Mohapatra, S.C., Fonseca, R.B. and Guedes Soares, C. (2016) , “A comparison between analytical and numerical simulations of solutions of the coupled Boussinesq equations”, Maritime Technology and Engineering 3, Guedes Soares, C. & Santos T.

The numerical simulations between the mathematical and numerical model of solitary wave solutions of the coupled Boussinesq equations are compared over variable/constant water depths. A brief description on the mathematical and numerical model is presented. The input values of Mohapatra and Guedes Soares (2015) for surface elevation and velocity profiles are used in MIKE 21 BW model. The simulations for surface and velocity profiles of the solitary wave solutions are compared with variable depths. It is observed that the surface and velocity profile results are very similar in nature and good in their peak values. Further, the velocity profiles of the coupled/generalized coupled Boussinesq equations are compared against analytical solutions. It is observed that the results are close to the analytical results, but there is a constant time lag between the analytical and the MIKE 21 BW model.
