Abstract: This project work involves setting up a mathematical model using MIKE 21 BW software. MIKE 21 BW is based on the numerical solution of time domain formulations of Boussinesq type equations. For the simulation, a two-Dimensional Boussinesq wave module has been used. Mathematical model studies were carried out for assessment of wave tranquility inside the port basin at Kamarajar port, Tamil Nadu. The Port has developed terminals through private sector participation to handle liquids, coal and iron ore. To meet the growing demand in the hinterland and trade, Kamarajar Port has plan for expansion of port facilities. The model simulation is carried out to ascertain the wave disturbance and surface elevation inside the harbour basin for a predominant wave direction. The model set up is successful in obtaining the model results pertaining to wave tranquility. Wave heights at all the berthing locations are within the permissible tranquility limit for the incident wave direction.
