Abstract
Abstract Thin porous plates serve as an effective model for the construction of breakwater. Thus, the problem involving oblique wave interaction with a tunnel in the presence of a submerged horizontal porous plate over a trench-type bottom is investigated. In this paper, for the mathematical formulation of the physical model, water wave potentials are defined using Havelock's expansions and flow past over porous structure is modelled based on Darcy's law. The advantage of the trench type of bottom and horizontal plate are studied through the numerical results of forces on the tunnel. The study reveals that more energy loss and less force on the tunnel are obtained if the porous effect parameter of the plate or the length of the plate is increased up to a moderated value of these parameters. Compared to the case without porous plate and trench-type bottom topography, there are significant changes in forces due to this porous breakwater and trench-type bottom topography. In addition, from the present results, it may be noted that the load on the submerged tunnel is reduced by adding a submerged horizontal porous plate and asymmetric trench, which is helpful in understanding the role of porous breakwaters and trenches in applications to Ocean and Coastal Engineering.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering is an international resource for original peer-reviewed research that advances the state of knowledge on all aspects of analysis, design, and technology development in ocean, offshore, arctic, and related fields. Its main goals are to provide a forum for timely and in-depth exchanges of scientific and technical information among researchers and engineers. It emphasizes fundamental research and development studies as well as review articles that offer either retrospective perspectives on well-established topics or exposures to innovative or novel developments. Case histories are not encouraged. The journal also documents significant developments in related fields and major accomplishments of renowned scientists by programming themed issues to record such events.
