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 …

The performance of interFoam (a widely used solver within OpenFOAM®) in simulating the
propagation of a nonlinear (stream function solution) regular wave is investigated in this …

In this work, the performance of a buoyancy-modified turbulence model is shown for
simulating wave breaking in a numerical wave flume. Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes …

Marine and aerospace structures are frequently subject to impact loads on wave surface.
The primary aim of this paper is to obtain a fundamental understanding of wave effect on …

This work presents the development of a numerical model for the investigation of lift-based
wave energy converter (lift-WEC) hydrodynamics. The developed model, based on the …

A two-phase flow Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model is employed for both spilling
and plunging breaking wave simulations. A numerical wave tank is built to evaluate the …

Computational fluid dynamics is increasingly used to investigate the inherently complicated
phenomenon of wave breaking. To date, however, no single model has proved capable of …
