A finite element method for the solution of a time-dependent nonlinear wave propagation equation

From MaRDI portal





Physical effects such as nonlinear refraction and diffraction of surface waves propagating over gently varying depths, and the capture of backscattered waves associated with wave evolution in coastal regions can be described by weakly nonlinear dispersive scalar equation [\textit{S. Beji} and \textit{K. Nadaoka}, Proc. R. Soc. Lond., Ser. A 453, No. 1957, 319--332 (1997; Zbl 0876.76009)]. Here the authors present a description of a finite element model of this time-dependent nonlinear mild-slope equation, using its variational formulation. The finite element method is used for spatial discretization, while the time integration is carried out via a finite difference predictor-corrector scheme. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1029.00072].
