A Study on Analysis of Tsunami-induced Behaviors of a Floating Structure Using the 2-D MPS Method
Year: 2009
Type: article
Abstract: The present paper describes the application of the moving particle semi-implicit method (MPS method) to a prediction of drifting distance and a collision force on a floating structure. Effectiveness of the application is verified.Calculation results of the MPS method are compared with solutions of the Stokes theory and corresponding experimental results in a wave tank. Solitary waves are applied to simulated tsunamis in numerical simulations and to the model experiment. A corresponding floating body is a pontoon type in this study. Tsunami propagation, the grounding on a wharf of the floating body,drifting of the floating body and a collision force of the floating body to a fixed wall is used to validation of the MPS method. From the comparison between the numerical simulation results and the experimental results, the applicability of the MPS method is discussed.
