Numerical Investigation of Wave Formation in an Annular Channel

Abstract

The article presents numerical modeling of the formation of a solitary wave in an annular channel under the action of a continuous wind generated by several sources distributed across the channel. The numerical results are compared with experimental data. Efficient application of parallel computational resources, produces a good result in acceptable time. The proposed model simulates the formation of solitary waves and the interaction of two nonlinear waves, and also produces the conditions of formation of 1, 2, 3, and 4 waves on a liquid surface.
