Abstract

The paper presents an improved passive wave absorber for numerically modelling extremely wave. The development is driven by the challenge on effectively absorbing the undesirable wave, especially the waves with large wavelength, in the numerical wave tanks (NWTs). The developed absorber is adopted by the hybrid model, qaleFOAM, which combines a two-phase Navier-Stokes model (NS) and the fully nonlinear potential theory (FNPT) using the spatially hierarchical approach. The former governs a limited computational domain, where the viscous effects are significant, and is solved by using OpenFOAM/InterDyMFoam. The latter covers the rest of the domain and solved by using the Quasi Lagrangian Eulerian Finite Element Method (QALE-FEM). The accuracy of the qaleFOAM with the new self-adaptive technique is demonstrated by comparing its prediction with experimental results, in which extreme focusing waves are considered. The effectiveness of the wave absorber is assessed by comparing with the conventional damping technique.
