DOWNLOAD EBOOKSubmerged structures are frequently used in coastal engineering applications, such as tunnel and pipeline protection works, breakwaters, and artificial reefs. Although a significant number of research works have focused on low-crested structures, there is far less research into deeply submerged structures. In most research, lightly-sloped, uniform cross-sectioned submerged structures with specific crest elevations are considered. The present thesis deals with the three-dimensional physical and numerical modelling of the interaction of irregular waves with a large-scale three-dimensional submerged structure. It aims to advance the understanding of the structure's influence on the irregular wave field, the wave-induced velocities along the structure crest, and the wave-induced currents. The ability of a nonlinear Boussinesq wave model to simulate these processes is also investigated and assessed. Analysis was performed on a multitude of data, including--but not limited to--wave heights, wave periods, wave energy spectra, energy transfer functions, reflection analyses, and wave-induced velocities. In general, the analysis and comparison performed showed that the numerical model provided a modestly accurate representation of the physical modelling results.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis PhD is dedicated to the development of an advanced numerical model for simulating interactions between free surface waves of arbitrary steepness and rigid bodies in high amplitude motions. Based on potential theory, it solves the coupled dynamics of waves and structure with the implicit method by Van Daalen (1993), also named the acceleration potential method by Tanizawa (1995). The precision of this two-dimensional model is tested on a wide range of applications involving the forced motion or free motion of a submerged horizontal cylinder of circular cross-section : diffraction by a fixed cylinder, radiation by a cylinder in specified high amplitude motions, wave absorption by the Bristol cylinder. In each of these applications, numerical results are compared to experimental data or analytical solutions based on the linear wave theory, with a good agreement especially for small amplitude motions of the cylinder and small wave steepnesses. The irregular wave generation by a paddle and the possibility to add an extra circular cylinder are integrated in the model and illustrated on practical applications with simple wave energy converters. The model is finally extended to three dimensions, with preliminary results for a sphere in large amplitude heaving oscillations.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKModelling large-scale wave fields and their interaction with coastal and offshore structures has become much more feasible over the last two decades with increases in computer speeds. Wave modelling can be viewed as an extension of wave theory, a mature and widely published field, applied to practical engineering through the use of computer tools. Information about the various wave models which have been developed is often widely scattered in the literature, and consequently this is one of the first books devoted to wave models and their applications. At the core of the book is an introduction to various types of wave models. For each model, the theoretical assumptions, the application range, and the advantages and limitations are elaborated. The combined use of different wave models from large-scale to local-scale is highlighted with a detailed discussion of the application and matching of boundary conditions. At the same time the book provides a grounding in hydrodynamics, wave theory, and numerical methods which underlie wave modelling. It presents the theoretical background and also shows how to use these models for achieving different engineering tasks, illustrated and reinforced with case study examples.
