A notable feature of the model is the Eulerian-Lagrangian treatment of advective terms, which enables the use of potentially very large Courant numbers. Results show acceptable agreement with data for case A, but increasingly poorer agreement for cases B and C, as the physics of the laboratory experiments deviates increasingly from shallow water conditions.
Formal analysis helps illustrate the impact of x and t on the numerical accuracy of the model.
