Figure 16. Wave Runup and Overtopping calculator
SUMMARY: This note is applicable to the Version 1.0 of BOUSS-2D. Three examples have been
used in this CHETN to illustrate the steps involved in typical application of BOUSS-2D. These
involve modeling waves in a harbor, a jettied inlet and the prediction of wave runup and overtopping
of a sloping coastal structure. Coastal projects may require simulation of many wave conditions and
different grids representing different structures or other modifications as required in the study site.
The users can explore a number of features and capabilities of BOUSS-2D in such cases. Specific
guidance is provided to the users in this CHETN to ensure a solid understanding of the methodology
when applying BOUSS-2D model to different engineering problems. With increasing use of
BOUSS-2D in engineering projects by the community, it is expected that both the model and its
interface will evolve, and the Version 1.0 of BOUSS-2D model and its SMS interface will continue
to undergo future revisions. Feedback and suggestions are welcome from users about design,
implementation, and usage of the present and future versions of BOUSS-2D model.
