Simulation of Wave Propagation over Coastal Structures Using WCSPH Method

In this paper a space-averaged Navier–Stokes approach was deployed to simulate the wave propagation over coastal structures. The developed model is based on the smoothed particle hydrodynamic (SPH) method which is a pure Lagrangian approach and can handle large deformations of the free surface with high accuracy. In this study, the large eddy simulation (LES) turbulent model was coupled with th...

Fundamentals of Seismic Wave Propagation

Ambient seismic wave field

The ambient seismic wave field, also known as ambient noise, is excited by oceanic gravity waves primarily. This can be categorized as seismic hum (1-20 mHz), primary microseisms (0.02-0.1 Hz), and secondary microseisms (0.1-1 Hz). Below 20 mHz, pressure fluctuations of ocean infragravity waves reach the abyssal floor. Topographic coupling between seismic waves and ocean infragravity waves at t...

Numerical Soluitons of Acoustic Wave Propagation Problems Using Euler Computations

This paper reports solution procedures for problems arising from the study of engine inlet wave propagation. The first problem is the study of sound waves radiated from cylindrical inlets. The second one is a quasi-one-dimensional problem to study the effect of nonlinearities and the third one is the study of nonlinearities in two dimensions. In all three problems Euler computations are done wi...

Modeling Seismic Wave Propagation Using Graphics Processor Units (GPU)

The main drawback of the seismic modeling in 2D viscoelastic media on a single PC is that simulations with large gridsizes require a tremendous amount of floating point calculations. To improve computation speedup, a graphic processing units (GPUs) accelerated method was proposed using the staggered-grid finite difference (FD) method. The geophysical model is decomposed into subdomains for PML ...
