Open full text 1 citations

Abstract

Through the rapid progress of computer technology, direct wave simulation techniques using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) have been applied to practical problems in coastal, port and harbor engineering. A numerical wave flume, which is one of the representative direct simulation techniques, has been expected to substitute for hydraulic model tests.In this paper, wave transformation of bore on a reef, sand spit and lagoon is computed by the numerical wave flume. The applicability of numerical wave flume is examined through comparisons of numerical results with experimental ones.
