| Abstract: | The interaction between structure and wave is a typical phenomenon in naval architecture and ocean engineering. In this paper, numerical simulation is carried out to study the interaction between a two-dimensional submerged, fixed,horizontal rigid plate and solitary wave with our in-house meshless particle CFD solver MLParticle-SJTU. First, the in-house CFD solver is verified by experimental results conducted at the State Key Laboratory of Coastal and Offshore Engineering, Dalian University of Technology. During the verification, the plate is submerged under water and the solitary wave with a given amplitude is generated by a piston-type wave maker. Free surface elevation of the wave and the pressure impacting on the plate is recorded and compared with experimental data respectively. The predicted pressure and surface elevation agree well with the experimental results. Then in order to further investigate factors affecting wave-structure interaction, wave height, submerged depth and plate length are analyzed. |
