ABSTRACT

To protect scour around an offshore breakwater, prediction of scouring potential are desirable. In this study, scouring pattern by changing the alignment of an offshore breakwater has been investigated with subjected to uniform steady currents, using a 2-D numerical model such as DHI-MIKE21 module. Hydrodynamic analysis have been carried out for an offshore detached breakwater structure to simulate the flow field using Hydrodynamic (HD) model and sedimentation pattern using Sand Transport (ST) model. The calibrated model setup has been used for predicting the flow and scour conditions by changing alignment of an offshore detached breakwater for the following cases, viz., Case-I: an offshore breakwater oriented perpendicular to shoreline, Case-II: an offshore breakwater oriented parallel to shoreline, and Case-III: an offshore breakwater oriented 45° to shoreline. The simulated results show that by changing the orientation of an offshore breakwater with predominant current speed, the scouring can be minimized near the structure effectively. Moreover, it can be used as one of suitable shoreline protection methods to avoid shoreline erosion.
