A second-order volume-of-fluid method (VOF) is presented for interface tracking and sharp
interface treatment on general structured grids. Central to the new method is a second-order …

In this paper, a coupled volume-of-fluid (VOF) and level set (LS) method on general
curvilinear grids, combining the advantages of VOF method and LS method is developed for …

The measurements of airborne and underwater noise radiated by a Griffon BHT130
hovercraft were conducted in the Ural-Caspian Channel and in the North Caspian Sea. This …

This paper describes a numerical study of incompressible, steady, three-dimensional
turbulent air flow inside and around a simplified air-cushion vehicle (ACV) model. Two …

One major area of interest in air-cushion vehicle (ACV) hydrodynamics is ACV-generated
waves. However, the nonlinear effects of varying cushion pressures on the wake system …

Stepped spillways is a hydraulic and cost effective measure to dissipate energy of large
water flows over the spillway of a dam and like other spillway types have its limitations and a …

The installation of plunger-type wave makers in experimental tanks will generally include a
gap between the back of the wedge and the wall of the tank. In this study, we analyze the …

Accurate estimation of energy dissipation and discharge coeffichine (LS-SVM) to recognize
the factors affecting the discharge coefficient and energy dissipation. To this end, all data …

Modern Computational Fluid Dynamics modelling (CFD) are becoming common design and
analysis tools in the engineering field. Nowadays, project designs involve the use of CFD …

The effect of wedge angle at a constant submerged volume for a plunger type wave maker
on the wave height, wave amplitude ratio and the quality of generated wave is studied …
