Discusses the subject of wave/current flow around a cylinder, the forces induced on the cylinder by the flow, and the vibration pattern of slender structures in a marine environment. This book aims is to describe the flow pattern and the resulting load which develops when waves or current meet a cylinder.

A study of local scour around different kinds of marine structures exposed to waves and/or currents. The first, major part of the work is devoted to marine pipelines. Other kinds of structures considered are single piles, groups of piles, complex sub-sea structures, breakwaters, and seawalls.

Aiming to describe from a deterministic point of view the sediment transport in the general wave-current situation, the book is divided into two parts, the first treating flow and turbulence in combined wave-current, the second the sediment transport as a result of the wave-current action.
