Abstract

This is a repository of MATLAB code that is used to run the fully nonlinear potential flow MATLAB (FNPFM) model and extract model output for the "Scaling the shape of shoaling and overturning solitary waves" paper by Pick and Feddersen in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics. Use run_surftank_kp.m to run the FNPFM model for your desired surftank setup. Unzip mat.zip, src.zip, tests.zip, and run_functions.zip and ensure that they are in your working directory along with the run_surftank_kp.m script. Example model output .mat files can be found in mat.zip. The latest version includes the implementation of the Dutykh and Clamond (2014) solitary wave solution as the initial solitary wave condition.
