Abstract

CANWA (Comparative Analytical Numerical Wave Algorithm), written in MATLAB, provides a fast, direct comparison of a general finite volume solution to the 1+1 shallow water wave equations with a robust analytical solution recently presented by Nicolsky et al. (2018). The implementation of the method for data projection, introduced in Nicolsky et al. (2018), solves the initial value problem produced by the Carrier-Greenspan transformation, allows for highly accurate simulations of waves with nonzero initial velocities. Additionally, an L2 analysis of error grants a comparison of solutions across the entire spatial domain. Simulations of both solitary and N-waves reveal that the numerical method consistently yields larger inundation zones than the analytical solution.
