The present work represents the first attampts to use DualSPHysics model to assess wave loadings. The reliability of the application of DualSPHysics, that is based on the numerical technique named Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), is analyzed. The novelty of the model consists also in the use of a CPU-GPU technique (Graphics Processing Units) and in the pre-processing tool that allows to create any kind of complex geometry with relatively small efforts and computational costs. In the present work, firstly, several validation test cases with theoretical solution are presented and finally preliminary results for the Wenduine configuration are shown and discussed.
