This paper presents a numerical study of the solitary wave interaction with a submerged breakwater using the Consistent Particle Method (CPM). The distinct feature of CPM is that it computes the spatial derivatives by using the Taylor series expansion directly and without the use of the kernel or weighting functions. This achieves good numerical consistency and hence better accuracy. Validated by published experiment data, the CPM model is shown to be able to predict the wave elevations, profiles and velocities when a solitary wave interacts with a submerged breakwater. Using the validated model, the detailed physics of the wave breaking process, the vortex generation and evolution and the water particle trajectories are investigated. The influence of the breakwater dimension on the wave characteristics is parametrically studied.
