【 摘 要 】

The development of third generation wave models is needed for a detailed study of wave dynamics and impact at coastal structures. This would require the modelling of wave flows with high distortion of the free surface at confined boundaries. In our opinion, the Volume of fluid method, which uses concepts of local advection of fluid in free surface flow modelling, is the prime candidate for simulating realistic flows at sea defences and walls. In this paper, the numerical techniques for the simulation of waves with highly distorted water/air interfaces at a slope, using the volume of fluid method, are considered.
