Use of Submerged Barriers to Mitigate Particle Retention in a Coastal Power-Plant Intake Basin Using Hydraulic-Model-Supported CFD
Cooling-water intake basins in coastal power plants may experience particle retention and sediment deposition when complex inlet geometry produces large-scale recirculation and low-velocity zones near intake structures. This study examines the use of submerged barriers to mitigate particle retention in a de-identified...
