Modeling Ocean Waves in HydroCAD
Modeling Ocean Waves in HydroCAD
(OP)
Hello,
I have a pond that is separated from the ocean via berm. Does anyone know how to model waves overtopping the berm in HydroCAD?
Thanks

If the ocean is overtopping a berm, hydraulic modeling of a pond is probably moot. It is likely that models of coastal flooding ignore depressions such as ponds (they will be filled). Is there a flood study for this area?

You won't be able to model ocean waves with a software like HydroCAD.
If you're not familar with words like wave period, nonbreaking wave, ahallow vs deep water... stay away from this!
Depending what is the scope of the study (and budget $), you might have to use a 2D model to simulate the wave runup action over the berm.

I have some understanding of wave period, nonbreaking wave, ahallow vs deep water. But are there any 2D models that are free?
psmart,
I do not the inflow of the wave and is the reason why I need to model it...
any advice on how to estimate the inflow?
