Point structures

Two approaches have been developed for taking into account the effect of point structures:

·         Source term approach

·         Convective flux approach

The source term approach takes the effects of the structures into account by introducing a decay term to reduce the wave energy behind the structure. This formulation is only accurate when the energy decay is limited and the reflection of the wave energy is not taken into account. The convective flux approach is based on a correction of the convective flux term in geographical space.

Depending on the choice of property page you can either specify detailed information for the structures or see a geographic view.
