Spatial-spectral Hamiltonian Boussinesq Wave Simulations
نویسنده
چکیده
This contribution concerns a specific simulation method for coastal wave engineering applications. As is common to reduce computational costs the flow is assumed to be irrotational so that a Boussinesq-type of model in horizontal variables only can be used. Here we advocate the use of such a model that respects the Hamiltonian structure of the wave equations. To avoid approximations of the dispersion relation by an algebraic relation that is needed for finite element/difference methods, we propose a spatial-spectral implementation which can model dispersion exactly for all wave lengths. Results with a relatively simple spatial-spectral implementation of the advanced theoretical model will be compared to experiments for harmonic waves and irregular waves over a submerged trapezoidal bar and bichromatic wave breaking above a flat bottom; calculation times are typically less than 25% of the physical time in environmental geometries.

Wave Simulations in Ponce de Leon Inlet Using Boussinesq Model
An improved curvilinear grid model based on fully nonlinear Boussinesq equations is used to simulate wave propagation in Ponce de Leon Inlet, Fla. We employ the nearshore bathymetry of Ponce de Leon Inlet and generate a stretched curvilinear grid that can resolve shortwaves in the nearshore region and fit the complex geometry. Simulations of 18 cases with monochromatic input waves and Texel-Mar...
متن کاملOptimized Variational Boussinesq Modelling; part 1: Broad-band waves over flat bottom
The Variational Boussinesq Model (VBM) for waves above a layer of ideal fluid conserves mass, momentum, energy, and has decreased dimensionality compared to the full problem. It is derived from the Hamiltonian formulation via an approximation of the kinetic energy, and can provide approximate dispersion characteristics. Having in mind a signalling problem, we search for optimal dispersive prope...

متن کاملAn instability index theory for quadratic pencils and applications
Primarily motivated by the stability analysis of nonlinear waves in second-order in time Hamiltonian systems, in this paper we develop an instability index theory for quadratic operator pencils acting on a Hilbert space. In an extension of the known theory for linear pencils, explicit connections are made between the number of eigenvalues of a given quadratic operator pencil with positive real ...
متن کاملSpectral Stability of Stationary Solutions of a Boussinesq System Describing Long Waves in Dispersive Media
We study the spectral (in)stability of one-dimensional solitary and cnoidal waves of various Boussinesq systems. These systems model three-dimensional water waves (i.e., the surface is two-dimensional) with or without surface tension. We present the results of numerous computations examining the spectra related to the linear stability problem for both stationary solitary and cnoidal waves with ...
