coastal processes, morphology, and design of coastal defences. It describes numerous case studies to illustrate the successful application of mathematical modelling to real-world practice.

A must-have book for engineering students looking to specialize in coastal engineering and management.

歷史上，許多出於善意的沿海工程嘗試造成了很大的損害，這些嘗試在紙上看起來是好主意，但卻未考慮到實際問題。因此，理論和模型必須建立在實踐的基礎上，這一點至關重要。

第二版將模型和實踐示例更新至最新。它擴展了對海嘯和利用海浪發電的覆蓋範圍，旨在關注海洋對沿海地區帶來的巨大危險和巨大機遇。本書強調實踐和詳細建模，全面介紹了沿海過程、形態學和沿海防禦設計的各個方面。它描述了許多案例研究，以說明數學建模在實際應用中的成功。

這是一本必備的書籍，適合專攻沿海工程和管理的工程學生。
