【 摘 要 】

Taking into account the sensible approach in the coastal zones, in these types of areas were found different ways of understanding and description of the phenomena occurring during the water wave propagation. The waves hit the zone with a force that can affect the shoreline. Coastal protection measures were implemented, which include the hydrodynamic structures. The hydrodynamic process plays an important role in coastal area which involves the need for knowledge on the prediction of hydrodynamic loading required up to a very detailed level, such as maximum or minimum pressures. In this paper, we will present a study of wave fields that propagates in a simplified, constant-slope coastal model and relations between waves and hydrodynamics structures. The processes of wave fields include dissipative mechanisms such as depth-induced wave breaking, bottom friction and the interaction between wave field and coastal dike. The numerical models were constructed using ANSYS-Fluent program for modelling fluid flow and to solve the unsteady, two dimensional Navier-Stokes equations of incompressible fluid. Water waves are generated in two-phase fluid domain, where Volume of Fluid Model is used for generation of the two-phase flow model - the water-air interaction.
