Abstract:

As a novel scour protection measure, the fluidized solidified slurry is pumped into the developed scour holes around the pile foundation for scour repair as the fluidized material solidifies gradually. In the process of pumping operation, the fluidized solidified slurry will have a negative effect on the pile. However, there is still a lack of comprehensive study on the force acting on the pile in this process. The CFD model is adopted to simulate the flow and diffusion of the solidified slurry pumped into the scour pit around the monopile. The effects of pumping velocity, current velocity, and material property of solidified slurry on the force acting on the pile are systematically investigated, of which, current velocity is the most sensitive factor. A simplified analysis method for force of fluidized solidified slurry acting on the monopile is proposed, providing basis for the design and construction of the pumping operation.
