Wave Fields and Nearshore Currents in the Coastal Region Opposite San Mauro Cilento (Italy)
In this paper in order to simulate nearshore currents in computational domains representing the
complex morphology of real coastal regions we use a model based on a contravariant integral form of the fully
nonlinear Boussinesq equations (FNBE). The contravariant integral form, in which Christoffel symbols are
absent, of the continuity equation does not contain the dispersive term. The Boussinesq equation system is
numerically solved by a hybrid finite volume-finite difference scheme. The wave breaking is represented by
