CFD models (Computational Fluid Dynamics) provide valuable tools to evaluate the interaction of complex flows with coastal works, beyond empirical formulas for overtopping, which are limited to the range of values used in the experiments. However, its use is still incipient in the Chilean context, thus posing
various challenges to users.
This study presents the calibration and validation of a numerical wave channel using the OpenFOAM CFD model with the olaFlow solver. Cases of waves in progressive, quasistationary and stationary regimes are analyzed.
