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.

CCP-WSI Blind Test Using qaleFOAM with an Improved Passive Wave Absorber
TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid model, qaleFOAM, coupling a two-phase Navier-Stokes (NS) model and the fully nonlinear potential theory (FNPT) using the spatially hierarchical approach is presented.

A large-eddy-simulation-based numerical wave tank for three-dimensional wave-structure interaction
TL;DR: In this article, a three-dimensional numerical wave tank (NWT) based on the open-source large eddy simulation (LES) code Hydro3D is introduced to predict the progression and damping of monochromatic waves and the interaction of nonlinear waves with various submerged obstacles.

A robust mesh optimisation method for multiphase porous media flows
TL;DR: A methodology is presented here to modify the mesh within the non-linear solver, which allows efficient application of dynamic mesh adaptivity techniques even with high Courant numbers.
