The knowledge acquired with this course will allow the student to:
- Configure, simulate and analyze a wide variety of cases. Simulate the hydrodynamic processes of the breaker zone and wave interaction with coastal structures, including three-dimensional random sea states and considering conventional or non-conventional coastal structures.
- Analyze the functionality and stability of coastal structures: wave reflection and transmission, wave run-up on coastal structures, wave dissipation, overtopping discharge, wave-induced forces and moments.
- Apply advanced techniques such as mesh movement or mesh refinement.
Visualize your results using ParaView® and create videos of them.
IHFOAM 2.0 is a newly developed three-dimensional numerical two-phase flow application specially designed to simulate coastal, offshore and hydraulic engineering processes, based on OpenFOAM®. Different topics will be discussed during the course:
- Introduction to numerical modeling, wave generation and active wave absorption
- Methodology from start to finish
- Advanced mesh generation with native OpenFOAM® tools
- Applications to 2D and 3D processes:
- Fluid-structure interaction
- Active wave generation and absorption
- Rebase
- Mesh deformation and dynamic mesh refinement
- Interaction of waves with porous structures
- Interaction of waves with floating structures
- Visualization of computed results using ParaView® and customized analysis tools specially designed for coastal engineering applications
