Abstract: | In the present paper, by introducing the effective wave elevation, we transform the extended ellip-
tic mild-slope equation with bottom friction, wave breaking and steep or rapidly varying bottom
topography to the simplest time-dependent hyperbolic equation. Based on this equation and the
empirical nonlinear amplitude dispersion relation proposed by Li et al. (2003), the numerical scheme
is established. Error analysis by Taylor expansion method shows that the numerical stability of
the present model succeeds the merits in Song et al. (2007)'s model because of the introduced
dissipation terms. For the purpose of verifying its performance on wave nonlinearity, rapidly vary-
ing topography and wave breaking, the present model is applied to study: (1) wave refraction and
diffraction over a submerged elliptic shoal on a slope (Berkhoff et al., 1982); (2) Bragg reflection
of monochromatic waves from the sinusoidal ripples (Davies and Heathershaw, 1985); (3) wave
transformation near a shore attached breakwater (Watanabe and Maruyama, 1986). Comparisons
of the numerical solutions with the experimental or theoretical ones or with those of other models
(REF/DIF model and FUNWAVE model) show good results, which indicate that the present model
is capable of giving favorably predictions of wave refraction, diffraction, reflection, shoaling, bottom
friction, breaking energy dissipation and weak nonlinearity in the near shore zone. |
