Graduate Student Seminar, 4:00pm September 2, 2002, Hayes-Healy 229
Speaker:
Prof. Dave Nicholls
Title:
Existence and Computation of Traveling Water Waves
Abstract:
The equations of motion for ideal, free-surface fluid flows were written
down more than 150 years ago and have challenged theoreticians and
experimentalists ever since. In this talk we will discuss these equations
and some of the basic theoretical and numerical results for a certain
class of solutions, the traveling wave solutions.
