Numerical experiments are developed and performed to evaluate the ability of the Boussinesq model to simulate the propagation of regular waves on a constant depth and on a sloping beach. The computations start from the still water condition.
Given a beach bathymetry with a constant depth or a mildly sloping bottom, the elevation of a grid was defined as the vertical distance from the still water line. Grids located above the still water line have positive elevations while those located below have negative value.
Numerical codes have been succesfully developed include:
Simulation of Non-breaking Regular Wave Propagation on a Constant Depth
Simulation of Non-breaking Regular Wave Propagation on a Sloping Beach up to Breaking Location
Simulation of Breaking Regular Wave Propagation on a Sloping Beach up to Very Shallow Water Depth
Simulation of Non-breaking Regular Wave Runup Propagation on a Sloping Beach
