Geometry Evaluating Piecewise Linear Interface Computation (ge-plic) Tailored to the Numerical Simulation of Breaking Waves

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The Dynamics of breaking waves are generally of significant interest for coastal engineering disciplines, since they result in considerable slamming forces on structures (Kamath et al., 2016). A key point for the accurate modelling of breaking waves is the representation of the free surface. Especially over-topping breaking waves put high demands on the capabilities of the free surface representation method, due to their complex geometries and features such as air cavities and reconnecting surfaces.
