Notice: As of 2014 and for the forthcoming years, the publication frequency/periodicity of WSEAS Journals is adapted to the 'continuously updated' model. What this means is that instead of being separated into issues, new papers will be added on a continuous basis, allowing a more regular flow and shorter publication times. The papers will appear in reverse order, therefore the most recent one will be on top.

ABSTRACT: This work deals with a novel three-dimensional finite-volume non-hydrostatic shock-capturing model for the simulation of wave transformation processes and wave-structure interaction. The model is based on an integral formulation of the Navier-Stokes equations solved on a coordinate system in which the vertical coordinate is varying in time. A finite-volume shock-capturing numerical technique based on high order WENO reconstructions is adopted in order to discretize the fluid motion equations.

KEYWORDS: three-dimensional, time-dependent coordinate system, free surface flow, shock-capturing
