Nevertheless, the phase of wave creation was found to be very complex. As such, a numerical model based on Boussinesq equations was used to describe water waves generated by local disturbance. This numerical model takes in account the vertical acceleration of the particles and considers higher orders derivate terms previously neglected by Boussinesq, so that in the generation zone, this model can support high relative amplitude of waves.99-100engBoussinesq equationsExperimental analysisLandslidesLong wavesNumerical simulationsSerres equationsComputer simulationFrictionMathematical modelsShock wavesWater wavesTrabalho apresentado em evento10.4203/ccp.76.38Acesso aberto2-s2.0-00369316185808118510418914
