In this paper we propose a new model based on a contravariant integral form of the fully non-linear Boussinesq equations (FNBE) in order to simulate wave transformation phenomena, wave breaking, runup and nearshore ...

Experiments of the runup of two solitary waves on a plane beach are carded out in a wave flume. The two solitary waves with the same amplitude and the crest separating distances are generated by using an improved wave...

Generally,tsunami waves become hazardous only when approaching the coast.Studying the runup and inundation of tsunami waves is important for understanding the tsunami evolution and for tsunami hazard assessment.Here,w...
Based on the Navier-Stokes (N-S) equations for viscous, incompressible fluid and the VOF method, 2-D and 3-D Numerical Wave Tanks (NWT) for nonlinear shallow water waves are built. The dynamic mesh technique is ap...
This article develops a new,granular approach to tsunami runup and inundation.The small grains employed here are not fluid,but bits,or balls,of tsunami energy.By careful formulation of the ball accelerations,both wave...
