AbstractTo analyze the hydrodynamic difference between marine structures with and without narrow gaps, a two-dimensional fully nonlinear time-domain numerical wave flume is developed to investigate the hydrodynamics around multiple rectangular-box structures close to one another in waves. In the numerical model, the incident waves are generated by inner-domain sources such that re-reflection at the input boundary can be avoided. The fully nonlinear kinematic and dynamic boundary conditions are satisfied for the instantaneous free surface, and artificial damping is used for the free surface in the gaps to model the viscous effect. The proposed model is first validated against the experimental data for an isolated box and twin- and triple-box systems with narrow gaps. Then extensive numerical experiments are performed to compare the wave heights and wave loads on rectangular boxes with and without narrow gaps. The first comparison is made between the hydrodynamics of each individual box of a multiple-box sy...
