The scope of this work is to present and discuss the results obtained from simulating three-
dimensional plunging breaking waves by solving the Navier–Stokes equations, in air and …

A two-phase flow CFD model based on the Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS)
equations coupled with the level set method (LSM) and k− ω turbulence model is used to …

Laboratory experiments were performed for solitary waves breaking on a constant slope. In
the second set of experiments a vertical cylinder was installed on the slope, which was …

This paper introduces and discusses numerical methods for free-surface flow simulations
and applies a large eddy simulation (LES) based free-surface-resolved CFD method to a …

When waves are breaking, several instabilities are observed to be responsible for several
features, like vortices, air-entrainment and droplets generation. Being able to ascertain if the …

The estimation of wave breaking and run-up on sloped beaches is a relevant issue in
different coastal engineering applications. The present study stresses on the capabilities of a …

The role of wave forcing on the main hydro‐morphological dynamics evolving in the shallow
waters of the nearshore and at river mouths is analyzed. Focus is mainly on the cross‐shore …

ABSTRACT A hydraulic jump is a rapid transition from a high-velocity open channel flow to a
slower fluvial motion. It is commonly experienced in streams and rivers, in industrial …

Coastal plants can significantly dissipate water wave energy and services as a part of
shoreline protection. Using plants as a natural buffer from wave impacts remains an …

Gullies are devices that connect the surface system to the sewer allowing the drainage of
water during a rainfall event. During severe flooding, the sewer might become pressurized …
