Benchmark Problem #5

This experiment has a single solitary wave propagating up a triangular shaped shelf with an island feature located at the offshore point of the shelf. Free surface information was recorded via resistance-type wave gauges and sonic wave gages. Velocity information was recorded via ADV's. Note that is the same test case as used during the 2009 ISEC Workshop. Additional information from that workshop can be found here. For reference, a few videos of the lab trials can be seen below:

For this benchmark, we will compare free surface, velocity, and turbulence information recorded throughout the tank.
