Abstract

This paper presents the Smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) model to examine the propagation of a regular and irregular waves. The SPH method is a grid-less Lagrangian approach which is capable of good accuracy in tracking large deformations of a free surface. The computations are validated against the experimental data and a good agreement is observed. The SPH modelling is shown to provide a promising tool in predicting the transformation of different waves. Keywords: numerical methods, regular waves, random wave, physical modelling, SPH, fluid viscosity, particle number.
