Wave breaking is widely recognized as a very challenging phenomenon to emulate using numerical/computational methods. On that condition, the transition from modelling regular irregular waves not trivial. Even though some issues are surpassed in CFD simulations, there still two substantial problems account for. The first one entails proper generation of numerical wave tank, while second introduc...

The Entropically Damped Artificial Compressibility (EDAC) method of Clausen [2013] is an interesting alternative to the traditional artifical compressibility technique. We apply the EDAC method in the context of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics. In this work we present preliminary results for this method. The method is easy to implement in a standard SPH framework. Our simulations are compared w...

The aim of this paper is to give a detailed effect of several parameters such as step height, Reynolds number, contraction ratio, and temperature difference between the entrance and solid boundaries, of a forward-facing step. An accurate length of separation and reattachment zones are achieved. A finite-volume method (FVM) has been developed to study incompressible flow in a forward-facing step...
