摘要
Recent development of computing power and theoretical advances in computational fluid dynamics have made possible numerical simulations of water waves with full three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations. In this study, an internal wave maker using the mass source function approach was combined with the level set finite element method for generation and propagation of water waves. The model is first applied to the two-dimensional linear wave generation and propagation. Then, it is applied to the three-dimensional simulation of the wave generation and the problem of wave force evaluation on the vertical wall. To effectively utilize computational resources and enhance the speed of execution, parallel algorithms are developed and applied for the three-dimensional problems. The results of numerical simulations are compared with theoretical values and good agreements are observed.
