Properties🔗

• Solitary wave

Model equations🔗

The wave height is modelled by the equation:

\[\eta = H \left[ \mathrm{sech} \sqrt{\frac{3}{4} \frac{H}{h} \frac{x - c t}{h}}\right]^2\]

Where:

\(H\)

wave height

\(h\)

water depth

\(c\)

wave celerity

\(t\)

time

Default model coefficients🔗

Usage🔗

Inlet patch example

<patch>
