Analysis of Tidal Stream around Ship Impact Protection of Incheon Bridge Using CFD

Recently, the massive offshore bridges in a ship passage have been constructed on the sea. Therefore, the ship impact protection for the bridge-piers are installed to consider the possibility of vessel collision danger. Due to the ship impact protection, the flow-field characteristics are changed in comparison with the condition without the ship impact protection. Especially, the fluid velocity between the pier and the ship impact protection is possible to increase due to the contraction of the cross sectional area of flow. In this study, the tidal energy magnitude around the ship impact protection of Incheon bridge is assessed by simulating the flow-field by using FLOW-3D software.
