Dynamic and kinematic characterization of the impulsive wavemaker system in a numerical wave tank

We study the dynamical response of a piston-type wavemaker in a numerical wave tank. The two-dimensional, fully viscous unsteady Navier–Stokes equations are solved on a two-phase flow configuration using the volume of fluid method to capture the free surface dynamics. The wavemaker is a moving wall...
