3.9.4 Marine and Coastal Engineering
Due to the needs of the shipbuilding industry and hydraulic engineering,
research on free surface flow has already begun. The development of ocean
engineering has put forward new requirements for this aspect of research.
Therefore, the study of wave motion has been the focus of this field. The
wave motion is complex, especially for the movement of ocean waves (windgenerated waves), there are fewer regular waves, which usually appear as
irregular random waves, especially when encountering strong winds, waves
being impacted by the shore or ships, will cause complex Breaking wave
motion. Formally a “white hat” at the tip of the wave will be generated.
These waves will have an important impact on shipping, port, and ocean
engineering, as shown in Figs. 3.113, 3.114, 3.115, 3.116, 3.117.
