Description:The Green-Naghi equations are shallow water equations that can be solved to predict the nonlinear-effects of water waves propagating in shallow waters. In this study, the authors derive the Green-Naghdi equations for variable bathymetry and formulate the numerical model as a boundary- value problem. A finite-difference model, in conjunction with grid-generation, is developed to solve the Green- Naghdi equations. Nonlinear wave propagation over a varying bathymetry is presented for solitary and cnoidal waves.
