Wave-Vegetation Interaction: An efficient numerical solver for highly compliant slender structures in waves

AboutThis coupled wave-vegetation model aims to tackle the interaction between linear waves and flexible vegetation with large deflections. Note that here only linear wave is considered. The vegetation model is based on the explicit truss spring model, which is capable of resolving the motion of flexible vegetation. The coupling between flow and vegetation is implemented using a diffused immersed boundary method.GitLabThe code is developed openly at DTU GitLab Repository - WaveVegetationInteraction where you can access the latest version. Future releases will be autuomatically imported.PublicationsWei, Z., Shao, Y., Kristiansen, T., & Kristiansen, D. (2024).
