چکیده
Abstract Careful design of the high-tech semi-circular breakwaters (SBW), which are used for protection against sea waves, is essential to avoid failure these large-scale projects. An improved tool adopting numerical simulations, complemented with experimental measurements introduced. Unstructured boundary-fitted grids model curved SBW boundary accurately and resolve flow adjacent it. Experimental based on Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) introduced numerically simulated velocity fields validated. For first time, strong free surface deformation upstream SBW, termed trough-breaking, reproduced numerically. The phenomenon investigated in detail its impact several advantages stability emphasized. accuracy due unstructured by PIV data set, offers valuable prospects performing complex designs exploring future applications. Article Highlights efficient breakwater simulations measurements. results agree well Hence, this set should be extensively validation studies. important “trough-breaking” features clarified.

متن کاملPIV measurements of a microchannel flow
A particle image velocimetry (PIV) system has been developed to measure velocity fields with order 1-lm spatial resolution. The technique uses 200 nm diameter flow-tracing particles, a pulsed Nd: YAG laser, an inverted epi-fluorescent microscope, and a cooled interline-transfer CCD camera to record high-resolution particle-image fields. The spatial resolution of the PIV technique is limited pri...
