[0081] As shown in Figure 1 A kind of reciprocating flow under human-shaped submerged dike offshore wind power pile foundation scour protection fluid dynamics simulation test system and method, comprising:

[0082] S1, the environmental data of pile foundation and the reciprocating flow data of the region where it is located are collected;

[0083] S2, based on the data of S1, a numerical model of the influence of reciprocating flow on pile foundation is established using fluid dynamics principles;

[0084] S3, a physical scale model of offshore wind power pile foundation and human-shaped submerged dike is constructed;

[0085] S4, according to the data of S1, set the experimental conditions, and use the physical scale model of S3 to carry out flume experiment, obtain experimental data;

[0086] S5, using the numerical model established in S2, a numerical simulation is carried out on the numerical geometric model containing pile foundation and human-shaped submerged dike, the scouring process of offshore wind power pile foundation and human-shaped submerged dike under the action of reciprocating flow is simulated, and simulation data is obtained;

[0087] S6, comparing the experimental data obtained in S4 with the simulation data obtained in S5, optimizing the numerical model in S2;

[0088] Further, in step S1, the environmental data includes: seabed slope, seabed geomorphic feature and sediment characteristic data in sea area;

[0089] Specifically, the specific operation of collecting seabed slope and seabed geomorphic feature data is: using multi-beam sounding system to scan seabed of sampling point, obtaining elevation data of seabed topography, and then calculating seabed slope. At the same time, through post-processing of multi-beam data, seabed geomorphic features can be extracted.

[0090] Sampling point selection: latitude 32°28'23"N, longitude 121°54'32"E, water depth of 20m area;

[0091] Sediment characteristic data include particle size distribution, density, and settling velocity data. The specific collection steps are as follows: use a grab sampler to collect sediment samples and send them to the laboratory for detailed physicochemical analysis (analysis of particle size distribution, density, and settling velocity).

[0092] In the particle size distribution of sediment, particles between 0.01 and 0.1 mm account for 50%, particles between 0.1 and 1 mm account for 30%, and particles larger than 1 mm account for 20%.

[0093] The density of the sediment is between 2.60 and 2.70 g / cm³.

[0094] The sediment settling velocity is between 0.015 and 0.087.5 cm / s;

[0095] In step S1, the reciprocating flow data includes data such as flow velocity and flow direction. The specific steps for collecting the reciprocating flow data are: using an acoustic Doppler current meter (ADCP) and a current meter placed at the measurement point for measurement, processing the collected data, and creating a flow velocity and flow direction diagram to visually display the reciprocating flow situation.

[0096] Furthermore, in step S2, the specific steps are as follows:

[0097] The continuity equation and momentum equation are selected as the core equations in this step, which describe the conservation of mass and momentum of the fluid, respectively.

[0098] Specifically, the continuity equation:

[0099] in, Where is the fluid density, and u is the fluid velocity vector;

[0100] Momentum equation:

[0101] Where p is pressure, g is the gravitational acceleration vector, and μ is dynamic viscosity. Let F represent the vector Laplace operator, where F is the interaction force between the fluid and the pile foundation.

[0102] Turbulence model equations:

[0103] The turbulent kinetic energy equation and the turbulent dissipation rate equation are selected.

[0104] Turbulent kinetic energy equation: ;

[0105] Turbulent dissipation rate equation: ;

[0106] in, It is turbulent kinetic energy. It is the turbulent dissipation rate. It is turbulent viscosity. is a turbulent kinetic energy generation term, is an empirical constant, is a Prandtl number, u is the fluid velocity vector.

[0107] Further, the reciprocating flow data (flow velocity and flow direction) collected in S1 is input into the model as the boundary conditions of the model;

[0108] The seabed slope and seabed geomorphic feature data collected in S1 are used to construct the seabed topography in the model. This usually involves importing elevation data into the software and generating a three-dimensional topographic model; the seabed slope (a) and elevation (z) data are extracted from S1 to construct the topographic slope formula: is the elevation difference of adjacent points,

[0109] The sediment characteristics data (grain size distribution, density, settling velocity) collected in S1 are input into the model to simulate the transport and deposition of sediment under the action of reciprocating flow; the sediment characteristics input: is the dynamic viscosity of water,

[0110] In step S3, specifically:

[0111] 87.5cm87.5cm The actual single pile foundation diameter is 3-6m, and the scale model pile foundation is arranged in the water tank, and the size and spacing of the scale model pile foundation are scaled 1:10-15 according to the actual situation, and the scale model pile foundation diameter is 30-40cm;

[0112] The design of the double human-shaped submerged dike changes the flow direction and velocity of the water flow by adjusting the angle and width of the human-shaped submerged dike, reducing the direct impact of the water flow on the pile foundation, effectively dispersing the reciprocating flow energy, and reducing the direct impact on the pile foundation. This design can reduce the risk of local scouring and protect the stability of the pile foundation; the elevation of the top of the submerged dike is calculated according to the climbing height of the reciprocating flow to ensure that it can still effectively protect the pile foundation under extreme weather conditions.

[0113] The material of the submerged dike is usually concrete or stone to ensure its durability and stability in the marine environment;

[0114] For example, Figure 2 ​​​​​​As shown, the detailed structure of the double humanoid submerged dike type humanoid submerged dike is designed, including the angle of the humanoid submerged dike being 10°-20°, the length of the humanoid submerged dike being 1-3 times the diameter of the pile foundation, the spacing between the humanoid submerged dike and the pile foundation being 1-4 times the diameter of the pile foundation, and the width of the humanoid submerged dike being 1-2 times the diameter of the pile foundation. Such design helps to disperse the water flow and reduce the direct scouring of the pile foundation;

[0115] The angle of the humanoid submerged dike is 10°-20°, which can provide good water flow dispersion effect and reduce the impact force of the reciprocating flow on the front of the submerged dike. This design is based on the principle of fluid dynamics, especially the optimization of the energy dispersion efficiency of the reciprocating flow and the water flow;

[0116] The length of the humanoid submerged dike is 1-3 times the diameter of the pile foundation. This length setting can ensure sufficient water flow dispersion area, so that the reciprocating flow and the water flow have enough distance and time to disperse their energy before reaching the pile foundation, reducing the direct impact on the pile foundation;

[0117] The width of the humanoid submerged dike is 1-2 times the diameter of the pile foundation: the width setting ensures that the water flow has enough space to disperse on both sides of the submerged dike, avoiding the concentration of water flow to cause erosion to the submerged dike and the pile foundation

[0118] The spacing between the humanoid submerged dike and the pile foundation is 1-4 times the diameter of the pile foundation: this spacing can ensure that the submerged dike can effectively change the flow field and reduce the scouring of the pile foundation. At the same time, this spacing also considers the feasibility of construction and the convenience of maintenance;

[0119] The material of the humanoid submerged dike is usually a permeable material composed of porous concrete and gravel, or a non-permeable material composed of concrete and reinforced concrete; the humanoid submerged dike composed of permeable material allows water flow, which helps to accumulate sediment and improve water quality; the humanoid submerged dike composed of non-permeable material is mainly used to change the direction of water flow and dissipate the energy of reciprocating flow.

[0120] In step S4, the water tank experiment is:

[0121] Build the experimental environment: the size of the water tank is 20m long, 4m wide and 2m high;

[0122] Prepare acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADV), pressure sensor, displacement sensor and material for simulating sediment inside; use multi-beam depth sounding system data to build corresponding seabed topography model in the water tank to ensure that the slope and topographic features meet the actual conditions;

[0123] Uniformly lay fine sand with simulated particle size distribution of 0.01-0.1mm and accounting for 40%-60% of the total sediment on the bottom of the water tank; the high proportion of fine sand can simulate the suspension and transportation characteristics of sediment;

[0124] 0.1-1mm medium sand, accounting for 25% to 35% of the total sediment, with larger particle size and faster settling velocity, having more significant scouring effect on the submerged dike;

[0125] Coarse sand greater than 1mm, accounting for 15% to 25% of the total sediment, with the largest particle size and the fastest settling velocity, having the most significant local scouring effect on the submerged dike.

