One of the examples was the tsunami that occurred in the Indian Ocean on 26 December 2004. This indicates how import
This work focuses on: the physics of the fundamental dynamics of fluids and of semi-immersed Lagrangian solid bodies that are responding to wave-induced loads; the scaling of dimensional equations and boundary value problems, in order to determine a small dimensionless parameter - say, e - that may
