Numerical simulation of water waves impact on near-shore defensive structures
Résumé
This paper aims to give initial guidelines for oscillating water column design using
computational fluid dynamics. OpenFOAM have been used to analyse, first, the
feasibility to reproduce an irregular sea state. Historical data from a near-shore buoy on
Saint-Jean-de-Luz has been used for this purpose. Also, an Oscillating Water Column
large scale geometry has been simulated facing regular waves. Strengths and weaknesses
regarding the numerical tool performance are presented and settle a point of departure to reproduce a more realistic storm event.
