Abstract

A two-phase (air and water) smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method is employed to study the hydrodynamic-aerodynamic and wave interaction with fixed and floating structures in a wave basin. The method is first verified for a classical two-phase dam-breaking. A mirror-open boundary is implemented at the top and left sides of a two-phase wave basin with a piston to generate a second-order regular wave. It is observed that, compared to the single-phase simulation, the two-phase one obtains a smoother water surface and prevents the non-physical water splash when interacting with the sloped dissipative beach. This wave basin is also used to investigate wave-structure problems such as wave interaction with a rigid cantilever beam fixed to the basin bottom and downstream of the wave-maker mechanism and the dynamics of a single floating box and two floating boxes in the waves. A typical wave-structure interaction period is captured and described using pressure contours and velocity vectors at three selected instants for the wave-rigid cantilever beam case. With the increase of the structure’s height, the wave height after the structure decreases, but no evident variation is found when changing its thickness. Besides the hydrodynamics interaction, a periodical collision is observed between the two floating boxes on the wave surface.
