| Popis: | The runup of breaking and non-breaking solitary waves on a plane beach has been simulated using the shallow-water equations and a Lagrangian blocks on Eulerian mesh (LBEM) method. The results obtained for the entire range of wave steepness are compared with the experimental data, the nonlinear theory, and the finite-difference method. The LBEM simulation agrees with the nonlinear theory when the amplitude of the wave is small. On the whole, it produces a better result in agreement with the experimental data when friction is included in the simulation. The simulation also produced better result than the finite-difference simulation. |
