Numerical Study on the Hydrodynamic Characteristics and Responses of Moored Floating Marine Cylinders Under Real-World Tsunami-Like Waves
In recent tsunami events like those happened in the Indian Ocean in 2004 and 2018 and in Japan in 2011, many ocean and coastal infrastructures have been damaged tremendously, revealing the need of the work to study the hydrodynamic interaction between real-world tsunami waves and offshore structures...

In recent tsunami events like those happened in the Indian Ocean in 2004 and 2018 and in Japan in 2011, many ocean and coastal infrastructures have been damaged tremendously, revealing the need of the work to study the hydrodynamic interaction between real-world tsunami waves and offshore structures. Besides, the destructive energy of tsunami wave on the offshore structures should also be assessed. However, to study the impact of tsunami waves on offshore structures, solitary waves are used generally instead of real-world tsunami waves despite the vast differences in hydrodynamic characteristics. Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approach, this paper investigates the hydrodynamic characteristics of the floating cylinders moored by chains, under the real-world tsunami-like waves (2011 Japan Tohoku tsunami). Comparisons of hydrodynamic characteristics between real-world tsunami-like wave and solitary wave propagating over the moored cylinders are analyzed and discussed, indicating that the flow fields, the tension forces of mooring chains, the impinging forces and the movement trajectories of the cylinder caused by the two types of waves are greatly different from each other. Moreover, the influences of single cylinder diameter and tandem cylinder spacing on the interaction between real-world tsunami-like waves and cylinders are considered through a series of simulation tests, while meaningful conclusions are drawn. |
