Numerical model for interactions between shallow water wave and continuous submerged porous structures

Abstract

Submerged porous breakwater in shallow estuarine environments is considered to have the potential to provide shoreline protection as well as offshore structures. The research aims to address how submerged porous structures can effectively attenuate wave energy in shallow waters. In this paper, the wave generation library waves2Foam is used to generate waves. A series of numerical experiments are conducted taking into account different physical parameters of porous structures and wave factors.
