Abstract
The shallow-water equation has an important role in studying the characteristics of ocean waves. These characteristics were influenced by the depth of the sea. This study simulates ocean waves around the coastal areas with different slopes. The simulation system is a 2-dimensional limited boundary, built using Gmsh software. The calculation uses the Quickersim toolbox for the Matlab environment. The outputs generated from these simulations are the position and speed at any time in 2-dimensions. The simulations results show the 2-dimensional velocity pattern of each waves section. These result can be used in the future research to learn the implementation in tsunami waves.
