14. ABSTRACT
BOUSS-2D is a comprehensive numerical model for simulating the propagation and transformation of ocean waves in coastal
regions and harbors. The model is based on depth-integrated Boussinesq-type mass and momentum equations for nonlinear-dispersive
waves. The equations describe most of the wave transformation phenomena of interest in coastal regions and harbors including shoaling,
refraction, diffraction, reflection, nonlinear wave-wave interactions, and wave breaking. This manual describes the theoretical
background behind the model and the steps involved in setting up and running the model.
