| Sumario: | In this work the Weakly Compressible SPH-based (WCSPH) model DualSPHysics has been validated and applied to study the random wave overtopping of dike-promenade layout in shallow water conditions. Data from physical model tests carried out in a small-scale wave flume have been used for model validation. The results have been compared in terms of water surface elevation, mean discharges and individual overtopping volumes distribution. The selected geometrical layout is representative of the coastal area of Premià de Mar, in Catalonia (Spain). This stretch of the coast presents both railways and a bike path very close to the shore and therefore exposed to possible sea storms. For the first time an SPH-based model has been employed to reproduce long-lasting wave overtopping tests, made of time series of 1000 irregular waves, which are representative of real sea states. The density diffusion scheme and the modified Dynamic Boundary Conditions have been applied in the present simulations. By employing standard setup for SPH modelling of wave-structure interaction problems of a very long duration, stable simulations and accurate results have been attained. |
