Abstract

Coastal hydrodynamic analyses are basic for the planning and assessment of activities in that area. An important application of these-analyses is harbour lay-out and location. In this paper, hydrodynamic results of a numerical model based on Boussinesq-type equations are presented in the issue of Computer Aided Harbour Engineering. This model achleves overall second-order accuracy and has efficient modules of pre- and post-processing of information. The model has been used as a CAD tool for the planning and design of Spanish harbours. Its flexibility and economy of operation allow the model to be used, in the future, as a module of a global expert system for CAD harbour lay-out. This global expert system will provide a fully automatic design process. The output of this system will consist in the final optimized harbour configuration, considering all Imposed constraints and requirements.
