Abstract

In order to study the peculiarities of wave slamming on beam-plate structures on a slope, two-dimensional numerical models of regular waves have been developed on the basis of the FLUENT software. Firstly, the validity of the numerical wave flume was verified. Then, with plentiful simulations, the parametric studies were performed for different wave steepness, structure geometry, and the distance between the underside of the horizontal plate and the still water level. The effects of the three parameters on the impact pressure and vertical velocities were investigated. Lastly, the statistical relationship between the waves’ impact pressures and the corresponding flow velocities was investigated. The results had a certain significance to the further understanding of the mechanism of the impact of the waves.
