Abstract

Water wave propagation over shallowly submerged structures is of much interest in the context of submerged wave energy devices, breakwaters or barrier reefs. This work examines waves passing over a two-dimensional shallowly submerged fixed step extending to the seabed. The problem has been modelled in CFD using the open source toolbox OpenFoam utilising the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes Equations. These simulations are compared to experimental work from a previous study as means of validation and extended to larger amplitude waves for a single incident wave frequency. The flow over the step is characterised and examined in the context of developing an efficient hybrid numerical model for the problem.
