Abstract
Particle trajectories under a solitary wave are studied using the high-level Irrotational Green-Naghdi (IGN) equations. The steady IGN equations are solved using the Newton-Raphson method. It is determined that the IGN-2 model provides the converged IGN results of the velocity predictions, and the particle trajectories calculated by the IGN-2 model agree well with the available experimental data.
