With the increasing demand for land transportation in coastal areas, the number of sea-
crossing bridges has increased rapidly. In the construction of sea-crossing bridges, the …

A CFD model is proposed for numerical simulations of extremely nonlinear free-surface
flows such as wave impact phenomena and violent wave–body interactions. The …

In the course of the propagation of waves from the offshore to the nearshore zone, the wave
may break due to the shoaling effect. Strong impact forces are observed when the breaking …

A numerical model is developed to study the wave propagation in the presence of a steady
current flow. This model is based on Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations …

The wave resistance of amphibious aircraft planing in waves is an important consideration in
the design of seaplanes. Based on the Cartesian Grid Finite Difference Method (CGFDM) …

This paper describes the results from a numerical estimation of the force exerted by long
surface waves on a fixed and partially immersed rectangular structure. The topic is …

A three-dimensional, fully-nonlinear numerical wave tank (NWT) is developed and utilized to
analyze the interaction between nonlinear waves and fixed or floating bodies with uniform …

Vertical surface piercing cylinders, such as typical coastal wind turbine foundations and
basic elements of many coastal structures, are often exposed to combined loading from …

Offshore substructures have been developed to support structures against complex offshore
environments. The load at offshore substructures is dominated by waves, and deformation of …

The forward speed diffraction problem for a surface ship is analyzed numerically, using a
RANS approach with a single-phase level set method to compute the free surface and a …
