Curvilinear Boussinesq Model

--It was on TOP 10 of most downloaded articles for 2001, Coastal Engineering

The Curvilinear Boussinesq Model is based on the fully nonlinear Boussinesq equations in generalized curvilinear coordinates. It can be used to calculate waves in complicated domains such as harbors, bays and tidal inlets. It can also make computations more efficient in large nearshore regions by using stretched grids. Details can be found in:
