Learning objectives
After completing the course you will be able to:
- Set up, simulate and post-process a large variety of cases.
- Simulate surf zone hydrodynamics processes and wave interaction with coastal structures including three-dimensional random sea states and considering conventional or non conventional coastal structures.
- Analyse functionality and stability of coastal structures: wave reflection and transmission, wave run-up on coastal structures, wave dissipation, overtopping discharge, wave induced forces and moments.
- Apply advanced techniques as mesh movement or mesh refinement.
- Visualize your results using ParaView® and create videos of them.
What you get
