“…Compared with commercial software, open-source codes have advantages in removing parallel scaling-related costs (among other benefits such as enabling the implementation of bespoke solvers or algorithms, as well as transparency). Martínez-Ferrer et al (2018) established an FSI simulation tool using OpenFOAM. Both fluid and structure domains were discretised with the finite volume method and solved with OpenFOAM using up to four CPU cores.…”

A multiphase fluid-structure interaction (FSI) framework using open-source software has been developed, utilising components able to run on high-performance computing platforms. A partitioned approach is employed, ensuring a separation of concerns (fluid, structure, and coupling), allowing design flexibility and robustness while reducing future maintenance effort. Multiphase FSI test cases have been simulated and compared with published results and show good agreement. This demonstrates the ability of this multiphase FSI framework in simulating complex and challenging cases involving a free liquid surface.

“…The main drawback was that 3D effects around the structures were not taken into account. Martínez-Ferrer et al (2018) applied the implementations presented in Martínez-Ferrer et al (2016) to study the interaction of two-phase fluid flows with elastic structures. Mintgen and Manhart (2018) developed coupled simulations to estimate forces and drag coefficient for flood wave impacts on an obstacle.…”

“…These equations can generally be discretized on a 2-or 3-D grid by the use of well-established techniques such as the Finite Volume (FV) or Finite Element (FE) methods. With the advent of new and more powerful hardware, including Central Processing Unit (CPU) and Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), the efficiency and effectiveness of the aforementioned methodologies have improved significantly, allowing the study of real-life problems [7][8][9][10][11].…”

The Pont del Petroli is a dismissed pier in the area of Badalona, Spain, with high historical and social value. This structure was heavily damaged in January 2020 during the storm Gloria that hit southeastern Spain with remarkable strength. The reconstruction of the pier requires the assessment and characterization of the wave loading that determined the structural failure. Therefore, a state-of-the-art Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) code was employed herein as an aid for a planned experimental campaign that will be carried out at the Maritime Engineering Laboratory of Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya-BarcelonaTech (LIM/UPC). The numerical model is based on Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) and has been employed to simulate conditions very similar to those that manifested during the storm Gloria. The high computational cost for a full 3-D simulation has been alleviated by means of inlet boundary conditions, allowing wave generation very close to the structure. Numerical results reveal forces higher than the design loads of the pier, including both self-weight and accidental loads. This demonstrates that the main failure mechanism that led to severe structural damage of the pier during the storm is related to the exceeded lateral soil resistance. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this research represents the first known application of SPH open boundary conditions to model a real-world engineering case.
