Title: Modeling surface waves in the ocean
Speaker: John Carter, Department of Mathematics, Seattle University
Time: 3:30--4:30pm, Friday, January 24, 2003
Place: Thomson 134
Abstract:
Ocean waves play an important role in the weather. Wakes trailing from
ferries cause beach erosion. Waves will undoubtedly have an effect on the
"base-sized" floating platform being developed by the Navy. A better
understanding of how wave patterns evolve over large time periods will lead
to more accurate weather prediction, will help reduce waterfront erosion and
may help the Navy build a floating island. In this talk, I will present
results from current experimental and mathematical research examining the
evolution of three-dimensional water waves.
