Information on a lecture-note issue

by

Johannes Falnes

(Department of Physics, NTNU, Trondheim, 2002. [Internet issue 2010.] )

This 119-page soft-bound volume is [was until 2010] available from  

Institutt for fysikk, NTNU, NO-7491 Trondheim, Norway,

for a price of NOK 100

In the Preface of his textbook Ocean Waves and Oscillation Systems: Linear interactions including wave-energy extraction (Cambridge University Press, 2002, ISBN 0-521-78211-2) Johannes Falnes states i.a.:

"The present book is mainly based on lecture notes from a postgraduate university course on water waves and extraction of energy from ocean waves, which I have taught many times since 1979. For the purposes of this book, I have selected those parts of the subject which have more general interest, rather than those parts of my course which pertain to wave-power conversion in particular. I hope that the book is thus of interest to a much wider readership than just the wave-energy community."

The leftover parts of his lecture notes are collected in an issue entitled "Topics on Extraction of Ocean-Wave Energy". These parts are simply copied from his previous lecture notes, made available in 1993 as a two-volume work entitled "Theory for extraction of ocean-wave energy". On the copied pages, he has (between lines) written (by hand) references to chapters, sections and equations in his above-mentioned textbook.

Additional information is given in the preface and in the list of contents for the lecture-notes 2002 issue. The preface and list of contents may be seen by clicking here.
