Additional Capabilities of the Unified Waves Model

Abstract

The initial report on the 'unified waves model' describes a procedure to compute water wave propagation over long distances accurately at low cost, and for a wide variety of physical situations. This report outlines recent developments that extend its capabilities. These involve: (1) inclusion of a variable depth, (2) addition of a wavemaker, and (3) the ability to send steady nonuniform flows through the computational domain. Examples of calculations employing the new capabilities are given. Waterwaves, Steady nonuniform flow Unified waves model, Nonlinear, Variable depth, Wavemaker.
