Fully dispersive nonlinear water wave model in curvilinear coordinates. (English) Zbl 1116.76324

Summary: A vertically integrated fully dispersive nonlinear wave model is expressed in curvilinear coordinates with non-orthogonal grids for the simulation of broad-banded nonlinear random water waves in regions of arbitrary geometry. The transformation is performed for both dependent and independent variables, hence an irregular physical domain is converted into a rectangular computational domain with contravariant velocities. Use of contravariant velocity components as dependent variables ensures easy and accurate satisfaction of the wall condition for lateral enclosures surrounding a physical domain, such as a coastal area, channel, or harbor. The numerical scheme is based on finite-difference approximations with staggered grids which results in implicit formulations for the momentum equations and a semi-explicit formulation for the continuity equation. Linear long wave propagation in a channel of varying cross-section and linear random wave propagation in a circular channel are presented as test cases for comparisons with the corresponding analytical solutions. Cnoidal and Stokes waves in a circular channel are also simulated as examples to nonlinear wave propagation within curved walls.
