Abstract
This study considers the wave overtopping loads on a building behind a rubble mound breakwater using 2D numerical modelling. The building will be used as Coast Guard station in Greystones Marina, which is located on the Irish Sea. Similar studies, using physical modelling, were carried out recently by Watson et al. (2018) and Park et al. (2017). The applicability of the numerical model in predicting wave overtopping forces is discussed. Appropriate design wave conditions are considered and the resultant loads are assessed to determine their impact on the design of the proposed building.Recorded Presentation from the vICCE (YouTube Link): https://youtu.be/4tZfjVDRPT4
Highlights
This study considers the wave overtopping loads on a building behind a rubble mound breakwater using 2D numerical modelling
DESCRIPTION OF THE NUMERICAL MODEL In order to simulate wave-structure interaction, the twodimensional (2DV) CFD numerical model IH2VOF was used. The validation of this model for the numerical analysis of wave overtopping of rubble mound breakwaters is described in Losada et al (2008)
The numerical model was constructed at a 1:1 scale
