The numerical simulation of tide and storm surge propagation in two-dimensional space using the method of characteristics

The non-linear hyperboIic partial-differential equations governing long-wave propagation in two spatial dimensions are postulated. Through the method of characteristics, specific conditions are developed for integrating the Iong-wave equations. By introducing finite difference approximations to the...
