Numerical Simulation on Wave Force Acting on the Hollow Blocks

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to study the wave force acting on the hollow blocks structures locating at the permeable foundation under the regular wave flume, the wave tank is established basing on improved N-S Equations. And the moving boundary’s generating wave and wave absorption of momentum source are adopted in the numerical wave flume. It can also be simulated permeable foundation by porous media module. Then mathematical model can be constructed under the interaction between waves and hollow block when PISO is used to couple velocity and pressure fields. At the same time, the numerically calculated results of the wave force acting on the hollow blocks are compared with the experimental data in agreement. In conclusion, the variation of the wave force with incident wave height and period is obtained through the numerical calculation.
