Interaction of waves with idealized high-relief bottom roughness, model parameters and code

Interactions between waves and large bottom roughness were investigated using Large
Eddy Simulations of oscillatory flow over infinite hemisphere arrays. Simulations were made
using the open source computational fluid dynamics code OpenFOAM. Wave amplitude, period,
and hemisphere spacing were varied to investigate the dependence of kinematics and dynamics
on dimensionless parameters, including the Keulegan-Carpenter number (KC), the ratio of wave
orbital excursion to roughness element size. This archive includes the input files and user
written routines to reproduce the simulations in the paper.
