Development of 3-Dimensional Fully Nonlinear Potential Flow Planar Wave Tank in Framework of OpenFOAM
A 3-Dimensional numerical wave tank based on the fully nonlinear potential flow theory has been developed in OpenFOAM, where the Laplace equation of velocity potential is discretized by Finite Volume Method. The water surface is tracked by the semi-Eulerian-Lagrangian method, where water particles o...
