ISWFoam: a numerical model for internal solitary wave simulation in continuously stratified fluids

Jingyuan Li, Qinghe Zhang, and Tongqing Chen

Model code and software

ISWFoam v1.1.1 (https://zenodo.org/record/5069480\#.YU1j_GJByHs) Jingyuan Li https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5069480

Short summary

A numerical model, ISWFoam with a modified k–ω SST model, is developed to simulate internal solitary waves (ISWs) in continuously stratified, incompressible, viscous fluids based on a fully three-dimensional (3D) Navier–Stokes equation with the finite-volume method. ISWFoam can accurately simulate the generation and evolution of ISWs, the ISW breaking phenomenon, waveform inversion of ISWs, and the interaction between ISWs and complex topography.
