Hello,

I am trying to simulate breaking waves interactions with structures such as monopiles. I had made a convergence study and my results are close to the experimental results. Although, because I am using a turbulence model ( k- omega SST ) and wall functions are activated near the walls the maximum yplus value during the wave breaking is very big (around 5000) and the average is 500 and minimum around 0.2 . What should I do with the results? Are the results correct? why I have very close results with the experiment despite of the high value of Yplus?

Thanks you very much,

Kind regards,

Renos
