Simulation of Wave-Maritime Structure Interactions by Using a Numerical Wave Flume

Article Preview

Abstract:

A numerical wave flume (CADMAS-SURF/2D) developed on the basis of NASA-VOF technique is used to simulate interactions between waves and maritime structures in order to verify its feasibility to maritime structure designs. Examinations and comparisons of the calculated results of wave impacts on typical maritime structures, such as caisson-type and composite breakwaters, with experimental data indicate that the numerical wave flume can be an effective computer aided design tool for the designs of coastal protection structures.
