... Abstract A finite volume method based Cartesian grids is adopted to solve the Navier-Stokes equations using Improved Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation turbulence model with OpenFOAM for the study the 3D evolution as a large depression internal solitary wave propagates across a vertical cylinder...

... model on wave-current force and run-up on a bottom-mounted vertical cylinder and a complex bridge pier are carried out. INTRODUCTION The problem of wave-current interaction with bodies has been widely studied in the frequency domain (Grue and Palm, 1985; Wu and Eatock Taylor, 1987; Matsui et al, 1991...

... for the second-order force on an articulated vertical cylinder. Results from the model tests on a circular dock are also presented to validate the theoretical predictions. INTRODUCTION The wave loads acting on floating structures in irregular seas include the second-order, high- and low-frequency force...

... disturbance. In the context of second order problem, a lot of papers have been published previously [1-5, 7-13]. However, even for the wave diffraction against a vertical cylinder, many solutions of second order problem obtained by different authors exhibit obvious differences, which are partly affected...
