Long-crested wave generation and absorption for SPH-based DualSPHysics model
Corrado Altomare,José M. Domínguez,Alejandro J. C. Crespo,José González-Cao,Tomohiro Suzuki,Moncho Gómez-Gesteira,Peter Troch +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a fully comprehensive implementation of wave generation and active wave absorption for second-order longcrested monochromatic and random waves in a WCSPH-based (Weakly Compressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics) model.

Large impulsive forces on recurved parapets under non-breaking waves. A numerical study
Myrta Castellino,Paolo Sammarco,Alessandro Romano,Luca Martinelli,Piero Ruol,Leopoldo Franco,P. De Girolamo +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe 2D numerical simulations of velocity and pressure fields generated by non-breaking waves on a vertical breakwater with a recurved parapet wall.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved relaxation zone method in SPH-based model for coastal engineering applications
Corrado Altomare,Bonaventura Tagliafierro,José M. Domínguez,Tomohiro Suzuki,Giacomo Viccione +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, an improved Relaxation Zone (RZ) method has been implemented in the meshless SPH-based DualSPHysics model, where the movement of the fluid particles is controlled by correcting their orbital velocity by means of a weighting function in a specified generation area.

On the accuracy of DualSPHysics to assess violent collisions with coastal structures
José González-Cao,Corrado Altomare,Alejandro J. C. Crespo,José M. Domínguez,Moncho Gómez-Gesteira,Dogan Kisacik +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the accuracy of DualSPHysics and IHFOAM to reproduce the propagation of a regular wave train and its collision with a vertical sea wall with a hanging horizontal cantilever slab was compared by different metrics (skill index, normalized standard deviation, correlation coefficient and root mean square error).

Journal ArticleDOI
Water-wave impact on walls
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the results of theoretical work, making particular note of the value of considering pressure impulse, and highlight the aspects that are poorly understood, including the role of entrained and trapped air in wave impacts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Violent breaking wave impacts. Part 1: Results from large-scale regular wave tests on vertical and sloping walls
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of entrained and entrapped air on wave impacts are investigated and the characteristics of the impacts depend on the breaker conditions and four different types of impact are identified and discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wave impact pressure on vertical walls under breaking waves of various types
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the physics and characteristics of impact pressure due to collisions of breaking waves against a vertical wall and found that when a small amount of air is entrapped between the breaking wave and the wall at the collision, the impact pressure increases considerably.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deep-water plunging wave pressures on a vertical plane wall
E. S. Chan,W. K. Melville +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a systematic study of the impact pressure on a vertical wall resulting from controlled, plunging waves in deep water, and they show that impact occurs through the focusing of the incident wave front onto the wall, trapping some amount of air in the process.
