Abstract
The IH2VOF model can be used to simulate wave-structure interaction. This additional thesis aims to evaluate the performance of the IH2VOF model for determining the local hydraulic properties (flow velocities and water pressures) near the toe structure of a rubble mound breakwater. Firstly, the model is introduced and the appropriate computational domain and mesh size are determined, along with the other input variables for the model. The results of the IH2VOF model are compared to actual measurements of a breakwater experiment that was performed in a wave flume.
