Abstract

The numerical model SKYLLA, developed for simulation of breaking waves on coastal structures is described. The model is based on the Volume Of Fluid method and solves the two-dimensional (2DV) Navier-Stokes equations. Weakly reflecting boundary conditions allow waves to enter and leave the computational domain. Impermeable boundaries can be introduced to simulate a structure. A two-model approach can be used to simulate overtopping over a low crested structure. Results obtained with the model are compared with those obtained with physical model tests for waves on a 1:20 slope of a submerged structure.
