Computational Wave Dynamics [Kõva köide]

Japanese engineering scholars set out the various methods of calculating the dynamics of ocean waves mathematically, providing students and new researchers with step-by-step instructions for preparing and reviewing the relevant areas of computational wave dynamics and computational fluid mechanics. They cover governing equations, turbulence models, fundamental computational methods, the volume of fluid method, the combined unified procedure method, the particle method, the distinct element method, the Euler-Lagrange method, and computational wave dynamics for coastal and ocean research.

This book provides a comprehensive description of the latest theory-supported numerical technologies, as well as scientific and engineering applications for water surface waves. Its contents are crafted to cater to a step-by-step learning of computational wave dynamics and ocean wave modeling. It provides a comprehensive description from underlying theories of free-surface flows, to practical computational applications for coastal and ocean engineering on the basis of computational fluid dynamics (CFD).The text may be used as a textbook for advanced undergraduate students and graduate students to understand the theoretical background of wave computations, and the recent progress of computational techniques for free-surface and interfacial flows, such as Volume of Fluid (VOF), Constrained Interpolation Profile (CIP), Lagrangian Particle (SPH, MPS), Distinct Element (DEM) and Euler-Lagrange Hybrid Methods.It is also suitable for researchers and engineers who wish to apply CFD techniques to ocean modeling and practical coastal problems involving sediment transport, wave-structure interaction and surf zone flows.
