Abstract

A meshless numerical model for nonlinear free surface water wave is presented in this paper. An approach of handling the moving free surface boundary is proposed. Using the fundamental solution of the Laplace equation as the radial basis functions and locating the source points outside the computational domain, the problem is solved by collocation of only a few boundary points. Present model is first applied to simulate the generation of periodic finite‐amplitude waves with high wave‐steepness and then is employed to simulate the modulation of monochromatic waves passing over a submerged obstacle. Good agreements are observed as compared with experimental data and other numerical models. Copyright Β© 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

We introduce a numerical method for fully nonlinear, three-dimensional water surface waves, described by standard potential theory. The method is based on a transformation of the dynamic water volume onto a fixed domain. Regridding at each time step is thereby avoided. The transformation introduces

This paper concerns the description of transient and highly nonlinear, near-breaking, surface water waves that are characterized by a spread of wave energy in both frequency and direction. A new spectral wave model is described that allows both the unsteadiness and the directionality of a wave field
