Abstract
In this study, the effect of moving pressure source and channel parameters on the generated waves in a channel was numerically investigated; draught, angle of attack, and profile shape as parameters of pressure source, and water depth and blockage factor as channel parameters for wave height. Firstly, the chosen Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approach was validated with the experimental data over a range of speeds. Then, the CFD study was conducted for further investigations. It was shown that that by enlarging draught, angle of attack, and beam of the pressure source, the wave height generated would be increased. Channel study showed that it was possible to increase the wave height...
