Description

This course focuses on breaking wave impact analysis using numerical simulation called SPH. Traditionally, wave load analysis of a coastal structure is done theoretically. This, however, is very limited to certain ideal condition. Broken wave or large freak wave, such as tsunami wave, is highly irregular and non-linear, which makes them difficult to be analyzed theoretically. For these conditions, most engineers rely on experiment. While closer to real life application, physical experiments are expensive, time consuming, and require a high level of expertise. Numerical simulation combined the theoretical low cost with experimental accuracy, making it a suitable option for modern engineer. This course is intended for complete beginner with no prior understanding of coding and CFD. Some level of fluid-dynamics understanding maybe needed to understand the material, but not needed to perform the simulation. Upon the completion of this course, the learner is expected to be able to download and install all of the free-to-use software, run the simulation, animate the flow, and perform the basic data analysis. In this course you will be able to:1. edit the geometry model of your simulation 2. set up the correct simulation parameters value 3. run an SPH simulation 4. Validate your simulation to make sure the results is accurate4. View the fluid flow field using Paraview5. Analyze the simulation dataWho is the target of this course?Engineering students, engineer, animator, design student, or anyone with interest of fluid research. There is no knowledge in fluid dynamics needed for this course
