Numerical Study on Stability of Square Perforated Cubic Artificial Reef

Abstract:

In order to study the stability of the square perforated cubic artificial reef deployed in Bohai Bay, the flow field and the pressure field around the reef were simulated on Fluent, then the flow force on the reef was calculated, and the coefficients of anti-slide and anti-rolling were calculated further. The results show that the flow force is not strong compared with the static force of friction. The coefficients of anti-slide and anti-rolling are large enough to ensure the stability of the reef.
