Numerical analysis of seabed dynamic response in vicinity of mono-pile under wave-current loading
2020
Abstract Pile foundations have been widely used in offshore engineering. In this study, a three-dimensional numerical model was used to investigate the seabed response around a mono-pile under wave-current loading. Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations were used to simulate the flow field, and Biot’s consolidation equations were used for simulating the response of a porous seabed. The pore water pressure within soil and the effective stress along the depth of the seabed were simulated for various current velocities, with currents traveling either along or against the wave. Results indicate that the current has a significant effect on the effective stress and the pore water pressure distributions, which increases with the current velocity, and that the current traveling against the wave increases the liquefaction depth of the porous seabed.
