VOFbreak², a numerical model for simulation of wave interaction with rubble mound breakwater

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper › peer-review

Abstract

A new free-surface flow model, VOFbreak², is presented. This numerical model obtains finite difference solutions for incompressible flow on and in coastal structures, such as rubble mound breakwaters. The key innovation is the implementation of a porous flow model, which represents the flow in the coarse granular rock material of breakwaters. Other features include the VOF free-surface treatment, incident wave boundaries, portability of the code and adequate post-processing tools. The unique possibility to validate the model with prototype data from field monitoring is discussed.
