چکیده مقاله:

In many cases, a set of obstacles, such as bridge piers and abutments, are located in the river waterway. Bridge piers disrupt river’s normal flow, and the created turbulence and disturbance causes diversion of flow lines and creates rotational flow. Geometric shape and position of the piers with respect to flow direction and also number of piers and their spacing are effective on changing the river-flow conditions, such as formation of vortices, their breakdown and hydrodynamic forces exerted on the piers. This study has been performed by using the two-dimensional, open-source, OpenFOAM software. After selecting the grid size in GAMBIT software, different pier shapes were investigated, taking into account different Reynolds numbers, and formation of the flow pattern, Strouhal number, vortex magnitude, and drag and lift coefficients for each pier shape were specified. Results for three different pier shapes showed that in Reynolds number of 200, the highest drag coefficient (1.82) and maximum flow velocity (1.55 m/s) was related to square pier. The lowest drag coefficient (0.46) was calculated for the rectangular pier (having a semi-circular edge on one side and a sharp-nose edge on the other side) when the flow collides with the semi-circular edge. The least drag and lift forces are exerted to the rectangular pier, as compared to other pier shapes. The lowest lift coefficient (0.012) was obtained for rectangular pier. On the other hand, position of sharp-nose edge in the wake region caused the vortex shedding to occur at a greater distance from the pier.

Investigating Effect of Netted Collars on Scouring Around Bridge Piers Using Flow-3D

The present study used Flow-3D to investigate the effect of installing netted collars with different shapes on bridge piers. The results showed that installing netted triangular, circular, square, and rectangular collars with a hole diameter of 0.1 (d/D) reduced scouring by 49.5, 52.2, 52.7, and 56.5 percent, respectively, compared to the case with no collars. A hole diameter of 0.15 (d/D) for ...
