Computerized Decision Aid Applied to Meshless Method for the Use Case: Wave-Structure Interactions

In this paper, a meshless numerical model is proposed to simulate the propagation of the linear free surface water waves, using the fundamental solution of the Laplace equation as the radial basis function. Further, a spatial parameter is introduced to be free from the ill-conditioning effect without resorting to the use of source points. We are interested in the interaction mechanisms of a rectangular obstacle placed at the bottom of the numerical wave tank (NWT) in the presence of the waves in order to provide details on the attenuation process, and validate the numerical tool that we have established for the treatment of this issue. A comparison of the numerical and experimental outcomes is presented and is the subject of our discussion of the above targets.
