Numerical simulations of coastal processes over a three-dimensional rippled bed and a perched beach
Abstract
The research object of this dissertation includes two thematic sections in the general investigation of coastal processes: a) The effect of three-dimensional (3D) ripples on the turbulent oscillatory boundary layer and b) The performance of a perched beach.All the results were obtained from simulations based on the numerical solution of the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations. The turbulence was modeled using the large-eddy simulations (LES). The application of the no-slip flow conditions on the 3D bed was achieved through a modified immersed boundary (IB) method for coastal and river flows. Concerning the PB cases, the Navier–Stokes equations were solved for two-phase flow and the air-water interface was tracked using the level-set method. In the area of wave run-up, the coast was treated as a porous medium, through appropriate modifications of the Navier–Stokes equations. To achieve large Reynolds number simulations, a wall layer model was used to enforce the no-slip condition at ...
