Boussinesq

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
