TL;DR: In this paper, the absorbed numerical wave flume developed based on the volume of fluid (VOF) method was investigated for nonlinear interaction between surface waves and a submerged horizontal plate.
Abstract: Nonlinear interaction between surface waves and a submerged horizontal plate is investigated in the absorbed numerical wave flume developed based on the volume of fluid (VOF) method. The governing equations of the numerical model are the continuity equation and the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations with the k-e turbulence equations. Incident waves are generated by an absorbing wave-maker that eliminates the waves reflected from structures. Results are obtained for a range of parameters, with consideration of the condition under which the reflection coefficient becomes maximal and the transmission coefficient minimal. Wave breaking over the plate, vortex shedding downwave, and pulsating flow below the plate are observed. Time-averaged hydrodynamic force reveals a negative drift force. All these characteristics provide a reference for construction of submerged plate breakwaters.

TL;DR: In this paper , multiple three and two-dimensional Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic (SPH) models are used to study the numerical convergence of free-surface elevation solutions for various initial interparticle distances, domain locations along the flume and vicinity of the structure, and unbroken and broken wave flow conditions.
