Grid2Grid: HOS Wrapper program

A HOS wrapper program called Grid2Grid is developed for the nonlinear wave simulation of numerical solvers. Most of data and functionality is encapsuled as a class to be easily used and maintained. Grid2Grid generates dynamic linked library as an independent package to be called and easily used in other languages.

The post processing of HOS is also possible by using Grid2Grid. Included post processing program is called postGrid2Grid.

Grid2Grid is validated using the code foamStar based on standard multiphase solver of OpenFOAM and also with an experiment. In the experiment, waves corresponding to 1000 year return period in Gulf of Mexico are generated. The wave elevation is measured at the wave breaking position expected by HOS wave theory and compared with the results of the simulation. Good agreement is shown between the measurement and the numerical solutions and the nonlinear wave phenomenon is observed both in experiment and in simulation.
