Abstract

A nonlinear dispersive wave model in boundary-fitted coordinates is introduced for practical applications involving complicated lateral geometries. The model is formulated in terms of the contravariant velocity components so that the wall condition on irregular lateral boundaries is satisfied easily and accurately. Test cases involving converging, diverging, and circular channels are considered to check the reliability of the model predictions. Finally, nonlinear wave transformations in an arbitrarily shaped region are simulated as an example to practical applications.
