Abstract:
There are basically two methods for prediction of
shallow water waves, viz. the graphical method and the
numerical method. The numerical methods are being widely
used, now—a—days, because they are fast, accurate and are
especially useful when the prediction over a large spatial
frame is required. Practically little has been done on the
development of numerical models for the prediction of height
and spectral transformation of waves as applicable to our
coasts. Synchronized deep and shallow water wave measurements
which are essential for study of wave transformation are
very much lacking for our coasts. Under these
circumstances, a comprehensive study of the wave
transformation in the shallow waters of our coast was felt
very important and is undertaken in the present
investigation.
