Initial Sediment Transport by wave actions at front side of a Submerged Breakwater using Discrete Element Method

Adaptive dual boundary element method for solving oblique incident wave passing a submerged breakwater

In this paper, an adaptive mesh scheme in boundary element computations for solving the propagation of oblique incident wave passing a breakwater is developed. The purpose is to demonstrate cost savings engendered through adaptivity. The computation is performed on meshes of constant boundary elements, and are adapted to the solution by locally changing element sizes (h-version). Two error indi...

A Study of the Wave Propagation Velocity in Granular Soils Using Discrete Element Method (DEM)

In the present paper, discrete element method (DEM) is used to study wave propagation phenomenon in granular soils. The effect of factors such as coefficient of friction, frequency, normal stiffness and soil gradation on the wave velocity is studied. Using the wall motion based on the sinusoidal function is the method of loading used in this simulation, through which the pressure wave is transf...

Numerical Study on Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Using a Submerged Breakwater

Most coastal structures have been built in surf zones to protect coastal areas. In general, the transformation of waves in the surf zone is quite complicated and numerous hazards to coastal communities may be associated with such phenomena. Therefore, the behavior of waves in the surf zone should be carefully analyzed and predicted. Furthermore, an accurate analysis of deformed waves around coa...
