A new formulation is proposed for the simulation of viscous flows around structures in waves. It consists in modifying the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations: velocity, pressure or free-surface elevation fields are split into incident and diffracted fields to compute the diffracted flow only. The incident flow may be explicitly given by a stream function theory for non-linear regular waves, or by a spectral method for irregular waves. This method avoids classical problems (large CPU time, poor quality of generated wave) of numerical generation of waves in a viscous flow solver. The 2D flow around an immersed square in regular waves demonstrates the effectiveness of the method.
