Numerical Investigation of Breaking Waves Impact On a Vertical Wall With a Large Recurved Parapet
Résumé
The present work describes the numerical approach used for the assessment of breaking waves impact on a vertical wall with a large recurved parapet , for which experiments were performed in Coastal Research Centre (ForschungsZentrum Küste, FZK), Hannover, Germany (Ravindar et al., 2018, 2019, 2021).
To perform these computations, the compressible multi-phase solver within the OpenFOAM numerical toolbox is presently combined with the waves2FOAM libraries to generate waves and resolve the Navier Stokes equations. Moreover, in these considered solvers, the free surface is treated using the Volume of Fluid (VoF) method and the pressure-velocity equations are solved thanks to the PIMPLE algorithm.
Different wave gauges and pressure probes are present in the experimental configuration that are used either as input parameters for our simulations and for the validation of our numerical results by numerical-experimental cross-comparisons.
