Computational Study on Rogue Wave and Its Application to a Floating Body
Source abstract
Abstract
A rogue wave is a huge wave that is generated by wave energy focusing. Rogue waves can cause critical damage to ships and offshore platforms due to their great wave energy and unpredictability. In this paper, to generate a rogue wave, a bull’s-eye wave, which is a focusing of multi-directional waves, was simulated in a numerical wave tank. A multi-directional wave generating boundary was developed using OpenFOAM, which is an open-source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) library. The wave height and profile of the generated rogue wave were compared to those of the regular wave. In addition, the pressure and velocity contours of water particles and velocity vectors at the free surface of the rogue wave were studied, along with the kinematic and dynamic effects of the rogue wave on a floating body.
