Abstract
A new numerical multiphase model is presented to study wave propagation over arbitrary shaped submerged obstacles. The high order space accurate weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) method is adopted along with relatively coarse Cartesian uniform grids. Viscosity effects are included and the free surface is tracked using the level set method. The model is validated via application to solitary and progressive wave motion over rectangular, trapezoidal and semicircular obstacles. The complex flow field features induced near a large sized obstacle, including separation vortices and large free surface deformations, are accurately reproduced. Compared to other relatively complicated models, the present model is efficient and produces enhanced results.
