Increasing urbanization and population growth have brought attention to urban
microclimates in recent years. The study on urban microclimate and its impact on the built …

This paper reviews research in ocean engineering over the last 50+ years with the aim to (I)
understand the technological challenges and evolution in the field,(II) investigate whether …

This paper aims at providing a state-of-the-art review on the applications of particle methods
in hydrodynamics-related problems in ocean and coastal engineering. The problems are …

In previous computational fluid dynamics studies of breaking waves, there has been a
marked tendency to severely over-estimate turbulence levels, both pre-and post-breaking …

Violent fluid oscillations occur inside narrow gaps between closely side-by-side structures,
threating the safety of the operations. In the current study, fluid resonance in the gap …

For the research and development (R&D) of wave energy converters (WECs), numerical
wave tanks (NWTs) provide an excellent numerical tool, enabling a cost-effective testbed for …

A new three-dimensional numerical wave tank is developed for the calculation of wave
propagation and wave hydrodynamics by solving the incompressible Navier–Stokes …

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 …

In this paper and its companion (Higuera et al., 2014--this issue), the latest advancements
regarding Volume-averaged Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (VARANS) are developed …

In the present work, the OpenFOAM® newly developed wave generation and active
absorption boundary condition presented in the companion paper (Higuera et al., submitted …
