Learning Outcomes
The primary objectives of the course are:
- to give an overview of the coastal and estuarine environments;
- to revise key material on the behaviour of real fluids;
- to discuss the theoretical representation of fluid turbulence;
- to develop a basic understanding of tides;
- to present and review oscillatory wave theory;
- to examine the effects of waves and currents on structures; and
- to relate wave and tide theory to the design of coastal works and the management of the coastal environment.
