The formation of surfable waves in a circular wave pool - Comparison of numerical and experimental approaches

This paper investigates the capability of a numerical approach to address the problem of designing a wave pool. The numerical approach developed has the potential to reduce the number of design alternatives which require testing by eliminating poor performing designs early in the design cycle. For t...
