Numerical Modeling of Water Waves by Pengzhi Lin Pdf

Modelling large-scale wave fields and their interaction with coastal and offshore structures has become much more feasible over the last two decades with increases in computer speeds. Wave modelling can be viewed as an extension of wave theory, a mature and widely published field, applied to practical engineering through the use of computer tools. Information about the various wave models which have been developed is often widely scattered in the literature, and consequently this is one of the first books devoted to wave models and their applications. At the core of the book is an introduction to various types of wave models. For each model, the theoretical assumptions, the application range, and the advantages and limitations are elaborated. The combined use of different wave models from large-scale to local-scale is highlighted with a detailed discussion of the application and matching of boundary conditions. At the same time the book provides a grounding in hydrodynamics, wave theory, and numerical methods which underlie wave modelling. It presents the theoretical background and also shows how to use these models for achieving different engineering tasks, illustrated and reinforced with case study examples.

Parametrical Investigation of a Trapezoidal Submerged Breakwater by Adnan Mohamadi Nezhad Kahteki Pdf

Breakwaters are widely used to provide economical protection from waves in harbors and marinas. Also, the submerged breakwaters were extensively adopted to reduce wave motion in front of vertical wall breakwaters. In this study, the flow pattern is numerically simulated using FLOW-3D software. To model the flow field turbulence, the standard and RNG turbulence models are used. According the numerical results, the standard turbulence model had more accuracy than RNG turbulence model. Also, the Volume of Fluid is applied for modeling the variations of flow free surface. To validate the numerical results, Li and Fleming (2001) study results are used. According to numerical simulation results, the numerical model predicted the variation of free surface with reasonable accuracy. For example, the MAPE is computed 11.808% for numerical model. Also, the variations of other hydraulic and hydrodynamic parameters were examined. For instance, the maximum flow field pressure before and after break were calculated 4763 and 4923 pa, respectively.

Numerical Simulation of Water Waves by Jianhua Tao Pdf

This book discusses the numerical simulation of water waves, which combines mathematical theories and modern techniques of numerical simulation to solve the problems associated with waves in coastal, ocean, and environmental engineering. Bridging the gap between practical mathematics and engineering, the book describes wave mechanics, establishment of mathematical wave models, modern numerical simulation techniques, and applications of numerical models in engineering. It also explores environmental issues related to water waves in coastal regions, such as pollutant and sediment transport, and introduces numerical wave flumes and wave basins. The material is self-contained, with numerous illustrations and tables, and most of the mathematical and engineering concepts are presented or derived in the text. The book is intended for researchers, graduate students and engineers in the fields of hydraulic, coastal, ocean and environmental engineering with a background in fluid mechanics and numerical simulation methods.

Advances in Coastal Modeling by V.C. Lakhan Pdf

This book unifies and enhances the accessibility of contemporary scholarly research on advances in coastal modeling. A comprehensive spectrum of innovative models addresses the wide diversity and multifaceted aspects of coastal research on the complex natural processes, dynamics, interactions and responses of the coastal supersystem and its associated subsystems. The twenty-one chapters, contributed by internationally recognized coastal experts from fourteen countries, provide invaluable insights on the recent advances and present state-of-the-art knowledge on coastal models which are essential for not only illuminating the governing coastal process and various characteristics, but also for understanding and predicting the dynamics at work in the coastal system. One of the unique strengths of the book is the impressive and encompassing presentation of current functional and operational coastal models for all those concerned with and interested in the modeling of seas, oceans and coasts. In addition to chapters modeling the dynamic natural processes of waves, currents, circulatory flows and sediment transport there are also chapters that focus on the modeling of beaches, shorelines, tidal basins and shore platforms. The substantial scope of the book is further strengthened with chapters concentrating on the effects of coastal structures on nearshore flows, coastal water quality, coastal pollution, coastal ecological modeling, statistical data modeling, and coupling of coastal models with geographical information systems.
