Gravity wave propagation solved through an enhanced SPH method

An SPH method with numerical diffusive terms will be used to simulate 2D gravity waves generated by a wave maker and propagating into a basin. A large number of simulations will be performed for different wave steepness and height-to-depth ratio. To validate the SPH model, the numerical results will be compared with a BEM Mixed-Eulerian-Lagrangian solver. Finally, a measure of numerical damping and shift of wave trains will be provided for different spatial resolutions.