[0126] And the sediment density range is set at 2.55g / cm³ to 2.65g / cm³, which reflects the specific gravity of different types of sediment, which is crucial for simulating the movement and deposition behavior of sediment in water flow.

[0127] In the experiment, the installation of measuring equipment ensures real-time monitoring of the effect of water flow and reciprocating flow on the submerged dike by installing flow meters, pressure sensors and displacement sensors in the water tank;

[0128] By starting the bidirectional pump to simulate reciprocating water flow, ensure the stability of flow rate and flow direction conversion period, and adjust the flow rate to meet the test conditions;

[0129] The test water level is set at 0.05m-0.2m, which takes into account extreme tidal levels and storm surge water level changes, covering from mild to severe sea conditions, to ensure that the submerged dike design can cope with different reciprocating flow conditions;

[0130] The cycle range of reciprocating flow is set at 1.5s-3s, reflecting the periodic changes of reciprocating flow, which is crucial for simulating the impact effect of reciprocating flow on the submerged dike;

[0131] The flow rate range is set at 0.16m / s-0.48m / s, which simulates different intensity of tidal flow, which is very important for evaluating the stability and scour protection effect of the submerged dike under different flow rate conditions;

[0132] Real-time collected flow rate, pressure, displacement data and scour depth and range around the submerged dike will be used to analyze the performance of the submerged dike and evaluate its protection effect on pile foundation scour; observe the effect of water flow and reciprocating flow on the submerged dike and pile foundation, record the scouring and deposition phenomena, these observations will provide direct evidence for verifying the numerical model and improving the design of the submerged dike; analyze the collected data to evaluate the performance of the submerged dike, such as flow dispersion effect, scour reduction effect, etc., these analysis results will directly guide the optimization of the submerged dike design.

[0133] In step s4, the execution steps of the water tank experiment are:

[0134] S41, start the bidirectional pump, gradually increase the flow rate to the set value, ensure the stability of the water flow;

[0135] S42, measure the flow velocity profile at different locations of the flume, including before and after the submerged dike and on both sides, using ADV or other flow meters; record the time series of flow velocity data to capture the dynamic changes of the reciprocating flow and flow velocity.

[0137] S44, use the depth finder to measure the scour depth before and after the submerged dike regularly, and evaluate the changes of the scour range by measuring the size of the scour pit. Embodiment 1

[0171] Experimental example 1

[0172] In this experiment, embodiments 1, 4-7 and 12 are selected to detect the wave height in front of the scale model human-shaped submerged dike and the wave height behind the scale model human-shaped submerged dike and the energy dissipation efficiency, as well as the front flow velocity and the rear flow velocity and the flow velocity reduction rate and other parameters after 24 hours; the experimental data are shown in Table 1;

[0173]

[0174] According to the data in Table 1, it can be obtained that the wave height reduction rate and the flow velocity reduction rate of the human-shaped submerged dike with a length of 2 times the diameter of the pile foundation, i.e. 70 cm, and a width of 1.5 times the diameter of the pile foundation, i.e. 52.5 cm, are the highest, indicating that the human-shaped submerged dike with this length and width has the best protection effect on the reciprocating flow; it is indicated that under the length and width of the human-shaped submerged dike, when the reciprocating flow encounters the submerged dike, the water molecules in the reciprocating flow collide with the surface of the submerged dike, and most of the kinetic energy is converted into heat energy or other forms of energy (such as vortex energy). The water molecules in the front of the reciprocating flow are greatly slowed down, and the wave height is thus reduced the most; and when the water flow passes through the submerged dike, the flow path is most restricted, and according to Bernoulli's equation in fluid mechanics, the flow velocity is thus slowed down the most, and the resistance between water molecules is effectively and greatly increased.

