Abstract

A numerical model for computing wave propagations between two breakwaters is presented. Each breakwater consists of one or two straight-line segments. Water depth varies in space. The numerical model is based on the parabolic wave equation approach with a boundary-fitted coordinate system. Numerical results are obtained and compared with laboratory experimental data. Good agreement is observed.
