Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
An unstructured advancing front tetrahedral mesh system will be developed to conform at all times to a free surface disturbed by waves. The resulting moving mesh will be used to run three Navier Stokes unsteady flow finite element codes based on: (1) the vortex method, (2) artifical compressibility and (3) a higher order pressure velocity spectral element method. These codes will be mutually compared for proposed case studies to assess accuracy and making comparison with other data. A k - E turbulence model will be incorporated to allow computations up to tank test Reynolds numbers. Code development will be undertaken on workstations with production runs using parallel compuations either on an MPP mainframe or using MPI on a workstation cluster.
