Abstract

This paper focus on the study of free surface variation in a Numerical Wave Flume (NWF) due to a paddle movement. The NWF is the numerical representation of a 12.5 meters long Experimental Wave Flume (EWF) of the laboratory of the University of the Basque Country. The experiments and the numerical simulations are performed in several depths (0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 meters). Besides different velocities for the paddle movement are induced between 0.064 and 0.1 m/s. The numerical simulations are based on an Eulerian Multiphase of two fluids, air and water, more concretely the Volume of Fluid model. The surface variation in two points (6.0 and 6.3 meters from the wave flume start) is studied in both numerical and experimental wave flumes and compared its variation through the experiment time. Besides, the experiments will be analyzed in the wave maker theory. The results show the models quality in the first moments of the experiments, where the reflection does not appear, in which the results from both experimental and numerical simulations are pretty similar.
