  6. 25. Numerical Study on Seepage-induced Failure of Caisson Type Breakwaters Using a Stabilized ISPH

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Tetsuro Goda; [2017]
    Keywords : Tsunami; Breakwater; Particle method; SPH; Seepage flow; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This paper presents a stabilized incompressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics (ISPH) method to simultaneously simulate surface and seepage flow. The Navier-Stokes type equation, which manipulates the linear and nonlinear resistance effects caused from porous materials, are employed for tracking fluid motions in porous medium. READ MORE
