Self-adaptive FEM Numerical Modeling of Mild Slope Equation

چکیده
Based on the linear wave theory, the mild-slope equation (MSE) is a preferable mathematical model to simulate the wave propagation nearshore. On the basis of developed self-adaptive finite element model, an interative method is used to determine the wave direction angle to the boundary and to improve the treatment of the boundary conditions. Thus a numerical model to solve MSE is developed in this paper. The numerical results of the waves into rectangular domains and multidirectional waves through a breakwater gap show that the developed numerical model is effective to the totally wave absorption at the absorbing boundaries and can be used to simulate the multidirectional wave propagation.

Numerical Modeling of Extended Mild Slope Equation with Modified Mac Cormack Method
The transformation of waves is one of the important subjects in coastal engineering studies. Refraction, diffraction, shoaling, reflection can be analysed with the mild slope equation over mild sloped topographies. But the extended mild slope equation can be applied to the rapidly varying topographies since it includes higher order bottom effects such as square of bottom slope and bottom curvat...
