Wave Energy Dissipation Using Perforated and Non Perforated Piles

Authors

Abstract:

The indispensable vital structure in any harbor is a breakwater in order to make available calm water region inshore. Pile breakwater can be employed as a small coastal protection structure where tranquility required is low. This study is concerned with CFD study on the performance of perforated hollow pile to dissipate wave energy and the novelty of this investigation is the role of perforation layout in dissipating energy of water. Pile models under two different incident waves with constant water depth and wave amplitude have been classified into two groups with two different wavelengths, making a total of 10 models which has been simulated numerically by computational flow solver FLOW 3D. The analytical results of simulations show changes in the velocity profiles after piles while dissipation happened in the vicinity of the pile. The result implied the perforated models can perform better than the non-perforated ones and energy dissipation was found much more significant in perforated piles.

Perforated appendicitis vs non-perforated appendicitis.

Of 156 patients with acute appendicitis, seen during 24 months, 21 had perforated. Age over 30 years especially in males, duration of symptoms over 48 hours, pulse rate on admission exceeding 100/ minute, generalised abdominal tenderness, leucocyte count in excess of 10,000 mm3 and a neutrophilia in excess of 70 percent, characterized patients with appendicular perforation. The rate of complica...

Theoretical and Experimental Studies of Upright Perforated Wave Filters

Liu et al. (1987) proposed a theoretical solution for scattering of waves through a permeable dissipation region. On the basis of bulk dissipation of the incident wave energy, this method is extended to evaluate the reflection and transmission coefficients of waves through a wave filter composed of rows of perforated sheets aligned normally to the direction of wave propagation. The results of t...

Non-perforated duodenal diverticulitis

Diverticula rarely occur within the lumen of the duodenum and are diagnosed in 2-5% of patients. They usually arise near the papilla of Vater and extend distally [1]. Duodenal diverticula are classified into two types: extraluminal or intraluminal. Although the patient with a diverticulum may be asymptomatic, a duodenal diverticulum usually presents with typical or atypical symptoms of peptic u...

A Mathematical Model for Analysis of Upright Perforated Wave Absorbers

On the basis of the continuity equation and the Bernoulli equation in the steady form, a differential equation is developed to evaluate the successive water levels within compartments of an upright perforated wave absorber. Then the initial and boundary conditions are introduced and the differential equation is solved as an initial value problem. Finally the reflection coefficient from the wave...

A Comparative Study of Perforated and Non-Perforated Appendicitis With Respect to Clinical and Laboratory Findings

Introduction:The vermiform appendix is considered by most to be a vestigial organ, its importance in surgery is only due to its tendency for inflammation resulting in the syndrome called acute appendicitis. Acute appendicitis is the most common cause of an “acute abdomen” in young adults. Appendectomy is the most frequently performed emergency abdominal operation. Present study was undertaken t...
