I want to simulate a Wave in the flume
 

I want to simulate a Wave in the flume..
how should I define boundary conditions ?
I mean in which direction should I define Flow?

wave are always defined at the x or y mesh boundaries, i.e., vertical boundaries. Designate a mesh boundary a wave boundary, set the initial fluid volume in the domain using fluid height, use the same height at the wave boundary, set the wave length and amplitude - and you are good to go.

Tnx a lot for help..
but.. what do u mean by : " wave are always defined at the x or y mesh boundaries .. "
you mean there is no mesh need for Z direction ?

No, mesh should be defined in all three directions. What I meant is that in FLOW-3D surface wave generators are implemented as mesh boundary conditions and can be applied at any of the four mesh boundaries, xmin, xmax, ymin or ymax.

thank you for informations.

fortunately after all I simulated the wave but there is another problem I faced, is the water dept decrease gradually .
I chose X min ( LW ) but really i don't know what should I choose for X max ?
in case of " continuative " the water dept decreased gradually.
in case of " Symmetry " water turn back after it reach to the end of mesh.

can u help me with that ?
i need no decrease in water dept and continuant wave for example like a seaside.

choose the "Outflow" b.c. with the option "Allow fluid to enter...".

thank you Stefmascio...

but there is still dept decreasing.. :(

Dear Stefmascio...

When I did your suggestion for choosing the "Allow fluid to enter...” after running simulation the water dept start decreasing gradually and suddenly after 20 sec, new stream started coming into the flume with reverse direction, interfacing the waves and the incoming fluid cause an overtopping the water depth…
so this suggestion might not be a proper solution....
do u have any other idea ?

Model Setup\ Numerics\Wave boundary conditioon
then to choose:
Eliminate net volume flux at wave boundary,or
Include net volume flux at wave boundary.

good luck!

Dear Bejewel ...

there is no " wave boundary condition " in Numerics ....
and really I could not fined any of your suggestions there....

thank you any way :)

Dear mahdi,

Try to change mesh resolution.
