Development and Evaluation of a Design Framework for Preparing Infographic Forms for Scholarly Publications

Abstract

The propeller jet flow caused to significant erosion and sedimentation near port structures, in front of quay walls, and around pile structures. Additionally, shallow water depths increase the amount of erosion caused by the propeller jet. If these problems are not considered during the design phase, serious erosion at the foundation of port structures and consequent significant stability issues may occur. In this study, the effect of erosion under twin propeller jet influence was investigated by examining the distance between propellers and the seabed, propeller propeller speed, and the distance between propellers, and the results were compared. It was found that as the propeller speed increases, the maximum erosion increases, as the distance between propellers increases, the maximum erosion decreases, and as the distance between the propeller and the seabed increases, the maximum erosion decreases. The obtained maximum erosion results were found to be consistent with the literature.
