A Harbor Resonance Numerical Model with Reflecting, Absorbing and Transmitting Boundaries (original) (raw)

Background:A very important aspect in the planning and design of a harbor is to determine the response of the harbor basin to incident waves. Many previous investigators have studied various aspects of the harbor resonance problem, though correct to a certain extent, have some disadvantages.Objective:To calculate wave response in an offshore or coastal harbor of arbitrary shape, this research develops a two-dimensional linear, inviscid, dispersive, hybrid finite element harbor resonance model using conservation of energy approach. Based on the mild-slope wave equation, the numerical model includes wave refraction, diffraction, and reflection. The model also incorporates the effects of variable bathymetry, bottom friction, variable, full or partial absorbing boundaries, and wave transmission through permeable breakwaters.Methods:Based on the mild-slope wave equation, the numerical model includes wave refraction, diffraction, and reflection. The model also incorporates the effects of ...
