This study develops an accurate numerical tool for investigating optimal retrofit configurations in order to minimize wave overtopping from a vertical seawall due to extreme climatic events and under changing climate. A weakly compressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics (WCSPH) model is developed to simulate the wave-structure interactions for coastal retrofit structures in front of a vertical seawall. A range of possible physical configurations of coastal retrofits including re-curve wall and submerged breakwater are modelled with the numerical model to understand their performance under different wave and structural conditions. The numerical model is successfully validated against laboratory data collected in 2D wave flume at Warwick Water Laboratory. The findings of numerical modelling are in good agreement with the laboratory data. The results indicate that recurve wall is more effective in mitigating wave overtopping and provides more resilience to coastal flooding in comparison to base-case (plain vertical wall) and submerged breakwater retrofit.

In this study, a numerical model is proposed for the analysis of a simply supported structural cable. Smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH)—a mesh-free, Lagrangian method with advantages for analysis of highly deformable bodies—is utilized to model a cable. In the proposed numerical model, it is assumed that a cable has only longitudinal stiffness in tension. Accordingly, SPH equations derived for solid mechanics are adapted for a structural cable, for the first time. Besides, a proper damping parameter is introduced to capture the behavior of the cable more realistically. In order to validate the proposed numerical model, different experimental and numerical studies available in the literature are used. In addition, novel experiments are carried out. In the experiments, different harmonic motions are applied to a uniformly loaded cable. Results show that the SPH method is an appropriate method to simulate the structural cable.

Efficient Mechanisms

The sloshing problem has been studied in recent decades, as it causes damage to the container structure, caused by hydrodynamic loads. In our work, we show that it is possible to mitigate the action of the fluid on the structure. First, we applied Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) to perform numerical simulations involving the sloshing effect in tanks used to transport Liquefied Petroleum Gas similar to the physical experiments found in the literature. Then, we added (on the container floor) to our numerical model attenuation devices to reduce the sloshing effect. Two types of sloshing suppressors were used, where two different heights are assigned and tested. In addition, we changed the deflector's morphology, leaving it in the shape of an arrow pointing upwards. The results have shown that the baffles can be efficient mechanisms for the suppression of sloshing and that there is a strong relationship between the height of the baffles and the level of fluid concerning the tank.

Abstract The numerical model for circular wave basin were developed using DualSPHysics based on Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics to generate short-crested wave. The recreation of short-crested wave was achieved using Pierson Moskowitz spectrum and cosin2s spreading function with spreading value s. It is found that this numerical tank model could successfully reproduced not only long-crested but short-crested waves using 168 hinged-flap type wave makers.

Abstract This paper presents some results of the author’s researching in connection with SPH (smoothed particle hydrodynamics) method and underwater explosion numerical modelling. All about cavitation fundamentals are considered known and about cavitation effects upon the structures. The authors, deeply preoccupied in using of SPH method, as well in modelling of the underwater explosion effects upon structures, had to take into consideration the bulk cavitation. A main issue in this study was the knowing of the bulk cavitation domain and its characteristic parameters. Such researching was possible to be successfully carried out, only by using of the SPH method. Finally, the paper presents the relations and the working way for knowing of the bulk cavitation domain and also a numerical model using SPH method is presented. The numerical example regarding shape and dimensions of the bulk cavitation is presented together putting in evidence of some parameters which can make damages upon a structure that is in the bulk cavitation area.
