A. Professor: Yang-Yih Chen

B. Course Summary:

     a. Description to Eulerian and Lagrangian system.

     b. Feature description for regular progressive gravity waves and standing wave flow field.

     c. Dynamic properties of regular progressive gravity waves and standing wave flow field.

     d. Shoaling and refraction of regular progressive gravity waves when through deep sea to shallow sea.

     e. Phenomenon and statistics of irregular waves in real sea surface.

     f. Storms theory.

     g. Storms forecast, including seasonal storms and storm waves.

     h. Coastal engineering planning and design.

C. Course Goal:

        Enable students to understand the source of impact and maintenance on the coast, and let them realize and master coastal environment by quantify analytical way using nature’s power, and estimate previously about may-be-doing coastal engineering, in order to achieve the goal of sustainable development and conservation, and pass through generations.
