Review text

This paper shows the numerical consistency of the second-order wave equation and the first-order continuity equation, and analyzes the error between them. This paper also shows that the numerical friction factor appearing in wave equation is of key importance in the numerical solutions and mass conservation of wave equation model. Numerical calculations of tidal waves in rectangular harbor and a quarter annular harbor are made to demonstrate that it is possible to find a proper numerical friction factor with which accurate solutions and satisfactory mass conservation can be achieved by wave equation model.
