Science and Engineering of Freak Waves 1st Edition

Science and Engineering of Freak Waves — 1st Edition by Nobuhito Mori, Takuji Waseda, and Amin Chabchoub

Rogue or freak waves remain one of the ocean’s most unpredictable threats — to ships, offshore platforms, and coastal communities. This authoritative volume brings clarity to those hazards, synthesizing contemporary research in wave dynamics, hydrodynamics, and maritime risk assessment.

Combining robust theoretical treatments with laboratory and field perspectives, the book guides readers through the mechanisms that produce extreme waves, state-of-the-art measurement techniques, and numerical modeling approaches. Clear explanations of nonlinear wave interactions, modulational instability, and statistical descriptions make complex concepts accessible to practicing engineers and researchers alike.

Engineered for practical impact, the text emphasizes applications that matter: improving ship and offshore structure design, enhancing wave-forecasting for maritime safety, and informing coastal planning across global hotspots — from the North Atlantic and North Sea to the Pacific, Indian Ocean, and Mediterranean littorals. Whether you are a coastal engineer, oceanographer, naval architect, or graduate student, the insights here translate directly into better risk mitigation and resilient design decisions.

Readable yet rigorous, this 1st edition positions itself as an essential reference on freak waves and rogue-wave phenomena. If you need a comprehensive resource that bridges cutting-edge science with real-world engineering solutions, add Science and Engineering of Freak Waves to your library today — equip yourself to anticipate, design for, and respond to extreme sea states. Order now to advance your understanding of one of oceanography’s most critical challenges.
