Abstract
Long waves in coastal areas, when water depth is small compared to the wave length, can be numerically simulated by the resolution of the shallow water equations. The use of a finite element method is then specially well fitted when the shape of the domain to deal with is rather complex, as it often occurs in the field of maritime hydraulics, or when some areas of particular interest require a finer description (entrance of a harbour, for example).
