We propose a two-equation turbulence model based on modification of the k−ε standard model, for simulation of a breaking wave. The proposed model is able to adequately simulate the energy dissipation due to the wave breaking and does not require any “a priori” criterion to locate the initial wave breaking point and the region in which the turbulence model has to be activated.
We propose a one-equation turbulence model based on a modified closure relation for the length scale of turbulence. The proposed model is able to adequately represent the energy dissipation due to the wave breaking and does not need any criterion to a priori locate the wave breaking point and the region in which the turbulence model has to be activated.
In this paper a new numerical model for the simulation of the wave breaking is proposed. In order to represent the complex geometry of coastal regions, the three-dimensional equations of motion are expressed in integral contravariant form and are solved on a curvilinear boundary conforming grid. A time-dependent transformation of the vertical coordinate that is a function of the oscillation of the turbulent wave boundary layer is proposed. New boundary condition bottom for the equations of motion expressed in contravariant form are proposed.
