Abstract

This paper presents a model of the waters based on the hydraulic equations. Conditioning the initial values of the equations and solving the equations by finite-difference method, many kinds of waters and waves can be simulated, such as torrents, ripples, tides, the dam breach flood and tidal bores. Rendered examples are given and described.
