TITLE

On the Integral Form of the Motion Equations for Free Surface Flow

ABSTRACT

This work deals with a novel three-dimensional finite-volume non-hydrostatic shock-capturing model for the simulation of wave transformation processes and wave-structure interaction. The model is based on an integral formulation of the Navier-Stokes equations solved on a coordinate system in which the vertical coordinate is varying in time. A finite-volume shock-capturing numerical technique based on high order WENO reconstructions is adopted in order to discretize the fluid motion equations.

KEYWORDS

three-dimensional, time-dependent coordinate system, free surface flow, shock-capturing
