Tieshan Port Development Plan: Evaluation of the Long Wave Induced Resonance Using a Numerical Mild-Slope Model

Abstract:

The general development plan of Tieshan port is designed to be long and narrow, for which the long wave induced resonance may be problematic. Within the present work, a numerical study on the effects of this kind of resonance is conducted. The simulations are performed with the use of the mild-slope model developed in Ref. [1], which was further validated in the present work to be able to predict reasonable results for the harbor resonance. To evaluate the wave resonance for the plan of Tieshan port, 71 offshore wave conditions with the period ranging from 50s to 400s have been calculated. The rationalities of the numerical solutions are analyzed through comparisons with the theoretical ones, and the general agreement is seen to be reasonable. Some preliminary results for the harbor resonant modes, the resonant periods and the corresponding amplification factors for the plan of Tieshan port have been presented.
