Numerical investigation of single-wave overtopping volume for revetment slopes with accropode armor blocks
The calculation method of the maximum single wave overtopping of the sloping breakwater with breast wall is not provided in the current domestic code.Based on FLUENT software,the porous media area was used to simulate the accropode armor block on the slope embankment.With the help of inertial resistance coefficient C,equivalent wave steepness,relative block size,relative shoulder width,relative breast wall height,relative water depth,relative crest super elevation and other influencing factors,the numerical test of single wave overtopping of the accropode armor block slope dike was carried out.The calculation formula of the coefficient C of the maximum single wave overtopping per unit width under different slopes was given.The verification results show that the formula has good accuracy,which makes the numerical simulation of the single wave overtopping of the sloping breakwater of the accropode armor block independent of the physical model test,thus enriching the content of the specification and providing a reference for the engineering design of the sloping breakwater of the accropode armor block.
