Nonlinear Wave Dynamics

A compilation of research papers presented at a symposium in September 2006, when research leaders in the field of coastal engineering, fluid mechanics, and wave theory met at Cornell University to celebrate the 60th birthday of Prof. Philip L-F Liu. It discusses topics such as nonlinear wave theory, tsunamis, and smoothed particle hydrodynamics.
