Abstract

A mass source wave-maker method is generalized as the two-wave-source wave-maker method to generate bichromatic waves in the numerical model, whose governing equations are Navier–Stokes equations with the continuity equation. The Fluent software is taken as the calculation platform. In the numerical model, the waves at both the left and right ends of the numerical wave flume are absorbed with the momentum sources added in Navier–Stokes equations. The numerical simulation of bichromatic waves propagation with different frequencies in uniform deep, intermediate, and shallow water has been conducted. The numerical solutions are compared with the theoretical solutions obtained on the basis of Stokes waves theory. The frequency spectrum analyses of the results are conducted and discussed, and the differences between the weakly nonlinear theoretical solutions and the fully nonlinear numerical results are investigated in detail. It is found that the numerical model can effectively simulate the nonlinear effect of bichromatic waves in water with different depths, and the theoretical solutions only adapt the deep and intermediate water. The results indicate that the present numerical model is valuable in the aspect of practical application.
