✦ Synopsis

In this work, we are interested in the parabolic formulation of the propagation equation of surface gravity waves in terms of angular capability with respect to the privileged propagation direction. This parabolic formulation is obtained by splitting the Berkhoff equation operator into two parabolic operators representing progressive and reflected wave propagation. The use of the quadratic rational approximation permits to derive simultaneously parabolic equations for transmitted and reflected waves. Two well-known reference examples, which represent the propagation of surface gravity waves when a caustic occurs, will be studied numerically and results will be compared with those of the literature.

The flood and pipe flows can interact at connections between the underground pipes and the street surface. The present paper examines this interaction,

A spatial fixed s-coordinate is used to transform the Navier-Stokes equations from the sea bed to the still water level. In the fixed s-coordinate system only a very small number of vertical grid points are required for the numerical model. The time step for using the spatial fixed s-coordinate is e
