OpenFOAM design sensitivity analysis on a homogeneous low-crested structure with concrete elements seaward of a vertical seawall to reduce overtopping

This study treats a detached homogenous low-crested structure (HLCS) made of Cubipod concrete elements placed seaward of a vertical wall (forming a basin in between) to reduce overtopping. Assessing the complex hydrodynamics and effects of changing the geometry of such a system in relation to overtopping reduction is challenging. The...
