Abstract
In this paper, we describe the development and validation of a numerical model based on coupling a higher-order Boundary Element Method (BEM) solution of fully nonlinear potential flow equations to a Volume Of Fluid (VOF) solution of Euler equations, in three-dimensions (3-D). In the model, the BEM solution is used to initialize the VOF/Euler computations. Numerical simulations of breaking waves on sloping beaches for 2-D (using an earlier model) and 3-D flows are carried out.
