Abstract

This paper presents the results of ongoing work regarding numerical simulations of breaking wave impacts on a surface-piercing cylinder. The computational fluid dynamics solver, Code Saturne, using the volume of fluid approach, is presented and utilised for offshore hydrodynamics. Phase-focused waves are employed to recreate singular breaking events under relatively controlled conditions. The fluid shape and kinematics are described during the breaking process and the load produced by a plunging breaker on a rigid cylinder is investigated.
