In order to study the specialties of wave slamming on open-piled structures, a two-dimensional regular wave tank was established based on commercial CFD software FLUENT. Three typical cases of regular wave slamming on the open-piled structures were reproduced by using the numerical wave tank and compared with the experimental data available. Good agreements were obtained between the numerical and experimental results and the average of peak impact pressure was chosen as the characteristic impact pressure. Then regular wave impact pressure on the open-piled structures under various wave height, period and over height were simulated. The influences of the three parameters on the distribution of impact pressure were analyzed.

The Impact

For the stability of offshore structures, such as offshore wind foundations, extreme wave conditions need to be taken into account. Waves from extreme events are critical from the design perspective. In a numerical wave tank, extreme waves can be modeled using focused waves. Here, linear waves are generated from a wave spectrum. The wave crests of the generated waves coincide at a preselected location and time. Focused wave generation is implemented in the numerical wave tank module of REEF3D, which has been extensively and successfully tested for various wave hydrodynamics and wave–structure interaction problems in particular and for free surface flows in general. The open-source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code REEF3D solves the three-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations on a staggered Cartesian grid. Higher order numerical schemes are used for time and spatial discretization. For the interface capturing, the level set method is selected. In order to test the generated waves, the time series of the free surface elevation are compared with experimental benchmark cases. The numerically simulated free surface elevation shows good agreement with experimental data. In further computations, the impact of the focused waves on a vertical circular cylinder is investigated. A breaking focused wave is simulated and the associated kinematics is investigated. Free surface flow features during the interaction of nonbreaking focused waves with a cylinder and during the breaking process of a focused wave are also investigated along with the numerically captured free surface.
