No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1964–65 to 1971–72; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Fundamental properties of “wave-like” motions in fluids, tidal waves in one-dimensional channels. Surface waves in deep water, phase velocity, dispersion relationship, group velocity. The equations of acoustics, “near field” and “far field” problems, ray theory. Wave propagation in 1-2 and 3 dimensions, in layered and in moving media. Gravity waves in stratified fluids. Second and higher order interactions, radiation stress.
As printed in the 1968–69 to 1971–72 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.
