Using a Three-Dimensional Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics Method for Wave Impact on a Tall Structure
Publication: Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering
Volume 130, Issue 2
Abstract
The impact of a single wave generated by a dam break with a tall structure is modeled with a three-dimensional version of the smoothed particle hydrodynamics method. The method is used to analyze the propagation of a long wave and the force it exerts on a tall structure located in a region with vertical boundaries. Velocities and forces obtained from a numerical model are shown to be in good agreement with laboratory measurements. The effect of having a dry bed in front of the dam prior to the dam break versus a wet bed in the experiment is discussed.
