Abstract

In this paper, finite element method is applied for the numerical analysis of wave height distribution. The mild-slope equation is used as the basic equation. The key of this model is to impose the effect of nonlinear waves. Numerical results are presented and agreed well with the results from experimental measurements and other numerical analysis. The present method to determine wave height distribution can be broadly utilized for the analysis of new harbor and port designs in the future.
