Abstract
In this paper a numerical model for predicting waves generated by nearshore submarine mass-movements is described. The model is based on the Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) equations with the k - ε turbulence model. The volume of fluid (VOF) method is employed to track the free surface. The submarine mass movement is prescribed. Numerical results obtained from the present model are validated with laboratory experiments and analytical solutions. Very good agreements are observed.
