Hydrodynamic Loading For Harbor Protection

This research is focused on hydrodynamic analysis of harbors using computational fluid design techniques. The simulation is carried out in ANSYS ® Fluent using Volume of fluid method. The 3D model was made on ANSYS ® Space claim. Different models were made in order to study the effect of wave loading on different type of structures at different wave heights. Coefficient of transmission was calculated to study the transmitted wave. The results obtained were then compared with theoretical results and found in accordance with minimal deviations. It was observed that design and structure of harbors have a substantial effect on wave energy transmission which can damage the sea vessels in case of a storm if not accounted for.
