This paper presents a three dimensional application of direct Boundary-Element Method (BEM) for computing interaction of sinusoidal waves with a large submerged open bottom structure near the floor with finite depth. The wave diffraction problem is formulated within the framework of linearized potential theory and solved numerically with direct BEM. A computer program based on BEM is developed ...

in this paper, an adaptive physics-based method is developed for solving wave motion problems in one dimension (i.e., wave propagation in strings, rods and beams). the solution of the problem includes two main parts. in the first part, after discretization of the domain, a physics-based method is developed considering the conservation of mass and the balance of momentum. in the second part, ada...

Green’s function, an analytical approach in inhomogeneous linear differential equations, is the impulse response, which is applied for deriving the wave equation solution in composite materials mediums. This paper investigates the study of SH wave’s transmission influenced by concentrated point source disturbance in piezomagnetic material resting over heterogeneous half-space. Green function ap...

A new far-field closure condition for a CFD-based numerical wave tank that uses a potential wave solution to overlay the outer computational domain of a CFD solution is described. A prescribed potential wave solution covers the region beyond a diameter more than 10 times of floater footprints. The diffracted waves from the body are absorbed by the ‘potential-attractor’ terms applied in the inte...

A computationally efficient approximate analytical solution based on the classic solution for diffraction about a semi-infinite breakwater, is developed to assess the wave energy shadow down-wave of a single row array of overtopping type wave energy converters approximated as partially transmitting breakwater segments. The approximations associated with the solution are mitigated by a compariso...
