Using one-dimensional Beji & Nadaoka extended Boussinesq equation, a numerical study of solitary waves over submerged breakwaters has been conducted. Two different obstacles of rectangular as well as circular geometries over the seabed inside a channel have been considered in view of solitary waves passing by. Since these bars possess sharp vertical edges, they cannot directly be modeled by Boussinesq equations. Thus, sharply sloped lines over a short span have replaced the vertical sides, and the interactions of waves including reflection, transmission, and dispersion over the seabed with circular and rectangular shapes during the propagation have been investigated. In this numerical simulation, finite element scheme has been used for spatial discretization. Linear elements along with linear interpolation functions have been utilized for velocity components and the water surface elevation. For time integration, a fourth-order Adams-Bashforth-Moulton predictor-corrector method has been applied. Results indicate that neglecting the vertical edges and ignoring the vortex shedding would have minimal effect on the propagating waves and reflected waves with weak nonlinearity.

General Method

A general method is presented for the exact treatment of analytical problems that have solutions representing solitary waves. The theoretical framework of the method is developed in abstract first, providing a range of fixed-point theorems and other useful resources. It is largely based on topological concepts, in particular the fixed-point index for compact mappings, and uses a version of positive-operator theory referred to Frechet spaces. Then three exemplary problems are treated in which steadily propagating waves of permanent form are known to be represented. The first covers a class of one-dimensional model equations that generalizes the classic Korteweg—de Vries equation. The second concerns two-dimensional wave motions in an incompressible but density-stratified heavy fluid. The third problem describes solitary waves on water in a uniform canal.

Before And After

The objective of this study is to numerically investigate transmission coefficient of submerged trapezoidal breakwater of various configurations subjected to solitary waves. Boussinesq equations of Madsen and Sorensen are applied as governing equations for simulation purposes. Discretization of governing equations is accomplished using Galerkin finite element method and Adams-Bashforth-Moulton predictor-corrector method is considered for time integration. In order to obtain transmission coefficients, two gauges are considered before and after the submerged breakwater to record initial and transmitted wave heights, respectively. To examine the effect of configuration of breakwaters on their transmission coefficients, submergence ratio and crest width ratio are defined and analyzed. Different submergence ratios and various crest width ratios are considered. Computed results indicate how transmission coefficient decreases with the increase over different ranges of crest width ratio, for all values of submergence ratio. Furthermore, keeping crest width and submergence ratios constant, solitary waves with higher initial heights are simulated. Results of simulation indicate that transmission coefficient becomes higher for the same breakwater characteristics. Finally, a parametric study is conducted on the effect of side slopes of breakwaters. It is shown that side slopes have strong effect on wave transmission.

Finite element modeling of one-dimensional Beji and Nadaoka Boussinesq equation is presented. The continuous equations are spatially discretized using standard Galerkin method. Since the extended Boussinesq equations contain high-order derivatives, two different numerical techniques are proposed in this paper in order to simplify the discretization task of the third-order terms. In the first technique, an auxiliary equation is introduced to eliminate the third-order derivatives of the momentum equation while non-overlapping elements with linear interpolating functions are employed to account for the dependent variables. However, in the second method, overlapping elements with quadratic interpolating functions are applied for discretizing the governing equations. Time integration is performed using the Adams–Bashforth–Moulton predictor–corrector method. By considering the truncation error and theoretical analysis for both of the numerical techniques, accuracy and stability of the adopted finite element schemes have been studied. Finally, a computer code is developed based on the proposed schemes. To show the validity as well as the practicality of the developed code, five different test cases are presented, and the results are compared with some analytical solutions and experimental data. Favorable agreements have been achieved in all cases.

An accurate, stable, and efficient three-step predictor-corrector time integration method is considered, for the first time, to obtain numerical solution for the one-dimensional consolidation equation within a finite and spectral element framework. Theoretical order of accuracy and stability conditions are provided. The three-step predictor-corrector time integration method is third-order accurate and shows a larger stability region than the forward Euler method when applied to the one-dimensional consolidation equation. Furthermore, numerical results are in agreement with analytical solutions previously derived by the authors.

Abstract This research work is to study the numerical solution of three-dimensional second-order hyperbolic telegraph equations using an efficient local meshless method based on radial basis function (RBF). The model equations are used in nuclear material science and in the modeling of vibrations of structures. The explicit time integration technique is utilized to semi-discretize the model in the time direction whereas the space derivatives of the model are discretized by the proposed local meshless procedure based on multiquadric RBF. Numerical experiments are performed with the proposed numerical scheme for rectangular and non-rectangular computational domains. The proposed method solutions are converging quickly in comparison with the different existing numerical methods in the recent literature.

The CFD software FLUENT was used as the foundation to develop the numerical wave flume, in which the governing equations are the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and the standard k~ε turbulence model. The wave generating and absorbing were introduced into the RANS equations as the source terms using the relaxation approach. A new module of the wave generating and absorbing function, which is suitable for FLUENT based on the volume of fluid method (VOF), was established. Within the numerical wave flume, the reflected waves from the model within the computation domain can be absorbed effectively before second reflection appears due to the wave generating boundary. The computational results of the wave pressures on the bottom of the rectangular slab were validated for the different relative clearance by the experimental data. Good agreements were found.
