This concise but useful volume is a publication of the Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI) in Amsterdam, and it is a record of research conducted by its author between 1997 and 2001 while a member of the Modelling, Analysis and Simulation group at CWI. The work contains six chapters, and after a brief introduction the second chapter introduces and describes free-surface flows and appropriate surface conditions. The third chapter presents an analysis of viscous free-surface flows including surface gravity waves, perturbations and the behavior of solutions. The fourth chapter examines efficient numerical schemes for the solution of steady free-surface flows, including time integration methods and some discussion of iterative methods, convergence and computational complexity, and it finishes with the results of some numerical experiments. Chapter five considers the interesting topic of adjoint shape optimization for steady free-surface flows, including Fourier methods and preconditioning, and it also concludes with the results of some numerical experiments. Chapter six, the final chapter, examines interface capturing, pressure oscillations, a modified Osher scheme for two-fluids, and summarizes some numerical results. The volume, which is clearly written and contains a useful bibliography, is to be recommended to all who have interests in viscous free-surface flows.
