• Numerical Solution of Boussinesq Equations as a Model of Interfacial-wave Propagation
L.H. Wiryanto
Abstract. A model of interfacial-wave propagation is solved numerically based on one-dimensional time domain Boussinesq equations, using a predictor-corrector method. The numerical procedure is able to show the effect of non-linearity of the model by observing the wave speed of solitary waves. The procedure is then used to simulate the wave propagation generated, on the left boundary, by a sinusoidal function.
