MPS Simulation of Wave Forces Acting on a Cylinder

摘要

In this study, a three-dimensional numerical wave tank was adopted togenerate a second-order Stokes wave. The time history of the waveelevation was compared with the analytical solution of the second-orderStokes wave theory. A vertical cylinder fixed in the numerical wavetank was then simulated under regular wave conditions. The wave forceacting on the cylinder was obtained under one wave condition by themoving particle semi-implicit (MPS) method. The pressure distributionof the fluid particle was smooth and stable. It is shown that the MPSmethod may be an effective numerical method to describe fluid–solidinteractions.
