An Introduction to Hydrodynamics and Water Waves (Springer Study Edition)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/3540072322/?tag=2022091-20
Water Waves Generated By Underwater Explosion (Advanced Series on Ocean Engineering)
(This is the first book on explosion-generated water waves...)
This is the first book on explosion-generated water waves. It presents the theoretical foundations and experimental results of the generation and propagation of impulsively generated waves resulting from underwater explosions. Many of the theories and concepts presented herein are applicable to other types of water waves, in particular, tsunamis and waves generated by the fall of a meteorite. Linear and nonlinear theories, as well as experimental calibrations, are presented for cases of deep and shallow water explosions. Propagation of transient waves on dissipative, nonuniform bathymetries together with laboratory simulations are analyzed and discussed.
