| Abstract: | By introducing a tunable coefficient, Zou (1999) derived simplified higher-order Boussinesq equations that improve the prediction of nonlinear wave harmonics in water of intermediate depth. The present study describes a parameter-adaptive model based on Zou's (1999) equations, with enhanced accuracy of the second order harmonics. Thus, the modification to the equation set becomes part of the solution. The model will provide better prediction of wave heights and crest elevations using modest computer resources. | |
