Abstract
We present a numerical solver for dealing with the problem of wave-current interaction with a horizontal cylinder near free surface. The solver solves the filtered Navier-Stokes equations which are discretized using a fourth-order-accurate compact finite volume scheme on a collocated grid. The turbulence effect is modelled by a subgrid-scale model using a large eddy simulation, and the free surface and the cylinder are modelled by a volume of fluid method and a ghost cell immersed boundary method. The pressure-velocity coupling is ensured via a momentum interpolation method. We obtain the hydrodynamic force and its spectra characteristics, dynamic pressure distribution, streamline topology and vorticity patterns with different immersed depths under uniform currents, regular waves and wave-current flows. Validation is performed by comparing the calculated hydrodynamic force with the measured data within one wave period. The results show that the position of vortex shedding and dissipation is different for the cases under different immersed depth in regular waves and wave-current flows. The dynamic pressure around the cylinder as the force reaches its peak value changes with immersed depth. The value and phase of the force are sensitive to immersed depth.
