Hs. Zhang et al., Numerical simulation of non-linear wave propagation in waters of mildly varying topography with complicated boundary, CHINA O ENG, 15(1), 2001, pp. 37-52
In this paper, the characteristics of different forms of mild slope equatio
ns for non-linear wave are analyzed, and new non-linear theoretic models fo
r wave propagation are presented, with non-linear terms added to the mild s
lope equations for non-stationary linear waves and dissipative effects cons
idered. Numerical simulation models are developed of non-linear wave propag
ation for waters of mildly varying topography with complicated boundary, an
d the effects are studied of different non-linear corrections on calculatio
n results of extended mild slope equations. Systematical numerical simulati
on tests show that the present models can effectively reflect non-linear ef
fects.
