Research on the characteristics of the vortex field of breakwaters by the PIV technique

The flow field around the submerged breakwater has complex turbulent change; and breakwater is more prone to the damage. By the PIV technique, and based on the model test, the research about velocity flow field and eddy characteristics of submerged breakwater under the action of regular waves has been carried out, and the velocity distribution of flow field can be obtained. By analyzing the experimental data under different hydraulic conditions of different breakwaters, the vortex field characteristics around breakwaters are quantitatively studied.
