free RANS code with free surface ability
 

Dear CFDian fellows,

We are working on a research project of free surface wave simualtion with a floating structure. Does anyone know a free RANS code which includes the free surafec capability or can be modified to include the free surafce feature? Both structures or unstructured, finite difference or finite volume code will do.

Hi,

I think the following report is relevant to your work:

CACR-97-02 ``A Numerical Model for Breaking Waves: The Volume of Fluid Method'' Philip L.-F. Liu and Pengzhe Lin, Center for Applied Coastal Research, University of Delaware.

Also, they have some codes availabe free of charge: Check the following link:
