Draft:Wavedyne

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wavedyne is a hydrodynamic model to simulate effluent plumes, flushing, waves, sediment plumes and entrainment. The model has been used for industrial discharges.[1][2][3][4] and coastal developments[5]. Its older, Delaunay triangle-type version, frequently operated in conjunction with the FVCOM, was originally part of the 3D SMART (3D Simulation for Marine and Atmospheric Reactive Transport)[1][2][3][4]. The since 2022 used stand-alone, generalized version of 3D SMART's hydrodynamic model, that works with Delaunay, quadrilateral, and Voronoi meshes, is the Wavedyne hydrodynamic model in reference to its utilization for wave-resolving Voronoi mesh-borne simulations[5].

Development

[edit]

Wavedyne was developed by Johannes Lawen whilst at the Texas A&M University[6] and Hamburg University of Technology[7][8], initially with the goal to model nonlinear residual chlorine reactivity of effluents at Mesaieed Industrial City[1][2][4][9]. In the early 2020s the model has been increasingly used to model other coastal developments such as Al Khor Harbor, Doha Bay[5], and cable trenching outside Qatar with funding stemming from projects involving developers such as Vinci, Parsons, and Vodafone. Recent years saw the addition of features for remote sensing[10], meshing[5], and model validation via the method of manufactured solutions[11] with study sites and collaborators in Bahrain and the Eastern Mediterranean respectively. The model can currently be obtained at environment.report.

Overview

[edit]

Wavedyne solves the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Whereas the earlier 3D SMART run explicit and semi-implicit sweeping algorithms, formulated for fluid dynamics, Wavedyne utilizes explicit FVM algorithms with implicit algorithms serving merely for cross-validation. Modules include:

Wave simulations are not conducted via traditional spectral models but by resolving waves with finely resolved Voronoi meshes[5], requiring GPU acceleration for domains in excess of several hundred meters and to depict meaningful timescales.

Applications

[edit]

Wavedyne and formerly 3D SMART have been applied to various projects, modeling initially only reactive transport and ultimately momentum transport, waves, and sediment transport[12]:
