Wave propagation over a submerged bar: benchmarking of VoF, sigma transformation, and SPH numerical models against physical wave flume tests

Abstract

Benchmarking of three fundamentally different CFD models, each widely used within their type, against physical validation tests. Comparative analysis of the numerical models with emphasis on accuracy and computational costs. Datasets from both physical wave flume tests and numerical models are made public for benchmarking/validation by others.
