A numerical method for simulating the complete physics of the fully nonlinear viscous wave generation phenomenon is presented. To accomplish this objective, the motion of a solid body representing the wave generating mechanism is modeled. In this paper, both the piston-type and flap-type wavemakers are simulated and the results of the model are compared with those of the experiments and analytics...
