For the design of offshore structures, an accurate assessment of the ability of the structure to survive in extreme sea conditions is of prime importance. Next to scaled model tests on the structure in waves, also CFD capabilities are at the disposal of the designer. However even with the fastest computers available, it is still a challenge to use CFD in the design stage because of the large computational resources they require. In this study we focus our attention on the implementation of an absorbing boundary condition (ABC) in a wave-structure interaction problem. Unlike the traditional approach where the boundaries are located far from the object to avoid reflection, we gradually locate them closer while at the same time observing the influence of the absorbing boundary condition on the solution. Numerical calculations are performed using the CFD simulation tool ComFLOW which is a volume-of-fluid (VOF) based Navier-Stokes solver. Comparisons with experimental results are also provided and the performance of the ABC is discussed. |
