Abstract

This work describes the numerical implements of a two-dimensional viscous Numerical Wave Flume (NWF), which is based on the Finite Element Method (FEM), Computational Lagrangian-Eulerian Advection Remap Volume of Fluid Method (CLEAR-VOF), internal wave generation and artificial wave damping. Owning to the inherent consistence of CLEAR-VOF with FEM, it allows the simulations to be conducted in the context of irregular mesh partition. The present numerical wave flume is validated by the problems of standing wave trains in front of vertical wall, liquid sloshing in container with multi-baffles, solitary wave propagation and diffusion over vertical step, wave-induced fluid resonance in narrow gaps.
