Verification of a PC model for wave diffraction

BELUGA is a mathematical model which has been developed by Booij, Holthuijsen and Tolman in Delft University of Thechnology, to compute wave penetration into a harbour taking diffraction and reflection into consideration. The aim of the model is to provide an efficient numerical method for calculation of a wave field in a relatively large...

A comparison of mathematical models for wave propagation in harbours

A wave entering a harbor will be diffracted and reflected, depending on the shape and the construction of breakwaters, quays and other objects in the harbor. The incoming wave can increase or decrease in height and a resonance can occur. This affects the manouvering of ships and the movement of moored ships, which influences the loading and...
