Abstract

Based on the offshore submarine pipe project in Zhangpu, the siltation characteristics of submarine trench in the nearshore open sea were studied using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods. The results of the study show that the characteristics of water flow above the submarine trench will change significantly after the excavation of the submarine trench, which will have a significant impact on the siltation of the submarine trench. The excavation of the submarine trench will lead to an increase in the cross sectional area of the water flow over the submarine trench, causing the current velocity to be smaller than that of the neighboring waters, which leads to the siltation of the submarine trench. Under the same hydrodynamic condition, the smaller the water depth, the greater the intensity of submarine trench siltation. The results of this study can provide guidance for the process optimization of submarine trench excavation in offshore open sea.
