This workshop introduces the use of Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics for coastal and maritime engineering applications, with particular emphasis on the coupling between DualSPHysics and wave-resolving models such as SWASH through open boundary conditions.

The course combines theoretical lectures and hands-on sessions. Participants will first work with standard DualSPHysics wave–structure interaction cases, including floating bodies and XML case setup, before moving towards coupled simulations involving bathymetry, wave propagation, coastal structures, wave forces and armour blocks.
