Funwave 1.0: Fully Nonlinear Boussinesq Wave Model - Documentation and User's Manual

This report documents the computer program FUNWAVE based on the fully nonlinear Boussinesq model of Wei et al. (1995). The documentation provides a description of the governing equations and the numerical scheme used to solve it. A user's manual is provided and gives instructions on how to use various preprocessors and postprocessors to set up...

Wave Propagation in Shallow Water

The propagation of waves from offshore to onshore is a difficult problem due to the mathematical complexities of the governing equations and the degree of uncertainty of the bathymetry over which the waves must travel. In this lecture, the various methods of transforming offshore wave trains to shallow water are discussed. First, single wave...

Water wave models and wave forces with shear currents

Water wave modeIs, incorporating shear currents, are developed for linear and nonlinear waves. The first model assumes a constant vorticity over the depth of the fluid; the case for a wave propagating on a linear shear current. For greater generality, a second model is presented which assumes that the fluid is composed of two layers, each with a...
