Numerical investigation of wave–structure interaction using OpenFOAM [PDF]

Ocean Engineering, 2014
The present work is focused on the assessment of how OpenFOAM performs when applied to non-linear wave interactions with offshore structures for ranges of wave conditions. New modules have been further extended to advance the wave generation and wave absorbing capabilities of the code. The numerical results for wave interactions with a vertical surface

Water depth influence on wave–structure-interaction

Ocean Engineering, 2009
For seakeeping model tests and the experimental investigation of offshore operations the water depth is a parameter which is difficult to adjust to a particular problem and scale. It poses a limit for the feasibility of model tests by governing the model scale-especially in small testing facilities. Therefore, it is often desirable to violate or ignore

Nonlinear Effect on Wave-Structure Interaction

Volume 5: Ocean Engineering; CFD and VIV, 2012
Accurate prediction on the behaviour of the nonlinear waves in a coastal environment is vital to the safe design and performance of coastal defence. This paper is concerned with the description of tsunami wave-island interaction, and includes both linear and nonlinear modelling of the maximum free surface motion arising within distorted flow field.

Nonlinear water-wave structure interaction

Computers & Structures, 1992
Abstract A numerical model of the interaction of highly deformable fluid-filled membranes and ocean waves has been developed and verified. The fluid domain is modeled using a boundary element model and the membrane is modeled using a finite element model. The finite element model was developed previously, and required little modification.

Experimental Investigation of Wave Structure Interactions

GSTF Journal of Engineering Technology, 2013
In the present work, physical models have been built to experimentally investigate the wave structure interactions. The paper is focusing on the effects of wave overtopping on wave reflection and wave forces at a seawall. The tests are implemented in the laboratory of the Coastal Engineering Research Center, the University of Queensland.

Nonlinear interactions in slow-wave structures

Nonlinear Guided Waves and Their Applications, 2002
Nonlinear interactions in coupled resonator slow-wave structures are investigated. Kenbased phase modulation and wavelength conversion by four-wave-mixing result strongly enhanced thanks to both the increase of the intra-cavity mean power and the interaction time between propagating fields.

Wave–structure interaction: simulation driven by quantitative imaging

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2004
Summary: We present a new approach to simulating wave-structure interaction dynamics using proper orthogonal decomposition by directly employing eigenmodes extracted from particle image velocimetry experimental data. A low-dimensional Galerkin model is constructed incorporating up to 12 modes and time-dependent boundary conditions.

On the role of uncertainty for the study of wave–structure interaction

Coastal Engineering, 2015
Abstract We present a methodology to quantify the breakwater failure by means of the partial coupling of a nonlinear wave transformation model and a structural dynamic model. Nonlinear wave transformation is simulated by a two-dimensional VOF-type model (Cornell Breaking Wave and Structures), which solves the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS ...

Wave-Structure Interaction In Offshore Platforms

Offshore Technology Conference, 1969
ABSTRACT The analysis of the complex interaction of wave forces and structural response is in its very early stages of development. Formulating the equation of motion for the structure under the action of wave forces involves the following uncertain parameters: [1] virtual water mass, which is a function of the ...
