Time Domain Simulation of Wave Action with Three Cylinders

By taking the 3D Laplace equation as the basic governing equation, a mathematical model with respect to the interaction between linear waves and arbitrary 3D structures was founded. For the example of wave action with three cylinders, numerical results show that wave force Fx decrease and wave force Fy increase in each cylinder by incident wave direction from 0° to 60°; wave height on origin point increases with incident wave direction increasing for given layout and incident wave conditions.
