Abstract

With the improvement of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic (SPH), it has become one of most vigorous methods for breaking wave simulation. Recently we have developed an improved SPH method for simulating violent flow and wave impact to different angle slopes. The main features of the new method include the incompressible SPH method based the incompressible Poisson equation, and it also gives a new scheme to deal with the free surface and solid boundary. In this paper, the improved method will be applied to simulating various waves and wave impact interactions, and the results of comparison with experimental results are also given at last.
