This paper presents a numerical model for the simulation of solitary wave transformation around a permeable submerged breakwater. The wave-structure interaction is obtained by solving the Volume-Averaged Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes governing equations (VARANS) and volume of fluid (VOF) theory. This model is applied to understand the effects of porosity, equivalent mean diameter of porous media, structure height, and structure width on the propagation of a solitary wave in the vicinity of a permeable submerged structure. The results show that solitary wave propagation around a permeable breakwater is essentially different from that around impermeable one. It is also found that the structure porosity has more impact than equivalent mean diameter on the wave transformation and flow structure. After interacting with the higher structure, the wave has smaller wave height behind the structure with a lower travelling speed. When the wave propagates over the breakwater with longer width, the wave travelling speed is obviously reduced with more wave energy dissipated inside porous structure.

The Impact

This article focuses on a two-dimensional numerical model established to determine the seabed dynamic response in the region of a permeable submerged breakwater. The wave motion in this article is governed by the volume-averaged Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equation, whereas Biot’s poro-elastic equation determines the seabed foundation. The water surface is recorded using the volume of fluid technique. In this study, the results for the two-dimensional seabed dynamic response for both the consolidation status and the dynamic wave-induced response status for the seabed foundation coupled with submerged breakwater are illustrated. The numerical results examined from the dynamic pore pressure, the effective stresses, the shear stress, and the seabed soil displacements revealed that the impact of dynamic response at the offshore zone/seaward on the seabed foundation is more developed than at the onshore zone/harbor side. Parametric results analysis as regards the effect of the wave, the seabed, and the submerged breakwater structure variation significantly affected the seabed foundation response coupled with the breakwater structure. The numerical outcome on the liquefaction potential shows that the seabed foundation is more seemingly to liquefy and happen approximately at the toe of the submerged breakwater under the wave loading.

The Waves

This study reports the experimental results of the wave transformation and the wave-induced soil response when the waves pass through the submerged permeable breakwater. The model of the submerged breakwater was built on a horizontal sandy bottom. The experimental results of the spectrum of the wave transformation and the wave-induced pore-pressure are first analyzed in this paper. It is found that the wave spectrum is similar to the condition of the impermeable bottom that the higher harmonic mode appears when the waves pass over the submerged structure. However, the higher harmonic mode is not found in the spectrum of the wave-induced pore pressure, showing that the nonlinearity of the pore pressure is damped by the porous bed. The influences of the geometry of the submerged breakwater to the transformation of the wave height and the pore-pressure are also investigated. Based on the experimental results, the regression formulas for the coefficients of the wave reflection, the wave transmission and the wave energy dissipation are obtained in the paper.

The propagation on submerged structures of solitary wave, as a typical nonlinear wave, has guiding significance for the design and operation of coastal engineering. This paper presents a numerical model based on Navier-Stokes equations to study the interaction of the solitary wave with a submerged semicircular cylinder. A multiphase method is utilized to deal with water and air phase. The model uses the CIP (Constrained Interpolation Profile) method to solve the convection term of the Navier-Stokes equations and the THINC (Tangent of Hyperbola for Interface Capturing) scheme to capture the free surface. Three representative cases different in relative solitary wave height and structure size are simulated and analyzed by this model. By comparing the surface elevations at wave gauges with the experimental data and the documented numerical results, the present model is verified. Then, the wave pressure field around the submerged semicircular cylinder is presented and analyzed. At last, the velocity and vorticity fields are demonstrated to elucidate the characteristics of wave breaking, flow separation, and vortex generation and evolution during the wave-structure interaction. This work presents the fact that this numerical model combining the CIP and THINC methods has the ability to give a comprehensive comprehension of the flow around the structure during the nonlinear interaction of the solitary wave with a submerged structure.

Wave Structure Interaction

A 2-D numerical wave tank (NWT) was applied for solving the interaction between a solitary wave and a moving circular cylinder. The cylinder was placed at various positions from the tank bed floor. The cylinder can move at a constant horizontal velocity towards the solitary wave. The collision between a solitary wave and a moving cylinder is investigated at various conditions. A total of fifteen cases were studied. Ten different numerical simulations were used, including five submergence depths and two different moving velocities. The other five different numerical simulations were studied when the cylinder was unmoved in the NWT for comparing wave-structure interaction results between the moving and unmoved cylinders. The numerical results were obtained by calculating Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and the volume of fluid (VOF) equations. Two different codes (User-Define-Function-UDF) were used for the generation of a solitary wave by moving a wave paddle and traveling cylinder in the NWT. The dynamic mesh method was applied for recreating mesh. First, the ability of CFD codes to generate a solitary wave by using wave paddle movement and the hydrodynamic forces of a moving cylinder were validated by numerical results. Further, the free-surface elevation and hydrodynamic forces were considered at various conditions. The numerical results show that moving cylinder velocity and the space between the cylinder and the tank bed floor have significant effects on surface displacement and hydrodynamic forces.

