| Description: | Technical Report Abstract: A hybrid finite element numerical model (FINITE) is presented that solves a linear mild-slope equation for short-wave propagation. The efficient formulation of the model permits the solution of large problems with relatively small time and memory storage requirements. Although the model solves an equation that is strictly valid only for mild bathymetric variations, the model can provide reasonable answers for problems where there are rapid depth variations (at much lower cost than required by three-dimensional models that are appropriate for problems involving rapid depth variations). The model does not provide a mechanism for energy dissipation, and thus energy loss through wave breaking is simulated by permitting waves to propagate out of the computational region. The program documentation, user guide, and sample problem output, are provided. |
