“…Such feedback on the reef hydrodynamics requires to run more complex wave-circulation numerical models. In the last decade, both short-wave-averaged models such as XBeach [33][34][35] or phase-resolving simulations using nonhydrostatic models such as SWASH [35][36][37] or Boussinesq-type models [38][39][40] have been successfully used to model wave transformation and/or related lagoonary circulation. In the present case, the first aim is to get a simple and robust view of the overall hydrodynamics of the system.…”

The present study aims to estimate the potential of artificial reef pass as a renewable source of energy. The overall idea is to mimic the functioning of natural reef–lagoon systems in which the cross-reef pressure gradient induced by wave breaking is able to drive an outward flow through the pass. The objective is to estimate the feasibility of a positive energy breakwater, combining the usual wave-sheltering function of immersed breakwater together with the production of renewable energy by turbines. A series of numerical simulations is performed using a depth-averaged model to understand the effects of each geometrical reef parameter on the reef–lagoon hydrodynamics. A synthetic wave and tide climate is then imposed to estimate the potential power production. An annual production between 50 and 70 MWh is estimated.

“…The model was able to solve 2-D numerical problems. A Boussinesq Model was employed for the simulation of the solitary wave run-up zone over back-reef slopes by Liu et al [7]. The effects of slope angle, reef flat width, and water depth over the reef flat were presented in this study.…”

A 2-D numerical wave tank (NWT) was applied for solving the interaction between a solitary wave and a moving circular cylinder. The cylinder was placed at various positions from the tank bed floor. The cylinder can move at a constant horizontal velocity towards the solitary wave. The collision between a solitary wave and a moving cylinder is investigated at various conditions. A total of fifteen cases were studied. Ten different numerical simulations were used, including five submergence depths and two different moving velocities. The other five different numerical simulations were studied when the cylinder was unmoved in the NWT for comparing wave-structure interaction results between the moving and unmoved cylinders. The numerical results were obtained by calculating Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and the volume of fluid (VOF) equations. Two different codes (User-Define-Function-UDF) were used for the generation of a solitary wave by moving a wave paddle and traveling cylinder in the NWT. The dynamic mesh method was applied for recreating mesh. First, the ability of CFD codes to generate a solitary wave by using wave paddle movement and the hydrodynamic forces of a moving cylinder were validated by numerical results. Further, the free-surface elevation and hydrodynamic forces were considered at various conditions. The numerical results show that moving cylinder velocity and the space between the cylinder and the tank bed floor have significant effects on surface displacement and hydrodynamic forces.

“…In [12], a two-dimensional wave model coupled with ice dynamics is developed to evaluate ice effects on shallow water propagation on a beach and in a channel. The study proposed by [13] utilizes a shock-capturing Boussinesq model to investigate the maximum momentum flux in the solitary wave runup zone over back-reef slopes. [14] simulates the tsunami propagation and flooding in Sicilian coastal areas.…”

The design and management of coastal engineering, like harbors and coastal defense structures, requires the simulation of hydrodynamic phenomena. This special issue collects five original papers that address state of the art numerical simulations of wave fields and wave-induced velocity fields in coastal areas. The first paper proposes a turbulence model for wave breaking simulation, which is expressed in terms of turbulent kinetic energy and dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy (k − ε); the proposed turbulence model is a modification of the standard k − ε turbulence models. The second paper investigates modalities by which wind interacts with wave motion, modifying the wave propagation dynamic. The third paper proposes a study on waves overtopping over coastal barriers. The fourth paper details the numerical simulation of a tsunami wave that propagates over an artificial reservoir, caused by a landslide that creates a solid mass to detach from the slopes and to slide into the reservoir. The fifth paper examines an application case concerning Cetraro harbor (Italy), which is carried out using three-dimensional numerical simulations of wave motion.
