  • A numerical wave tank based on coupled potential flow-viscous flow model

    Creator:
    Zhang, Yi
    Abstract:
    In this study, a coupled potential flow-viscous flow model is used for numerical wave tank simulation. The solver satisfies all the requirements for such a simulation environment. The coupling scheme is based on a non-overlapping heterogeneous domain decomposition method. In this method, the flow domain consists of two subdomains. In...

  • A heterogeneous flow numerical model based on domain decomposition methods

    Creator:
    Zhang, Yi
    Abstract:
    In this study, a heterogeneous flow model is proposed based on a non-overlapping domain decomposition method. The model combines potential flow and incompressible viscous flow. Both flow domains contain a free surface boundary. The heterogeneous domain decomposition method is formulated following the Dirichlet-Neumann method. Both an implicit scheme and an...

  • Interaction of water waves and deformable bodies

    Creator:
    Broderick, Laurie L.
    Abstract:
    A time-domain model was developed to predict the fluid/structure interaction of a three-dimensional deformable body in a fluid domain subject to long-crested finite amplitude waves. These nonlinear waves induce transient motion in the body. In turn, the interaction of the body with the waves modifies the wave field, causing additional...
