Abstract:Based on the 2-D VOF model RIPPLE which was originally developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory (Kothe, et al., 1991), a Spatial-Filtered Navier Stokes (SFNS)-based model with the multi-scale k - l turbulence closure (Zhao, et al., 2004) is developed with the aim to simulate wave interaction with complex coastal structures. Flows in porous structures are calculated using the Darcy spatial-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with drag force terms. The model is validated using measured data and then applied to simulations of wave interaction with a ported caisson breakwater which includes multi-layered porous structures, solid structures and flow conduits.
