Numerical Simulation of Grab Dredging on Flow Field and Sdiment Suspension Pattern in Construction Area by LONG Rui, JIN Zhong-wu, Tomoaki NAKAMURA, Yonghwan CHO, Norimi MIZUTANI

“…Key conclusions are as follows: 1)Environmental Impact Mitigation: Gradually reducing the grab’s descent speed before it reaches the sediment bed effectively decreases near-bed turbulence and sediment entrainment, thereby mitigating secondary pollution. 2)Recommended Strategy: Decelerating to one-third of the initial speed (0.33 m/s) starting at 3.0 m above the bed is the optimal descent profile among the cases studied, achieving substantial reduction in suspended sediment without compromising operational feasibility. 3)Modeling Advances: The integration of fluid, structural, and sediment dynamics through the FS3M model provides a powerful tool for analyzing complex interactions in dredging scenarios, capturing realistic behavior that conventional monitoring methods cannot resolve. 4)Future Work: Further studies should extend the modeling to include sediment excavation and lifting processes, and explore dynamic descent control strategies based on real-time sediment feedback.…”
