Title: EXTENDED SHALLOW WATER PREDICTION OF OVERTOPPING
Abstract: An existing numerical model of wave run-up and overtopping based on the shallow water equations (SWE) has been extended to model waves in deeper water using Nwogu’s formulation of the Boussinesq equations. The hybrid model uses a high resolution finite volume method to solve the SWE whulst a fourth-order finite difference method is used to solve the Boussinesq equations. The numerical model has been used to predict wavs eights and overtopping discharges of a series of experiments that focus on violent wave overtopping. The numerical model provided good predictions for the wave heights throughout the domain with a tendencey to slightly under-predict the waves heights near the boundary of the two models. The overtopping discharge volumes calculated by the model over-predict those of the physical experiment.
