TLDR
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 as discussed by the authors.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.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the development of a numerical wave flume for practical use in designing maritime structures based on a 2D numerical wave simulation using a NASA-VOF method particularly selected because it can reproduce highly nonlinear wave profiles against various structures, e.g., impact of a breaking wave on a vertical wall.
