Boussinesq Modelling of Solitary Wave Propagation, Breaking, Runup and Overtopping
نویسندگان
چکیده
A one-dimensional hybrid numerical model is presented of a shallow-water flume with an incorporated piston paddle. The hybrid model is based on the improved Boussinesq equations by Madsen and Sørensen (1992) and the nonlinear shallow water equations. It is suitable for breaking and non-breaking waves and requires only two adjustable parameters: a friction coefficient and a wave breaking parameter. The applicability of the model is demonstrated by simulating laboratory experiments of solitary waves involving runup at a plane beach and overtopping of a laboratory seawall. The predicted free surface profiles, maximum runup and overtopping volumes agree very well with the measured values.

Finite volume schemes for dispersive wave propagation and runup
Finite volume schemes are commonly used to construct approximate solutions to conservation laws. In this study we extend the framework of the finite volume methods to dispersive water wave models, in particular to Boussinesq type systems. We focus mainly on the application of the method to bidirectional nonlinear, dispersive wave propagation in one space dimension. Special emphasis is given to ...

In this paper, we focus on the implementation and verification of an extended Boussinesq model for surf zone hydrodynamics in two horizontal dimensions. The time-domain numerical model is based on the fully nonlinear Boussinesq equations. As described in Part I of this two-part paper, the energy dissipation due to wave breaking is modeled by introducing an eddy viscosity term into the momentum ...
متن کاملRotational surf zone modeling for Oðl4Þ Boussinesq–Green–Naghdi systems
A surf zone model is developed and tested based on the Oðl4Þ Boussinesq–Green–Naghdi system of Zhang et al. (2013). Because the model is fundamentally rotational, it uses fewer ad hoc assumptions than are found in many Boussinesq breaking wave systems. Eddy viscosity is used to describe both breaking dissipation and bottom friction, with breaking viscosities derived from the turbulent kinetic e...

In this paper, a moving boundary technique is developed to investigate wave runup and rundown with depth-integratedequations. Highly nonlinear and weakly dispersive equations are solved using a high-order finite difference scheme. An eddyviscosity model is adopted for wave breaking so as to investigate breaking wave runup. The moving boundary technique utilizeslinear extrapolation t...
متن کاملBOUSSINESQ MODELING OF WAVE TRANSFORMATION , BREAKING , AND RUNUP . I : 1 D By Andrew
Parts I and II of this paper describe the extension and testing of two sets of Boussinesq-type equations to include surf zone phenomena. Part I is restricted to 1D tests of shoaling, breaking, and runup, while Part II deals with two horizontal dimensions. The model uses two main extensions to the Boussinesq equations: a momentum-conserving eddy viscosity technique to model breaking, and a ‘‘slo...
