INTERACTION OF A SOLITARY WAVE AND A FRONT STEP SIMULATED BY LEVEL SET METHOD

摘要

As a new method, the Level Set method had been developed to compute the interface of two_phase flow. The basic mathematical theory and the detailed method to solve the free surface hydrodynamic problem had been investigated. By using the Level Set method, the transformation of a solitary wave over a front step was simulated. The results were in good agreement with laboratory experiments.
