Training Session Topics

TUESDAY: Training Session #1 (Hands-on afternoon sessions) [Lead: Shi]

  • FUNWAVE-TVD and Parallel Computing (MPI) - Documentation Wiki

  • Latest stable version (3.6) + beta version - current capabilities and those in development

  • Where do I get the code? - Version Control (Github)

  • Sandbox for USACE and DoD member with GUI

  • How to build (compile/link) and install FUNWAVE-TVD on different machines for parallel computation?

TUESDAY: Training Session #2 [Lead: Torres]

  • How to run FUNWAVE-TVD? Navigating the basic sections within the INPUT file for different simulations (numerics, physics, input, output, etc.).

  • Setting up (Linux/Mac OS X and HPC machines with PBS scheduler), running, and post-processing your first FUNWAVE-TVD simulation (1D beach runup or levee overtopping with shoaling and wetting/drying).

    PROGRESSION (for those participants needed additional challenge) - use the levee bathymetry to simulate a regular monochromatic wave overtopping the levee

  • 2D plane beach case with various wave conditions (different wavemakers)

  1. monochromatic waves

  2. Irregular waves

    PROGRESSION (for those participants needed additional challenge) - Analysis of wave-averaged properties.

WEDNESDAY: Training Session #3 [Lead: Shi]

Wave simulation on 2D random bathymetry with complex shoreline geometries

  1. Inlet problem (to include post-processing analysis of Harbor Resonance)

  2. Obstacles and Breakwaters (partially absorbing and reflecting inner boundaries)

    PROGRESSION (for those participants needed additional challenge) - Set up your own surface wave case

WEDNESDAY: Training Session #4 [Lead: Lam]

  • Ship-wakes

    1. Setup with multiple vessels (paths, size, velocities)

    2. A vessel moving on random bathymetry

    PROGRESSION (for those participants needed additional challenge) - Try the case of the circular island and set up a different path.

THURSDAY: Training Session #5 [Lead: Shi/Torres/Malej/Lam]

  • Group projects

    • Wind waves

    • Sediment transport

    • Ship wakes

    • Tsunami

    • USACE-specific projects
