Abstract
This study is to investigate, experimentally and numerically, wave-induced flow inside and around a porous structure. Laboratory experiments were conducted to visualize the wave-induced flow field. Numerical simulations were also performed for quantitative investigation of the flow and its governing quantities. The calculated wave height distribution is confirmed in good agreement with experimental result. Flow passing through the permeable structure is also confirmed in both experiments and computations. Moreover, it is found that the flow near the corner can play an important role on overall flow field inside and around the structure.
