Resumen
Mathematical short wave models based on the Boussinesq equations have been shown to be capable of reproducing the combined effects of most of the wave phenomena of interest to the coastal engineer for a relatively low cost. Today, the following phenomena can be taken into account in the most advanced numerical wave models: o Shoaling, refraction, diffraction o Partial reflection from breakwaters o Irregular wave trains o Directional wave input o Wave-wave and wave-current interaction. In this presentation the standard Boussinesq equations will be extended for two different purposes: o To simulate irregular wave propagation from deep to shallow water o To simulate wave-ship interaction in shallow water.
