Numerical analysis of berm breakwater

This study examines the analysis of the Berm breakwaters using CFD. The berm breakwater model of height 0.7m with slope 1V:1.5H, with variable berm widths is aimed in ANSYS. The berm breakwater model is simulated at wave characteristics with wave height shifting from 0.10m to 0.16m and the water depth varying from 0.30m to 0.45m. The system conceded out depends on CFD strategies with surface following VOF calculation. General decoration of the wave interface with breakwater is amply reproduced in the CFD software. The Run-up values obtained by using empirical formula growth with the wave time period, The Run-up values gotten from the software are around 10 to 20 % different from the values attained from the empirical values. The Run-up values obtained by using empirical formula upturn with the wave time period. The process of wave run-up and wave rundown are acceptably apprehended. The decent results accomplished are promising concerning the use of CFD for breakwater analysis.
