An Euler Solver for Nonlinear Water Waves Using a Modified Staggered Grid and Gaussian Quadrature Approach

A structured, finite-volume Euler solver for non-hydrostatic, free surface flows is developed to simulate coastal nonlinear dispersive water waves. A semi-implicit projection method which splits the pressure term into hydrostatic and non-hydrostatic parts is employed. A vertically shifted, staggered...
