Verification and validation of a spray water model for maritime structures

Water spray is a major contributor to icing of ships and maritime structures. The small size of the droplets in the water spray causes them to easily cool down and freeze to the different structures. Icing can hamper operations on both ships and other maritime structures due to blockage of equipment and slippery deck areas. Besides, if icing...

Numerical modeling of wave run-up on a dike: Simulations with the VOF-model ComFLOW

Wave fields in the close vicinity of a coastal structure can be very complex, this is especially the case during extreme storm conditions and for complex geometries. There is a growing interest for numerical simulation tools capable of predicting in detail the complex hydrodynamic loads due to waves and currents and its effect at structures. In...
