The Proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Very Large Floating Structures (VLFS '99)

Proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Very Large Floating Structures, Volumes 1, Honolulu, HI, September 22-24, 1999

The Proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Very Large Floating Structures (VLFS'99) includes 110 written contributions by 241 authors on the Mobile Offshore Base Project of the U.S. and the Mega-Float Project of Japan, as well in the general areas related to the design and analysis of VLFS. The Workshop was held in September 22-24, 1999, Honolulu, and attended by more than 160 researchers from 10 countries.

Engineering Mathematics for Marine Applications

Gaining expertise in marine floating systems typically requires access to multiple resources to obtain the knowledge required, but this book fills the long-felt need for a single cohesive source that brings together the mathematical methods and dynamic analysis techniques required for a meaningful analysis, primarily, of large and small bodies in oceans. You will be introduced to fundamentals such as vector calculus, Fourier analysis, and ordinary and partial differential equations. Then you'll be taken through dimensional analysis of marine systems, viscous and inviscid flow around structures surface waves, and floating bodies in waves. Real-life applications are discussed and end of chapter problems help ensure full understanding. Students and practicing engineers will find this an invaluable resource for developing problem solving and design skills in a challenging ocean environment through the use of engineering mathematics.
