Difracción de Olas Aleatorias en Puertos

Abstract

A mathematical model for computing the wave pattern within a harbor due to irregular (wind) waves is presented. It is based on the generalization of the Berkhofi's monochromatic model through a spectral modes representation. Combined diffiaction, reflection and refraction can be simulated. The details on model implementation, wave spectrum discretization and computational cost are described. An application of the proposed methodology to study harbor layont optimization is shown.
