Thanks! The bulkapocatherapy site is the one I ended up with also.
I'm very familiar with numerical modeling and FEA but I don't have access to the tools. Interesting idea to reach out to the local universities to see if I can get them interested.

The scale of the system is such that the viscosity will play a significant role. Specifically, if my concerns are true, the positive and negative waves will cause water to overflow on one side and expose the corals on the other line with every cycle. The viscosity will change the wave shape, height and the propagation speed.

To put it in context, I'm looking at a wave traveling 32 feet in the real system modeled with 11 feet in the model.
