The present paper makes use of a wave equation formulation of the primitive shallow water equations to simulate one-dimensional free surface flow. A numerical formulation of the boundary element method is then developed to solve the wave continuity equation using a time-dependent fundamental solutio

Abstract
A model of the wave and current boundary‐layer structure was developed using the k–ε turbulent closure model. The finite‐difference method was used to solve the governing equations. Vertical logarithmic grids and equal time steps were adopted. The following modelled simulations were obtained: (1) vertical profiles of wave velocity amplitude, eddy viscosity coefficient and turbulent kinetic energy with waves only; (2) vertical profiles of wave velocity amplitude, mean current velocity, eddy viscosity coefficient and turbulent kinetic energy with waves having a following current. To test the validity and the rationality of the present model, vertical profiles of modelled wave velocity amplitude and mean velocity were compared with corresponding experimental results available in the literature.
