In this paper, an improved volume of fluid (VOF) technique has been used to test numerical simulation of breaking waves against a vertical wall seated on a structural foundation. Laitone's second order solitary wave theory is used as the initial conditions. When no foundation is present, the run up of a solitary wave on a vertical wall for a range of H/d agrees well with the experimental data. The phenomena of wave breaking, such as wave steepening, overturning and formulation of bores, have been successfully simulated by an improved VOF method. Very high intensity shock pressure and wave impact force on the vertical wall are also obtained.read more

Numerical and Experimental Study of Large Steam-Air Bubbles Injected in a Water Pool
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a computer simulation program for the hydrodynamics of the process using an isothermal piecewise linear interface construction-volume of fluid method and carried out an experiment with flow rates up to 50 l/s into a tank of 1 m3 volume.

Wave impact forces on mixed breakwaters
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of a solitary wave on a mixed breakwater is experimentally and numerically studied, using a 2D nonlinear potential flow model, and free surface profiles, internal velocities, instantaneous pressure and pressure envelope on the wall, and on the berm, are analyzed based on both measurements and calculations.

A three-dimensional coupled numerical model of nonlinear waves in a harbor
TL;DR: A 3D time-domain numerical coupled model for nonlinear waves acting on a ship in a harbor has been developed in this paper, where the whole domain is divided into the inner domain and the outer domain.
