Notes:
We study numerically the linear water wave equations for shallow channels with rapidly varying bottom topography. We do not use the shallow water approximation because it is not valid when the bottom is rapidly varying. We use the boundary element method because it allows accurate tracking of the surface waves for long times. We present the results of a range of numerical validation experiments and a comparison between propagation over a periodic and a random rough bottom topography.
