SUMMARYA numerical technique is presented for the approximation of vertical gradient of the non-hydrostatic pressure arising in the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations for simulating non-hydrostatic freesurface ows. It is based on the Keller-box method that take into account the e ect of non-hydrostatic pressure with a very small number of vertical grid points. As a result, the proposed technique is capable of simulating relatively short wave propagation, where both frequency dispersion and non-linear e ects play an important role, in an accurate and e cient manner. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate this; accurate wave characteristics are already achieved with only two layers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
