A Numerical Hindcast Model for Wave Spectra on Water Bodies with Irregular Shoreline Geometry. Report 1. Test of Nondimensional Growth Rates.

Abstract

A numerical model for wave generation in water bodies of arbitrary shape is described. The new model is a variation of a model previously developed by Barnett (1968). Important differences are the numerical technique, slightly modified source terms and the incorporation of a variable equilibrium range of spectral density. Results for ideal, homogeneous generation situations for growth with nondimensional time and nondimensional duration are examined and compared to those from some previous models. (Author)
