Numerical Simulation of Wave Fields around the Submerged Breakwater with SOLA-SURF Method

Abstract

Bothe two and three dimensional numerical simulation of wave fields around the submerged breakwater is carried out using the SOLA-SURF method. The results of the calculation are compared with the laboratory experiment. It is shown that the side wall boundary condition for the three dimensional calculation of the laboratory tank should be nonviscous(slip-type) to reproduce the experimental data. The calculation method is easily extendible to a field scale case.
