Abstract

This book focuses on various unsteady gravity flows with a free surface in nature and engineering, i.e., water waves, and introduces the theories, methodologies, and case studies on numerical simulation. Wave forces are the main external loads on marine engineering structures. The wave force calculation is one of the key issues in the design of coastal and marine engineering. This chapter describes numerical simulation of wave forces on structures.
