Study on Influences of Fringing Reef on Harbor Oscillations Triggered by N-Waves
Influences of topographic variations of the offshore fringing reef on the harbor oscillations excited by incident N-waves with different amplitudes and waveform types are studied for the first time. Both the p...

Numerical study of nonlinear interactions of bi-chromatic progressive deep-water waves
This paper proposes a 3-D non-hydrostatic free surface flow model with a newly proposed general boundary-fitted grid system to simulate the nonlinear interactions of the bi-chromatic deep-water gravity waves. ...

A numerical investigation of interactions between extreme waves and a vertical cylinder
In this paper, the interactions between extreme waves and a vertical cylinder are investigated through a 3-D two-phase flow model. The numerical model is verified and validated by experimental data. Then, two ...

Experimental Investigation on the Extreme Waves Induced by Single Wave Packets in Finite Water Depth
Single Gaussian wave groups with different initial wave steepness ε0 and width N are produced in laboratory in finite depth to study the nonlinear evolution, the extreme events and breaking. The results show that...

A second order volume of fluid (VOF) scheme for numerical simulation of 2-D breaking waves
Among all environmental forces acting on ocean structures and marine vessels, those resulting from wave impacts are likely to yield the highest loads. Being highly nonlinear, transient and complex, a theoretic...

Numerical simulation of the oscillatory flow around two cylinders in tandem
A numerical study on oscillatory flow past two cylinders in tandem is carried out. The Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations are solved using a finite element method (FEM) with a k-ω turbulence closure. The n...
