In this paper the TELEMAC-3D model has been hired to simulate and study the high waves' interaction with coastal structures. Therefore a special arrangement of TELEMAC-3D has been prepared in this study to simulate wave generation, coastal processes, wave set-up and overtopping over coastal structures. Experimental data has been used to verify this arrangement of the model. Thereafter, the model has been used to simulate the interaction of waves induced by Cyclone Gonu and Ramin Port breakwaters. Visually comparisons between images provided by Iran Fisheries Organization during the Gonu event and the TELEMAC3D results conclude that the numerical model could simulate the interaction of Gonu induced wave and Ramin breakwaters with a good accuracy. Different kind of results like inundation area, wave overtopping discharge over the breakwaters and wave penetration in port were obtained in this simulation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
