In this study, the evolution of the numerical water wave models with the theoretical
background and the governing equations are briefly discussed and a numerical
model MIKE21 BW which can be applied to wave problems in nearshore zone is
presented. The numerical model is based on the numerical solution of the
Boussinesq type equations formulated on time domain. Nonlinearity and frequency
dispersion is included in the model. In order to make comparison between the
results of nonlinear shallow water equations with Boussinesq terms, MIKE21 BW
and NAMIDANCE are applied to the problem of wave propagation in the long
distances and runup on simple and composite slopes. The numerical experiments
are applied to Datç / a Marina and the results are compared to the results of the
physical experiments on wave disturbance in Datç / a Marina. In these comparisons
the reflection characteristics of different coastal boundaries in the harbor area are
tested and the internal parameters in the model are calibrated accordingly. The
numerical model MIKE21 BW is applied to skenderun harbor as a case study. The
input wave parameters are selected from the wave climate study for Iskenderun
Harbor. The model is set up and the agitation inside the harbor is computed
according to four different incoming wave scenarios. The disturbance maps inside
the harbor for different incoming wave scenarios are obtained. The critical regions
v
of the harbor according to disturbance under different wave conditions are
presented and discussed.
