    Abstract

    A space-time discontinuous Galerkin (DG) finite element method for nonlinear water waves in an inviscid and incompressible fluid is presented. The space-time DG method results in a conservative numerical discretization on time dependent deforming meshes which follow the free surface evolution. The dispersion and dissipation errors of the scheme are investigated and the algorithm is demonstrated with the simulation of waves generated by a wave maker.
