Congested shallow water model: on floating body
Abstract
We consider the floating body problem in the vertical plane on a large space scale. More precisely, we are interested in the numerical modeling of body floating freely on the water such as icebergs or wave energy converters.
The fluid-solid interaction is formulated using a congested shallow water model for the fluid and Newton's second law of motion for the solid. We make a particular focus on the energy transfer between the solid and the water since it is of major interest for energy production. A numerical approximation based on the coupling of a nite volume scheme for the fluid and a Newmark scheme for the solid is presented. An entropy correction based on an adapted choice of discretization for the coupling terms is made in order to ensure a dissipation law at the discrete level. Simulations are presented to verify the method and to show the feasibility of extending it to more complex cases.
