Numerical Simulation for Pile Group in Water Flume of 2-D Tidal Flow

Abstract:

In order to study the influence on pile foundation in the numerical Simulation of 2-D tidal flow, the governing equations for numerical model of 2-D tidal flow with pile foundation have been induced, and the numerical water flume of 2-D tidal flow for pile foundation has been built. And then, with an adjusted friction coefficient and an additional roughness coefficient of the pile foundation from some physical model tests, the tidal flow field has been simulated, which was about a piled wharf of the first phase project in Yangshan deep-water Port. It indicated that the results from this numerical simulation were very close to some from water flume tests in laboratory. So some applied foundation and operational methods about the two tidal flow simulation technologies for some pile foundation have been provided.
