International Workshop on Water Waves and Floating Bodies Proceedings

The International Workshop on Water Waves and Floating Bodies is an annual meeting of engineers and scientists with special interests in water waves, and the effects of waves on floating or submerged vessels.

The Workshop was organized initially by Prof. D.V. Evans, (University of Bristol) and Prof. J. N. Newman (MIT), following informal ad hoc meetings between their research groups in 1984. Initially intended to promote communications between workers in the UK and USA, the interest and participation quickly spread to include other countries. Particular emphasis is given in the organization and conduct of the Workshop to participation by young researchers including post-graduates; inter-disciplinary discussion amongst engineers and scientists; and presentation of preliminary work before it is published elsewhere. Attendance is restricted to the authors of submitted abstracts, which are judged for acceptance by a small committee.

The Proceedings for each Workshop includes an extended abstract of each presentation, and recorded discussions. Proceedings are available online through the cooperation of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects.
