Welcome to the FUNWAVE homepage. FUNWAVE is a phase-resolving, time-stepping Boussinesq model for ocean surface wave propagation in the nearshore.

The program GEOWAVE, which utilizes FUNWAVE in conjunction with the tsunami source generator code TOPICS to perform simulations of a variety of tsunami types, will henceforth be distributed from this site as well. GEOWAVE is made available by it's developers, Phi Watts, Stephan Grilli and Jim Kirby, and is distributed under the same GNU copyright agreement as the FUNWAVE code. It may be downloaded from the FUNWAVE download page without re-registration. If you are new to this page, please register as a FUNWAVE user in order to obtain either FUNWAVE or GEOWAVE.

NEWS: GEOWAVE has been parallelized for use on MPI clusters by Pophet et al (2009). A parallelized version in spherical coordinates has also been developed and an initial description is provided in Kirby et al (2009) (add reference). We hope to distribute both codes from this source shortly.

An extreme beta version of FUNWAVE 2 is now available as a gzipped tar file from the download page. The code here is based on the curvilinear, staggered grid version of FUNWAVE described in "A fully nonlinear Boussinesq model in generalized curvilinear coordinates" by Shi et al, 2001, Coastal Engineering 42, 337-358. We would be glad to get feedback on people's initial experience with the model, but would not recommend switching completely over to it if you are a consistant FUNWAVE user. This is definitely a beta. The tar file contains

• a noweb file for the source,
• a ps file for document.
• a preprocessor for grid type generation (this will also be available standalone for use with the curvilinear version of SHORECIRC shortly).
• Five examples described in the document.

• FUNWAVE related PUBLICATIONS LIST (send additional references to Jim Kirby )
• FUNWAVE User's Guide
• Go here to download model codes and users manuals after registering above.

• See the page on the Cables Artificial Surfing Reef, which includes an animation of Funwave results describing wave breaking over the reef.
