潜堤对波浪在直立式防浪墙上爬高的影响

对直立式防浪墙前潜堤的空间布置对波浪在直墙上爬高的影响进行了研究.建立简化模型,即直立式防浪墙前海床设计为平底,潜堤设计为直立薄板. 改变潜堤高度及其与防浪墙之间距,研究不同的潜堤布置对波浪在直墙上爬高的影响. 针对线性波浪场,利用数值波浪水槽模拟了潜堤作用下直墙上波浪的爬高现象. 同时建立了理论模型,系统地分析了潜堤布置形式对直墙上波浪爬高的影响. 研究结果表明潜堤相对于水深的高度越大,对波浪在直墙上爬高的影响越大,而在一定的相对高度条件下,潜堤与直立墙之间距对波浪爬高的影响呈现出一定的规律性.      

Numerical study of wave overtopping of a seawall supported by porous structures

This paper presents a VOF-based two-phase flow model for the simulation of wave interactions with seawall supported by a porous terrace. Firstly, the model was verified against laboratory data in a simple case for wave overtopping of a vertical wall. Comparison of computed and measured wave properties showed reasonably good agreement. The model was then applied to study the interactions of waves and a seawall protected by porous structures with a permeable terrace. The application results showed that the overtopping rate was strongly related to the energy dissipation through the drag force; the porous reef and terrace were very effective to produce a low crest type seawall. It is concluded that there exist two optimum values of porosity of the submerged reef, about of 0.25 and 0.7, that give minimum overtopping rates. Whereas, there is an effective range of porosity of the permeable terrace varying from 0.4 to 0.65 for significantly reducing the overtopping rate. The verification results confirm that the VOF-based two-phase flow model is sufficient robust to simulate the wave overtopping of coastal structures with reasonable accuracy.     

孤立波斜坡堤堤顶及后坡越浪流数值分析

孤立波往往被用来模拟海啸等浅水大波.运用基于RANS方程、VOF方法以及Goring造波方法建立了二维数值波浪水槽,进行了孤立波在简单斜坡堤上越浪过程的数值模拟.通过数值模拟,研究了不同相对堤顶宽及不同相对波高条件下对孤立波越堤流基本特征,包括堤顶前缘水层厚度及速度、堤顶末端水层厚度及速度、堤顶流厚度及速度沿程分布、后坡流厚度及速度沿程分布.依据数值实验结果,建立了堤顶流最大厚度分布及最大速度分布的经验公式.计算结果表明,堤顶流厚度沿程减小,而堤顶流速度则沿程增大;后坡流厚度先增大,随后再沿程缓慢减小;后坡流速度先减小,随后再沿程缓慢增大.     

Numerical simulation of solitary waves overtopping on a sloping sea dike using a particle method

Sea dikes, as a commonly used type of coastal protection structures, are often attacked or damaged by violent waves overtopping under tsunamis and storm surges. In this study, the behavior of solitary waves traveling on a sloping sea dike is simulated, and solitary wave overtopping characteristics are analyzed using a complete Lagrangian numerical method, the moving particle semi-implicit (MPS) method. To better describe the complicated fluid motions during the wave overtopping process, the original MPS method is modified by introducing a new free surface detection method, i.e., the area filling rate identification method, and a modified gradient operator to provide higher precision. Meanwhile, the approximation method for sloping boundaries in particle methods is enhanced, and a smooth slope approximation method is proposed and recommended. To verify the improved MPS method, a solitary wave traveling over a steep sloping bed is studied. The entire solitary wave run-up and run-down processes and exquisite water movements are reproduced well by the present method, and are consistent with the corresponding experimental results. Subsequently, the improved MPS method is applied to investigate the overtopping process of a single solitary wave over a sloping sea dike. The results show that the hydraulic jump phenomenon is also possible to occur during the run-down motion of the solitary wave overtopping. Finally, the characteristics of the propagation and overtopping of two successive solitary waves on a sloping sea dike are discussed. The result manifests that the interaction between adjacent solitary waves affects wave overtopping patterns and overtopping velocities.     

Study of wave–wind interaction at a seawall using a numerical wave channel

This paper presents the study on wind and waves interactions at a seawall using a numerical wave channel. The numerical experiments were conducted for wave overtopping of a 1/4 sloping seawall using several conditions of incident waves and wind speeds. The numerical results were verified against laboratory data in a case for wave overtopping without wind effects. The interaction of waves and wind was analyzed in term of mean wave quantities, overtopping rate and variation of wind velocity at some selected locations. The results showed that the overtopping rate was strongly affected by wind and the wind field was also significantly modified by waves. There exists an effective range of wind speed in comparison with the local shallow wave speed at the breaking location, which gives significant effects to the wave overtopping rates. The maximum of wind adjustment coefficient f_w for wave overtopping rate was strongly related to the mean overtopping rate in the case for no wind. This study also showed that when the mean overtopping rate was greater than 5 × 10⁻⁴ m³/s/m, the maximum of wind adjustment coefficient f_w approached to a specific value of about 1.25.     

Incompressible SPH simulation of wave breaking and overtopping with turbulence modelling

In this paper a truly incompressible version of the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method is presented to investigate the surface wave overtopping. SPH is a pure Lagrangian approach which can handle large deformations of the free surface with high accuracy. The governing equations are solved based on the SPH particle interaction models and the incompressible algorithm of pressure projection is implemented by enforcing the constant particle density. The two‐equation k–ε model is an effective way of dealing with the turbulence and vortices during wave breaking and overtopping and it is coupled with the incompressible SPH numerical scheme. The SPH model is employed to reproduce the experiment and computations of wave overtopping of a sloping sea wall. The computations are validated against the experimental and numerical data found in the literatures and good agreement is observed. Besides, the convergence behaviour of the numerical scheme and the effects of particle spacing refinement and turbulence modelling on the simulation results are also investigated in further detail. The sensitivity of the computed wave breaking and overtopping on these issues is discussed and clarified. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

离岸式潜堤对海堤越浪量影响的实验研究

外海波浪作用下海堤越浪是一个复杂的水动力学过程,越浪量则是评估海堤安全的重要因素之一。离岸式潜堤作为一种典型的护岸工程结构物,已被应用于淤泥质海岸复合式海堤工程,其主要作用是促淤保滩和降低越浪量。本文针对不同的潜堤与海堤距离以及不同的潜堤高程,进行了规则波作用下越浪量系列物理模型实验,给出了各工况下的实测越浪量。实验结果表明:潜堤是否导致波浪破碎是控制海堤越浪量的主要因素之一;当潜堤使得波浪破碎时,潜堤位置对海堤越浪量有较大影响。潜堤与海堤距离接近1/2波长时越浪量偏大。     

海堤越浪的数值模拟

基于RANS方程和两方程湍流模型,采用有限体积法,将人射波波场作为人工的分布源项加人动量方程,提出了适用于VOF方法的源造波一消波技术。通过对行波及驻波的计算,分别考察了数值波浪水槽前端及末端消波段的有效性。在本文建立的数值波浪水槽内对规则波在海堤上爬高和越浪过程进行了数值模拟,并将计算结果与现有实验结果进行了比较。验证计算结果表明,数值模拟结果较好地复演了海堤越浪过程。为了研究模型尺度对越浪量的影响,文中设计了一组满足重力相似但具有不同几何比尺的数值实验模型。系列数值实验结果表明,若按重力相似换算越浪量,计算结果与实验预报值间的偏差随模型比尺的增大和堤前波浪破碎强度的增强而增大,建议在进行越浪物理模型实验时需进一步考虑模型比尺对原型预报值的影响。
