Non-linear behaviour of water waves has recently drawn much attention of
scientists and engineers in the fields of oceanography, applied
mathematics, coastal engineering, ocean engineering, naval architecture,
and others. The IUTAM Symposium on Non-linear Water Waves was organized
with the aim of bringing together researchers who are actively studying
non-linear water waves from various viewpoints. The papers contained in
this book are related to the generation and deformation of non-linear
water waves and the non-linear interaction between waves and bodies.
That is, various types of non-linear water waves were analyzed on the
basis of various well-known equations, experimental studies on breaking
waves were presented, and numerical studies of calculating second-order
non-linear wave-body interaction were proposed.
