Numerical Simulation Of Overtopping Against Seawall Of Composite Profile In Regular Waves

Seawall is one of the most common structures in coastal and ocean engineering. And seawall of composite profile has been wildly used in coastal protection projects on soft foundation. Traditionally, physical modeling approach is used to study overtopping of water waves over seawalls. Nowadays numerical wave tank (NWT) is a potential tool to study propagation, deformation and breaking of water waves with numerical experiments.Based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equation, the finite volume method and standard turbulence k-epsilon model, a numerical wave tank was presented in the frame of FLUENT using the"relaxation method", which is same as modifying the source terms of momentum equations by distributed...
