On the effect of bed condition on the development of tsunami-induced loading on structures using OpenFOAM
Steven Douglas,Ioan Nistor +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a multiphase three-dimensional numerical model using the vol- ume of fluid method is applied to investigate tsunami-like bores propagating over dry and wet flume beds and their interaction with a structural model.

Image-Based Measurement of Wave Interactions with Rubble Mound Breakwaters
TL;DR: In this paper, an alternative method for tracking water surface, based on color segmentation, is presented, where the proposed method was used to detect water surface profiles for various types of breaking waves interacting with a rubble mound breakwater.

Robust control volume finite element methods for numerical wave tanks using extreme adaptive anisotropic meshes
Lluis Via-Estrem,Pablo Salinas,Zhihua Xie,Jiansheng Xiang,John-Paul Latham,Steven Douglas,I. Nistora,Christopher C. Pain +7 more
TL;DR: This article presents a very robust FEM approach based on a control volume discretization of the pressure field for inertia dominated flows, which can overcome the typically encountered mesh quality limitations associated with extremely anisotropic elements.

A Fast and Effective Wave Proxy Approach for Wave-Structure Interaction in Rubble Mound Structures
Jiansheng Xiang,John-Paul Latham,Pablo Higuera,Lluis Via-Estrem,Derek Eden,Steven Douglas,Adrian Simplean,Ioan Nistor,Andrew Cornett +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a wave proxy approach for wave-structure interaction is proposed, where hydraulic forces on units are calculated by the surface integral of fluid pressure at the local element level and then these forces are integrated and applied to each unit.
