Numerical Simulation of Wave Overtopping Over Composite Berm Breakwater
Breakwaters have changed a lot during their design history. Overtopping is an important parameter that its evaluation and reduction has always been noticed. In this study, the wave overtopping of composite berm breakwater as a new conceptual structure has been investigated numerical modeling was performed using FLOW-3D software. Then, based on a laboratory model conducted by Losada et al, cali...
متن کاملExperimental Update of the Overtopping Model Used for the Wave Dragon Wave Energy Converter
An overtopping model specifically suited for Wave Dragon is needed in order to improve the reliability of its performance estimates. The model shall be comprehensive of all relevant physical processes that affect overtopping and flexible to adapt to any local conditions and device configuration. An experimental investigation is carried out to update an existing formulation suited for 2D draft-l...
متن کاملSimulation of Wave Overtopping of Maritime Structures in a Numerical Wave Flume
A numerical wave flume based on the particle finite element method PFEM is applied to simulate wave overtopping for impermeable maritime structures. An assessment of the performance and robustness of the numerical wave flume is carried out for two different cases comparing numerical results with experimental data. In the first case, a well-defined benchmark test of a simple low-crested structur...
متن کاملOn the Effects of Geometry Control on the Performance of Overtopping Wave Energy Converters
Overtopping wave energy converters (OWECs) are designed to extract energy from ocean waves based on wave overtopping into a reservoir, which is emptied into the ocean through a set of low-head turbines, and typically feature a low crest freeboard and a smooth impermeable steep slope. In the process of optimizing the performance of OWECs, the question arises whether adapting the slope geometry t...
متن کاملWave System Diagnostics for Numerical Wave Models
Ocean surface wave estimates from numerical spectral wave models provide critical input to a wide variety of marine activities including operational forecasting, coastal storm protection, climate assessments, coastal and offshore structure design, search and rescue, ship routing and recreational use. As all of these applications involve the safety of human life and property, the ability to accu...
