In September 2006, research leaders in the field of coastal engineering, fluid mechanics, and wave theory met at Cornell University to celebrate the 60th birthday of Prof. Philip L-F Liu. This volume is a compilation of the research papers presented at the symposium, and includes both review and new research papers. Topics such as nonlinear wave theory, tsunamis, wave-structure interaction, turbulence, and modeling of complex sediment transport are discussed in this volume. All of the contributing authors are research collaborators of Prof. Liu, and include leaders in coastal engineering such as Maarten Dingemans, Hwung-Hweng Hwung, Nobu Kobayashi, Inigo Losada, Hocine Oumeraci, Costas Synolakis, and Harry Yeh.

This book covers recent trends and applications of nonlinear dynamics in various branches of society, science, and engineering. The selected peer-reviewed contributions were presented at the International Conference on Nonlinear Dynamics and Applications (ICNDA 2022) at Sikkim Manipal Institute of Technology (SMIT) and cover a broad swath of topics ranging from chaos theory and fractals to quantum systems and the dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic. Organized by the SMIT Department of Mathematics, this international conference offers an interdisciplinary stage for scientists, researchers, and inventors to present and discuss the latest innovations and trends in all possible areas of nonlinear dynamics.

This symposium brought together mechanicians, physicists and applied mathematicians to discuss the interdisciplinary topic of nonlinear wave motion, which displays effects that give rise to a multitude of unanswered questions. Nonlinear waves in fluids in particular display all the prominent nonlinear phenomena such as chaos, turbulence and pattern formation. Amongst the topics emphasized in these proceedings are: travelling fronts, solitary waves and periodic waves (dissipative and conservative); temporal and spatial asymptotics of perturbations of waves; bifurcations, stability and local dynamics of waves; interaction between different waves, and between waves and the mean flow; wave breaking, nonlinear effects on focussing and diffraction; modulation and envelope equations (their derivation and validity); and numerical and experimental results.
