Generation of three-dimensional fully nonlinear water waves by a submerged moving object / Chih-Hua Chang in Journal of engineering mechanics, Vol. 137 N° 2 (Fevrier 2011)

Résumé : This paper describes a numerical investigation on the generation of three-dimensional (3D) fully nonlinear water waves by a submerged object moving at speeds varied from subcritical to supercritical conditions in an unbounded fluid domain. Considering a semispheroid as the moving object, simulations of the time evolutions of 3D free-surface elevation and flow field are performed. The present 3D model results are found to agree reasonably well with other published vertical two-dimensional (2D) and quasi-3D numerical solutions using Boussinesq-type models. Different from the 2D cases with near critical moving speeds, the 3D long-term wave pattern suggests that in addition to the circularly expanded upstream advancing solitonlike waves, a sequence of divergent and transverse waves are also developed behind the moving object. The velocity distributions and associated fluid-particle trajectories at the free-surface and middle layers are presented to show the 3D feature of the motion. The results under various vertical positions (referred as gap) of a moving object are also compared. It is found the gap has shown a substantial influence on the generated waves, especially in the wake region, when an object moves at a near critical or subcritical speed. However, the results under the case with a high supercritical moving speed indicate the gap has a negligible effect on the generated upstream and downstream waves.
