Abstract
In the present work, a numerical wave-current flume has been developed, based on a standard k-εmodel. The numerical flume was 12.86m in length, with a numerical beach at one end of the flume. The Volume of Fluid (VOF) method was used to capture the free surface in the flume. The velocity profile obtained at the test section from the numerical simulation has then been compared with experimental data and good agreement found. Periodic velocities in the bottom boundary layer have been obtained which agree well with the experimental data. The model provides an insight to the changes in bed shear stress time histories that characterise wave current interaction.
