Hello fellow modelers,
I am new to this OpenFoam environment for numerical modeling. I am trying to model a simple case to study the interaction of a tsunami wave with a structure inland (approximately 500 m onshore). I am wondering how exactly I would go about approaching this problem? I am assuming it would not make sense to build a model domain that is 500 m long. The topography is pretty flat. Do we need to assign an initial water level on the land areas for wave generation? It will be of great help if I can get some guidance on this. Rgds. |

Hello Ajay,
So you want to model a fluid-structure interaction (FSI) ? That is a very complicated task, but i think it is possible, i will leave some links as reference for you to investigate more on this subject: http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...-openfoam.html https://www.google.com.br/url?sa=t&r...kx07tEnwK_7xyg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Te9LCqPgT-Q But i think an easier approach would be to make a CFD model to calculate the pressure on the structure due to the waves, and then make a FEM model of the structure using the results from the CFD as loads input. I hope you find the best way to solve your problem. best regards, Igor L. |

Igor,
Thank you for your response. Yes, it is more of a wave-structure interaction model. I will check the references and see if I can find what I am looking for. Rgds, Ajay |
