| Large Amplitude Surface and Internal Waves |
| Organizer: |
| Roger Grimshaw ( Loughborough University, U.K. ) |
| |
| The talks will describe some recent theoretical and modelling results for nonlinear surface water waves and internal waves. The topics covered will include deterministic and random wave fields, the generation and properties of solitary waves, and the effects of bottom topography. |
