| Abstract: | A curvilinear non-hydrostatic model based upon the Navier-Stokes equations is developed to simulate wave propagation and transformation. An implicit method with a domain-decomposition strategy is employed. At the top-layer, an integral approach is used to takes the full effects of non-hydrostatic pressure into account. Through a series of numerical experiments, it is demonstrated that the model using a small number of vertical layers is capable of effectively simulating the deep-water and shall-water wave propagation. The model is applied to simulate wave propagation in a gradually converging-diverging and a circular channel. Efficiency and accuracy of the model is discussed. | |
