Numerical study on the characteristics of flow field and wave propagation near submerged breakwater on slope

In this study, characteristics of flow field and wave propagation near submerged breakwater on a sloping bed are investigated with numerical model. The governing equations of the vertical two-dimensional model are Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes equations. The Reynolds stress terms are closed by a nonlinear k - ε turbulence transportation model. The free surface is traced through the PILC-VOF method. The proposed numerical model is verified with experimental results. The numerical result shows that the wave profile may become more asymmetrical when wave propagates over breakwater. When wave crest propagates over breakwater, the anticlockwise vortex may generate. On the contrary, when wave hollow propagates over breakwater, the clockwise vortex may generate. Meanwhile, the influenced zone of vortex created by wave crest is larger than that created by wave hollow. All the maximum values of the turbulent kinetic energy, turbulent dissipation and eddy viscosity occur on the top of breakwater. Both the turbulent dissipation and eddy viscosity increase as the turbulent kinetic energy increases. Wave energy may rapidly decrease near the breakwater because turbulent dissipation increases and energy in lower harmonics is transferred into higher harmonics.

Flashover on polluted insulators is the most common accident occuring in power system.A great amount of work has been done to study the flashover characteristics on various kinds of insulators with several theoretical models proposed.In these models,the amount and the distribution of the pollution on the insulator is critical to the flashover performance.However,very few simulation works has been carried out to study the pollution accumulation characteristics on the insulators.In this paper,both experimental and numerical efforts were given to study the pollution accumulation characteristics in order to evaluate the flashover probability.Experiments were performed first to have a bird view on the overall pollution distributions considering several crucial influential factors such as the wind speed and wind direction.AC porcelain insulators(XWP_2-160 type) were selected as the experimental samples and the equivalent salt deposit density(ESDD) was measured after the total predetermined amount of pollution was reached.Then, aerodynamic simulation was carried out to study the airflow and velocity distributions on each part of the insulator in clean air with regard to different wind speed and direction.It was found that the amount of the pollution on each section of the insulator has clear connections to the wind speed or air pressure distribution on the insulator surface.These distributions coincide to the pollution distribution obtained from experiments.Besides,the wind speed and air pressure distribution along the insulator chain was also studied.This work has shown that the numerical simulation may predict the pollution distribution on the insulators with practical accuracy.It is also possible to design new insulator shapes to reduce the pollution accumulation on critical areas according to the analysis in this work.
