SPH-LES MODEL FOR WAVE DISSIPATION USING A CURTAIN WALL

The transmission and reflection of regular waves by a half immersed curtain wall is studied by measuring the transmitted and reflected wave histories in the experiment. The experiment investigations were conducted for three different wave heights H=0.06, 0.07 and 0.08 m with a period of 1.5 s in a wave flume of 50.0 m long, 1.0 m wide and in a constant water depth of 0.72 m. The curtain wall is set on a 1/100 slope with the immersion depth of 0.1 m. The Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) model is employed to reproduce the experimental wave profiles and velocities. The turbulence was dealt with by incorporating a Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model into the numerical code.
