This book was published in 2004. The Interaction of Ocean Waves and Wind describes in
detail the two-way interaction between wind and ocean waves and shows how ocean waves …

This book is an extended and substantially updated edition of the previous book editions
published in 1996 and 2013 under the same title. The 3rd edition is a one-volume, modern …

Assuming linear wave theory for waves riding on a weak current of 0 (ε) compared to the
wave phase speed, an approximate dispersion relation is developed to 0 (ε2) for arbitrary …

The mechanisms governing the evolution of the wind-wave field in time and in space are not
yet fully understood. Various theoretical approaches have been offered to model wind-wave …

There is extensive literature on the stability of parallel two-phase flow, both in the context of
liquid-liquid as well as gas-liquid flow. Aimed at making this literature more transparent, this …

In this paper, we study the linear stability of a two-dimensional shear flow of an air layer
overriding a water layer of finite depth. The air layer is considered to be of an infinite extent …

Waves that occur at the interface of a thin, horizontal liquid film sheared by a concurrent
turbulent gas flow are investigated. Observations using liquids in the range of 13–15 cP …

We consider the linear stability of an inviscid parallel shear flow of air over water with gravity
and capillarity. The velocity profile in the air is monotonically increasing upwards from the …

This paper describes a Chebyshev collocation method for solving the eigenvalue problem
that governs the stability of parallel two-phase flow. The method is based on the expansion …

We investigate experimentally the early stage of the generation of waves by a turbulent wind
at the surface of a viscous liquid. The spatio-temporal structure of the surface deformation is …