This study evaluates the capability of Navier–Stokes solvers in predicting forward and backward plunging breaking, including assessment of the effect of grid resolution, turbulence model, and VoF, CLSVoF interface models on predictions. For this purpose, 2D simulations are performed for four test cases: dam break, solitary wave run up on a slope, flow over a submerged bump, and solitary wave over a submerged rectangular obstacle. Plunging wave breaking involves high wave crest, plunger formation, and splash up, followed by second plunger, and chaotic water motions. Coarser grids reasonably predict the wave breaking features, but finer grids are required for accurate prediction of the splash up events. However, instabilities are triggered at the air–water interface (primarily for the air flow) on very fine grids, which induces surface peel-off or kinks and roll-up of the plunger tips. Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) turbulence models result in high eddy-viscosity in the air–water region which decays the fluid momentum and adversely affects the predictions. Both VoF and CLSVoF methods predict the large-scale plunging breaking characteristics well; however, they vary in the prediction of the finer details. The CLSVoF solver predicts the splash-up event and secondary plunger better than the VoF solver; however, the latter predicts the plunger shape better than the former for the solitary wave run-up on a slope case.

Gunpowder was released in an instant when the pill fly out of the shell during the firing, and then formed a complicated flow fields about the muzzle when the gas expanded sharply. Using the 2 d axisymmetric Navier-Stokes equation combined with single equation turbulent model to conduct the numerical simulation of the process of gunpowder gass evacuating out of the shell without muzzle regardless of the pill’s movement. The numerical simulation result was identical with the experimental. Then simulated the evacuating process of gunpowder gass of an artillery with muzzle brake. The result showed complicated wave structure of the flow fields with the muzzle brake and analysed the influence of muzzle brake to the gass flow field distribution.

Results are presented from a towing-tank experiment conducted in order to document the effects of waves on the wake of a surface-piercing body. A unique, simple model geometry is utilized which makes it possible to isolate and identify the most important features of the wave-induced effects. Measurements were made for three wave-steepness conditions: zero, medium, and large. The effects of the waves for the latter two conditions are shown to be significant. In particular, the variations of the external-flow pressure gradients cause acceleration and deceleration phases of the streamwise velocity component and alternating direction of the crossflow, which results in large oscillations of the displacement thickness and wake centerplane velocities as compared to the zero-steepness condition. Remarkably, the wake displays a greater response, that is, a bias with regard to favorable as compared to adverse pressure gradients. The measurements are compared and close agreement is demonstrated with results from Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes calculations. Additional calculations are presented, including laminar-flow results, which aid in explicating the characteristics of the near and intermediate wake, the periodic nature of the far wake, and wave-induced separation. Previously, experimental and computational results were presented for the boundary-layer region.

This study develops an accurate numerical tool for investigating optimal retrofit configurations in order to minimize wave overtopping from a vertical seawall due to extreme climatic events and under changing climate. A weakly compressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics (WCSPH) model is developed to simulate the wave-structure interactions for coastal retrofit structures in front of a vertical seawall. A range of possible physical configurations of coastal retrofits including re-curve wall and submerged breakwater are modelled with the numerical model to understand their performance under different wave and structural conditions. The numerical model is successfully validated against laboratory data collected in 2D wave flume at Warwick Water Laboratory. The findings of numerical modelling are in good agreement with the laboratory data. The results indicate that recurve wall is more effective in mitigating wave overtopping and provides more resilience to coastal flooding in comparison to base-case (plain vertical wall) and submerged breakwater retrofit.

Abstract The solution of nonlinear mathematical models has much importance and in soliton theory its worth has increased. In the present article, we have investigated the Caudrey-Dodd-Gibbon and Pochhammer-Chree equations, to discuss the physics of these equations and to attain soliton solutions. The exp(−ϕ(ζ ))-expansion technique is used to construct solitary wave solutions. A wave transformation is applied to convert the problem into the form of an ordinary differential equation. The drawn-out novel type outcomes play an essential role in the transportation of energy. It is noted that in the study, the approach is extremely reliable and it may be extended to further mathematical models signified mostly in nonlinear differential equations.
