| Abstract: | This study develops a wave transformation model based on the energy balance equation with a diffraction term derived by Mase (2001). Quadratic upstream interpolation for convective kinematics (QUICK), proposed by Leonard (1979), is employed in order to suppress numerical diffusion separately from the effect of wave diffraction, and Thornton and Guza's (1983) wave breaking model is added. The predictions by the wave model are validated against the Sommerfeld theory and experimental results of Chawla et al. (1998). | |
