Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of research devices for the influence of swells on seabed, and particularly relates to a local swell-induced adjacent reef seabed topography evolution model test device and test method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Seawalls are located at the junction between the sea and land, and are a powerful barrier for coastline protection. Seawalls are subjected to short-crested waves all year round. At present, the observation and research of most short-crested waves in front of the dyke are still limited to their movement and dynamic characteristics, such as wave pressure and force on marine structures, thereby providing a basis for engineering design. When waves propagate in the sea, the stress induced by the waves causes dynamic fluctuations in seabed pressure, which causes excess pore water pressure in the soil body of the seabed and reduces the effective stress of the soil body, thereby causing the seabed to become unstable. Therefore, when designing and constructing marine engineering facilities, it is necessary to analyze the topography evolution of the foundation soil of the adjacent reef seabed under the action of wave loads.
[0003] It has been found through retrieval that the application No. CN202110635795.3 “A wave making device” provides a new design device for making waves, but this device is only a device for making waves by swinging a wave making plate, and does not study the influence of local swells hitting the adjacent reef seabed to induce seabed topography changes.
[0004] It has been found through retrieval that the paper “Analysis of dynamic response of seabed in front of dyke under wave action” studies the dynamic characteristics of the seabed in front of the dyke, but the paper only idealizes numerical simulation of waves, and does not further explore and develop research on displacement changes. Therefore, the existing technology is often only through motor wave making research and design, and does not involve the study of the local seabed erosion effect and far-field seepage force changes caused by manual runner wave making.
[0005] In recent years, the physical simulation research of adjacent reef seabed has developed rapidly, but these researches still have defects and deficiencies in reflecting the authenticity of actual swell load changes. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a wave making test equipment to study the influence of local swell period, amplitude and pressure sudden increase point position on the surface morphology of the adjacent reef seabed, and to provide analysis basis for adjacent reef seabed topography evolution, far sea island reef construction and erosion protection. SUMMARY
[0006] The present application aims to solve the deficiencies and defects of the prior art, and provides a local swell-induced adjacent reef seabed topography evolution model test device and test method. The runner wave making simulates the impact of swells on the coast, determines the influence of local swell period cycle on the adjacent reef seabed, and thereby evaluates the seabed pressure seepage migration caused by the development and diffusion process of the pore water pressure of the seabed.
