SMOOTHED PARTICLE HYDRODYNAMICS MODELLING OF WAVES, SHEARED CURRENTS AND LOADS

Le résumé fourni par la source

Waves and currents coexist and interact with each other in a wide range of coastal locations. These currents are seldom uniform with depth and typically have vertical shear which adds complexity to the wave-current interaction problem [1]. It is this, potentially complex, combined environment which subsequently determines the loading on structures making it important to accurately model for the purpose of system design. However, there exist challenges in both the experimental and numerical (re)-creation of waves in sheared currents and hence the realistic combined wave-current environment is not routinely considered.
