... ABSTRACT The shallow-water wave equations of Boussinesq type are used to simulate the ship waves at subcritical, transcritical, and supercritical speeds. An implicit difference method based on the CrankNicholson scheme is applied for the time and space discretization.
From page 602...
... A slender-body theory along with the technique of asymptotic expansions is applied to approximate the flow generated by the hull. Both calculated integral quantities, such as wave resistance, sinkage and trim, as well as field quantities, such as wave profiles in the tank, are compared with those from recent measurements in the Duisburg Shallow Water Tank.
From page 603...
... The application of the above shallow-water wave equations to ship waves is some what restricted by the assumption of small ratio it. Since all possible wave lengths are present in a ship wave pattern this assumption is not satisfied for wave components of small wave length, i.e., it violates the dispersion law of waves of small wave length.

... at the transcritical speed range, and finally by a slow drop in the supercritical range. Representative wave patterns in these three speed ranges are visualized as density plots in Fig.

... CONCLUSIONS An implicit difference method based on the CrankNicholson scheme was implemented to approximate the shallow-water wave equations of Boussinesq type. To simulate the wave generation by a slender ship in a shallow-water channel the technique of matched asymptotic expansions was applied.

... In finite depth water or shallow water, the mechanisms that influence the sea surface, including its homogeneity or inhomogeneity, become more complex than the associated deep water mechanisms. In the former case, water depth becomes important, and is not only functionally related to spatial gradients, per se, but water depth is also functionally related to temporal changes, which are dictated by appropriate formulations for the nonlinear source function and wave breaking dissipation.
From page 614...
... Recently, [17] developed a shallow water wave model, which is based on Wave interactions, the so called 'quasi-resonant interactions'.
From page 615...
... Finally, when the 4-wave interactions become coupled with wave interactions and when the waves are very steep and the angular propagation spread is very narrow, the three-dimensional wave-wave interactions may dominate even in deep water [31,193. In conclusion, shallow water Sn' is far more complicated than deep water Sn`.

... 1 is the only observed data for this hurricane event available to us. A detailed modeling of this storm must involve high-quality "ridded wind fields for the northwest Atlantic, time-series of observed wave spectra for the entire storm, from sites in shallow water as well as deep water, and implementation of the wave model for a reasonably fine-mesh grid (20km or better, for a mesoscale event such as this hurricane)
From page 617...
... , Wave interactions decrease with decreasing water depth. Therefore, the wavelength of these shallow water waves, in case 2, should be shorter than that of the hurricane case, in case 1.

... 1 from the hurricane storm are not generated locally in the shallow water of the duck site. These swell waves propagate from deep water in the Orson ocean far from Duck, where they are generated during the active hurricane growth and evolution stages.
From page 619...
... In any case, the alternate theory, which suggests that 4 wave interactions increase rapidly with decreasing water depth, cannot tune to both cases. 4 Conclusions Our new coastal wave model was shown to agree well with the observed data for both the hurricane storm and the winter storm cases of this study, with respect to peak frequency and wave height.
