| Abstract: | Computational highlights from a recently developed high-order Boussinesq model are shown. The model is capable of treating fully nonlinear waves (up to the breaking point) out to dimensionless depths of (wavenumber times depth) kh ≈ 25. Cases considered include the study of short-crested waves in shallow/deep water, resulting in hexagonal/rectangular surface patterns; crescent waves, resulting from unstable perturbations of plane progressive waves; and highly-nonlinear wave-structure interactions. The emphasis is on physically demanding problems, and in each case qualitative and (when possible) quantitative accuracy is demonstrated, reflecting the current state-of-the-art in high-order Boussinesq modeling. | |
