Mechanical Stress Analysis of Different Shapes Pillars with Cnoidal Internal Wave Action

Abstract:

The numerical simulations of the flow around different pillars acted by the cnoidal internal waves have been made by building numerical wave flume based on FLUENT software. The cnoidal internal wave was created by using the push-pedal method, and the free surface was tracked by using VOF (volume of fluid) method. The three-dimensional different amplitude and period cnoidal internal waves were simulated. The inertia force and viscous force trends were analyzed, and for different pillars the total wave force were compared. There were some significance for stress analysis of the offshore terminal pillars. The converted wave force could alternative and treatment problems about square columns.
