Abstract
The active wave absorption method has been widely employed in numerical wave tanks. The wave absorption performance of active wave absorption methods is investigated within a numerical wave tank based on a lattice Boltzmann method. Specifically, two active wave absorption methods—the classical shallow water method and the extended range method—are compared. By analyzing the contributions of free and bound components in the harmonics of the reflected wave to the reflection coefficient, we found that the extended-range method is more effective than the shallow-water method in absorbing the reflection of the primary harmonic. Moreover, a wave absorption performance index is proposed to carry out rapid evaluation of active wave absorption method performance without resorting to numerical simulations. Our findings indicate that the performance index ratio of two active wave absorption methods closely mirrored their reflection coefficient ratio. Notably, the extended-range method significantly reduces the performance index in both shallow and deep waters, exhibiting superior active absorption performance within the lattice Boltzmann method-based numerical wave tank context compared to the shallow-water method.
