Abstract:

DHI-Mike Software is one of best softwares describing water wave diffraction in onshore/offshore concepts. Diffraction happens due to obstacles along wave direction and has an important role in designing structures. The scope of this study is to show the relation between Porosity Coefficient and its effects on Diffraction Coefficient (Cd) by means of a suitable and verified numerical model. Porosity Coefficient is one of the breakwaters’ characteristics that describe the reflection quantity of the wave that influences on Diffraction Coefficient. This parameter determines the quantity of obstacles porosity and helps in implementing the sensitivity analysis. A calibrated Model helps as a suitable background to examine different Porosity Coefficients. Reputed "Wave Diffraction Diagrams" has been used for model calibration and will be discussed in detail in an appropriate section. It has been concluded that by increasing the Porosity Coefficient, wave height and Diffraction Coefficient increase.

Diffraction of water waves by a segmented permeable breakwater

The linearized theory of water waves is used to examine the diffraction of an incident wave by a permeable breakwater that consists of a number of distinct elements. Under the assumption that the wavelength is much greater than the thickness, each element is replaced by a thin structure and the permeability is modeled by a suitable boundary condition applied on its surface. The diffracted wave ...

NUMERICAL MODELING OF DIFFRACTION THROUGH A BREAKWATER GAP

Wave diffraction is a very important phenomenon in marine engineering and several models have been developed for its simulation. The new version of SWAN, a third generation spectral model, includes an approximation to wave diffraction. The approximation is based on the mild-slope equation for refraction and diffraction, omitting phase information. The objective this paper is to evaluate the per...

Sensitivity Analysis of MPSIAC Model

MPSIAC is currently known as an appropriate method to measure sediment ofWatershed basins of the country while there has not been any sensitivity analysis so far forthis method. In this study, required data for MPSIAC model were gathered from six basins;Amame-Kamarkhani, Kand-Golandok, Tang Kenesht (from two different references), Nojian(from three different references), Pegahe sorkh katvand (f...

Long-term Iran's inflation analysis using varying coefficient model

Varying coefficient Models are among the most important tools for discovering the dynamic patterns when a fixed pattern does not fit adequately well on the data, due to existing diverse temporal or local patterns. These models are natural extensions of classical parametric models that have achieved great popularity in data analysis with good interpretability.The high flexibility and interpretab...
