Investigating the Amount of Forces Caused by Solitary Waves on Coastal Walls Using OpenFOAM Software
Coastal walls (dyke) are one of the methods of protecting the coast against coastal erosion and destructive forces of waves. The purpose of this study is to simulate the wave collision with the coastal dyke and compare the results with the laboratory model. Open FOAM open source software and K-ω SST turbulence model were used to simulate the amount of wave consumed by the coastal dyke. Taking i...
متن کاملBreaking criterion and characteristics for solitary waves on slopes
Shoaling and breaking of solitary waves is computed on slopes 1:100 to 1:8 using an experimentally validated fully nonlinear wave model based on potential flow equations. Characteristics of waves are computed at and beyond the breaking point, and geometric self-similarities of breakers are discussed as a function of wave height and bottom slope. No wave breaks for slopes steeper than 12 . A bre...
متن کاملModeling Internal Solitary Waves in the Coastal Ocean
In the coastal oceans, the interaction of currents (such as the barotropic tide) with topography can generate large-amplitude, horizontally propagating internal solitary waves. These waves often occur in regions where the waveguide properties vary in the direction of propagation. We consider the modeling of these waves by nonlinear evolution equations of the Korteweg-de Vries type with variable...
متن کاملSolitary Waves of Depression
It is shown that the regularized long-wave equation admits a family of solitary waves of depression. Some of these solitary waves are stable while others are unstable. The proof of stability and instability is based on the general theory of Grillakis, Shatah and Strauss. The results are illustrated by numerical simulation using a spectral discretization.
متن کاملEffects of Building Construction Overburden on Liquefaction Potential of Soils
As one of the significant phenomena in earthquake geotechnical engineering, liquefaction can cause severe damages. A number of factors play a role in the occurrence of liquefaction such as magnitude of earthquake, void ratio, relative density, and fines content percentage. The impact of building construction overburdens on liquefaction is of paramount importance. The present study was aimed at ...
