Hello everyone,
I want to simulate waves by Fluent, however, I am facing trouble in the simulation of my problem, I used to simulate waves by fluent, where I can choose wave theory, wavelength, wave height, and depth of water but I realize that due to reflection of end wall and its impact on inlet boundary, the height of the wave in propagation will increase over the time, so I need a mechanism to absorb wave reflection (the active wave absorption)in the wave flume. therefore, I started the simulated wave by use of UDF, and by use of DEFINE_PROFILE, I simulated my wave.
then I need to modify the velocity at the inlet boundary based on the water surface of the domain (or based on the water surface on the section located for example at 1 m from the inlet) by use of DEFINE_ ADJUST to correct my u_velocity component. I do not know how to do this.
can anyone help me to figure it out?

You can use the numerical beach treatment in fluent to absorb wave reflection.

Dear Indra,
I don't want to damp my generated waves I want to absorb only reflected waves, I don't think the numerical beach treatment is beneficial because it damps generated waves too. Or at least I don't know if it is able to absorb only reflected waves in the domain. I would be appreciated it if you have information about it and can tell me?

I dont understand how work numerical beach.if any one give me idea
