Abstract
Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH): A meshfree particle method has been adopted to simulate wave overtopping. Both WCSPH and ISPH models have been applied to simulate wave overtopping due to random and solitary waves and, compared with past experiments and numerical studies. These models have further been extended to study overtopping characteristics over two types of sea walls: Vertical Wall (VW) and Flaring Shaped Sea (FSS) wall. Satisfactory agreement has been found between present SPH model and experiment for the dynamic pressure distribution on the vertical wall while wave rushes on it.
