Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study investigates the scour process at a slender monopile during various phases of a storm to give a better understanding of scour and backfilling mechanisms. Laboratory experiments were carried out to simulate the scouring effect at a pile by a storm consisting of a succession of seven phases of irregular waves. A numerical model was developed in order to perform simulations of the process of the scour and backfilling around a pile in waves. The initiation of sediment motion under waves was studied to develop a simple empirical model for determining critical Shields parameter and critical velocity of fine sand. Evolutions of vortex ripples and scour around a pile were simulated to demonstrate the effectiveness of the numerical model and empirical model. It was found that the methods has proved useful in understanding of dynamics of small scale bed form (vortex ripples) and middle scale bed form (pile scour).
