University of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy (UACEG)

The course treats theoretical fundamentals of ocean wind generated waves. Primary emphasis is made on linear water wave theory and its applications, as well as on finite amplitude waves and long waves. Formation of deep-water waves and their transformation by shoaling, refraction and diffraction are also considered. . Mechanics of waves and currents in the nearshore zone: wave breaking, surf zone dynamics, cross and long-shore currents. It also offers knowledge for power nature, amplitude and energy spectra, including one-dimensional and directional spectra, and probability characteristics of waves. Interaction with various hydraulic structures will be considered.
