Abstract: The tidal bore at the estuary of the Qiantang River in China is one of the most spectacular bores in the world. Although it is a famous scenic spot, it may cause disasters due to its destructive power. In this paper, a new ...

Abstract: This paper presents a two-dimensional, well-balanced finite-volume model for runup of long waves under nonbreaking and breaking conditions. The model uses a conservative form of the nonlinear shallow-water equations with ...

Abstract: A computational algorithm based on the multiquadric, which is a continuously differentiable radial basis function, is devised to solve the shallow water equations. The numerical solutions are evaluated at scattered collocation ...
