Waves on water of varying depth: a report on an IUTAM symposium
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 April 2006
Abstract
This is a review of an IUTAM symposium held in Canberra on 20–23 July 1976. The subject matter ranged widely: from surf on beaches to waves of oceanic scale, and from elegant analysis to observations from tide gauges.
