A CFD approach to rubble mound breakwater design

The paper provides some developments of a numerical approach (“Numerical Calculation of Flow Within Armour Units”, FWAU) to the design of rubble mound breakwaters. The hydrodynamics of wave induced flow within the interstices of concrete blocks is simulated by making use of advanced, but well tested...
