Abstract
A three-dimensional fully nonlinear numerical wave tank (NWT) is developed by using a time-domain higher-order boundary element method (HOBEM). The source generation of waves is adopted to generate input waves. The mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian (MEL) method is utilized to track and refresh the free surface. The model is applied to three examples of wave evolution and harmonic decomposition during propogation over a submerged bar and numerical results are compared with the experimental data and the solutions of Boussinesq model. It shows that the present model agrees better with the measurements than the Boussinesq model and are more adaptable for stronger nonlinear waves.
