Application of the Proteus Toolkit to Marine, Coastal, and Riverine Engineering Problems

Computational modeling of wave and current interaction with structures is becoming a reality for engineering analyses traditionally conducted through physical testing. While advances in computational methods have been of primary importance in achieving a robust, accurate, and efficient modeling capability, better algorithms alone are insufficient for realizing the full impact of computational fluid-structure interaction analyses. In this presentation we will present our recent experience attempting to overcome several software engineering barriers through domain-specific extension modules and domain specific languages.
