Modelling an undular bore with B-splines

Modelling an undular bore with B-splines

The development of an undular bore is governed by the regularised long wave equation. A Petrov-Galerkin B-spline finite element method for its solution is set up. The numerical model is validated by showing that it models well the motion of a single solitary wave. The development of an undular bore...

Zusammenfassung:The development of an undular bore is governed by the regularised long wave equation. A Petrov-Galerkin B-spline finite element method for its solution is set up. The numerical model is validated by showing that it models well the motion of a single solitary wave. The development of an undular bore is studied through computer simulation.
