Research Overview
• In recent years, there has been an increase in the use of powerful engines along with
large diameter propeller for global maritime trade. Consequently the propeller jet velocities
have increased considerably, causing seabed scouring [1] Severe erosion could occur on
the bed or bank of navigation channels and around harbor structures[2]
• Several computational fluid dynamics(CFD) simulations are conducted to investigate the
effect of number of propeller’s blade, Under Keel Clearance(UKC) and propeller
speed(RPM) on the sediment resuspension of seabed to assist engineers in designing the
protection structure and bathymetry level at harbor.
Research Overview
Sediment Scour: Entrainment
• Sediment grains of species n are lifeted from the bed and entrained by turbulent eddies
• Scour process is driven by the bed shear stress, 𝜏0
• Threshold or incipient motion is evaluated using the non-dimensional Critical Shields Parameter, 𝜏∗c
• Entrainment of species n occurs when 𝜏0 exceed some empirically-determined critical value for
dimensionless shear stress, 𝜏∗c
• For entrainment, the velocity at which the grains leave the packed bed is the lifting velocity and is
calculated based on the equation below

Table 3,4 and 5 show the maximum suspended sediment concentration (SSC) along x-axis at elevation of 0.33T(left), 0.67T(middle) and 1.0T (right) above seabed
Overally, the maximum SSC are higher at the elevation of 0.33T compare to 0.67T and 1.0T. Most of the
SSC observations in open-channel flow, the maximum SSC is located near the surface of the sand bed
with it gradually decreasing toward the water surface. Generally, the magnitude of the sediment
concentration and the sediment transportation characteristic at any point are closely related.[3]

Objective 3: To study the number of propeller’s blade influence on sediment transport characteristic
Graph above show the SSC at area of interest using 4-blades propeller. Propeller
with more blades having higher thrust efficiency KT compare to propeller with
lesser number of blades at the same RPM[5]. It is expect that 5-blades propeller
causes more critical scouring compare to 4-blades and 3-blades.
Conclusion
• Objective 1
The increase in propeller revolution speed(RPM) was proportional to the suspended
sediment concentration
• Objective 2
Still in process, will complete on end of October.
• Objective 3
Still in process, will complete before mid of November
It is expect that all simulation will be complete before end of November and the thesis
writing will complete around middle of December
