Resumen
A numerical model has been developed to simulate breakwater response to wave impacts with special reference to armor unit behavior and breakwater stability. The model uses a finite difference hydrodynamic code to follow the wave impacts and determine wave forces upon the breakwater components. A discrete element code models the breakwater response and motions. The model rationale and numerical basis are followed by three examples used in this, the concept validation, stage of model development.