[0175] According to Table 1, the human-shaped submerged dike with a length of 2 times the diameter of the pile foundation, i.e. 70 cm, and a width of 1.5 times the diameter of the pile foundation, i.e. 52.5 cm, is the best in reducing the reciprocating flow scouring in terms of the effect of resisting scouring.

[0176] Experimental example 2

[0177] The present experiment selects example 1, example 2-3, and example 12, detects the wave height in front of the scaled model human-shaped submerged dike and the wave height behind the scaled model human-shaped submerged dike and the energy dissipation efficiency, and the flow velocity in front of the scaled model human-shaped submerged dike and the flow velocity behind the scaled model human-shaped submerged dike and the flow velocity reduction rate and other parameters after 24 hours; the experimental data are as shown in Table 2.

[0178]

[0179] According to the data in Table 2, it can be obtained that the wave height reduction rate and the flow velocity reduction rate of the human-shaped submerged dike with an angle of 15° are the highest, which indicates that the human-shaped submerged dike with this angle has the best protection effect on the reciprocating flow; the reason is that: at the angle of example 1, after the reciprocating flow hits the submerged dike, more amount of vortex flow and turbulent flow is generated, and the water molecules in these vortex flow and turbulent flow are in a highly disordered state, and their kinetic energy is rapidly converted into internal energy and dissipated. The angle of the submerged dike in example 1 promotes the generation of vortex flow and turbulent flow more effectively, thereby improving the energy dissipation efficiency; at the same time, at this angle, more amount of friction and collision between water molecules is increased, and the hydrodynamic resistance is more effectively increased, thereby achieving a higher flow velocity reduction effect.

[0180] Experimental example 3

[0181] The present experiment selects example 1, example 8-11, and example 12, detects the wave height in front of the scaled model human-shaped submerged dike and the wave height behind the scaled model human-shaped submerged dike and the energy dissipation efficiency, and the flow velocity in front of the scaled model human-shaped submerged dike and the flow velocity behind the scaled model human-shaped submerged dike and the flow velocity reduction rate and other parameters after 24 hours; the experimental data are as shown in Table 3.

[0182]

[0183] According to the data in Table 3, it can be obtained that the wave height reduction rate and the flow velocity reduction rate of the human-shaped submerged dike with a distance between the human-shaped submerged dike and the pile foundation of 2.5 times the diameter of the pile foundation, i.e. 87.5 cm, are the highest, which indicates that the human-shaped submerged dike with this angle has the best protection effect on the reciprocating flow; the reason is that: at the angle of example 1, the human-shaped submerged dike has a distance between the human-shaped submerged dike and the pile foundation of 2.5 times the diameter of the pile foundation, and at this distance, the space between the submerged dike and the pile foundation can form an optimized energy dissipation area, which allows water molecules to have more sufficient space for conversion of kinetic energy and potential energy after being hindered by the submerged dike, thereby more effectively dissipating the reciprocating flow energy; at the distance of 2.5 times the diameter of the pile foundation, the design of the submerged dike effectively suppresses the generation of excessive turbulent flow, while retaining sufficient vortex flow to dissipate the reciprocating flow energy; ultimately resulting in the highest flow velocity reduction rate and wave height reduction rate and better realization of the anti-scouring effect.

[0184] Experimental example 4

[0185] This experiment selected Examples 1, 13, and 12 to detect the wave height in front of and behind the scaled humanoid submerged breakwater, energy dissipation efficiency, flow velocity in front of and behind the breakwater, and velocity reduction rate after 24 hours; the experimental data are shown in Table 4.

[0186]

[0187] According to the data in Table 4, the human-shaped submerged dike composed of permeable material made of porous concrete and crushed stone has the highest wave height reduction rate and flow velocity reduction rate, indicating that the human-shaped submerged dike at this angle has the best protection effect for reciprocating flow.
