About the book:
"Through the chapters of this book, readers are gradually introduced to the development and use of numerical models of different levels of complexity (1D, 2D, 3D). The special value of the book is given by numerous solved examples that accompany the presentation and complete it in terms of better understanding and easier applicability. In each of the accompanying examples, the necessary input data and the results (obtained by original computer codes) are presented in graphical form. Thus, the conditions were created for the conscientious reader to overcome the problem that interests him, at the chosen level. The explanations, which are given by the author with examples, contain a theoretical part and practical recommendations on how to perform the calculation. It is as if the author was guided by the principle "that the hungry should not be given fish, but taught to fish", so he offered explanations that are much broader than those that can usually be found in user manuals of commercial software. At the same time, the complementarity of numerical and physical models in this area was pointed out in a comprehensive way. Considering the content of this book, with its many diagrams, drawings and excellent photographs, it could be said to be a small encyclopedia on ship locks."
