InDepth documentation
 

Hi,

Is there a place where one can find the theoretical background for the different modules that are implemented in REED3D?. For example, the equations+coefficients in the porous media flow modeling and wave-breaking criterion.
The exiting user manual is quite parsimonious in that respect and there are, obviously, more than one modeling option for each issue. Therefore, it is difficult to really understand the usage.

Cheers,
Shai

Dear Shai,
You can find in depth documentation of the equation, coefficients and application in the published papers related to the topic.

For porous media/ VRANS I would suggest:
Sasikumar, A., Kamath, A., & Bihs, H. (2020). Modeling porous coastal structures using a level set method based VRANS-solver on staggered grids. Coastal Engineering Journal, 62(2), 198-216.

or
Srineash, V. K., Kamath, A., Murali, K., & Bihs, H. (2020). Numerical Simulation of Wave Interaction with Submerged Porous Structures and Application for Coastal Resilience. Journal of Coastal Research, 36(4), 752-770.

A conference paper on the breaking wave criterion in the FNPF model is in:
Pakozdi, C., Kamath, A., Wang, W., & Bihs, H. (2020, August). Representation of Breaking Wave Kinematics in the Fully Nonlinear Potential Flow Model REEF3D:: FNPF. In International Conference on Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering (Vol. 84409, p. V008T08A011). American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
which is based on:
Baquet, A., Kim, J., & Huang, Z. J. (2017). Numerical modeling using cfd and potential wave theory for three-hour nonlinear irregular wave simulations. In ASME 2017 36th International Conference on Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering. American Society of Mechanical Engineers Digital Collection.

A paper on this in REEF3D is under review.

thank you very much

Pressure evaluating in FNPF
 

Dear Kamath,

I have an FNPF model with Reef3d and want to evaluate pressure. Do you have any specific solution for that?
I guess that I can estimate [a(Fi)/at] in postprocessing with a central discretization; then, evaluate P in Energy Eq. Is it true?

Hi Shai,

just a general comment: we have post-prints for most of our journal papers on reef3d.com: https://reef3d.wordpress.com/publications-reef3d/.

In case you need a journal or conference paper where we don't have a post-print, you should try researchgate, we typically answer all publication requests right away.
