Thermal Drainage and Sediment Transport Model for Nuclear and Thermal Power Plant near Shore

Take the project of MERAK ENERGI power plant as the research object, a vertically-integrated two-dimensional unsteady tidal current numerical model is adopted. A triangular grid system is adopted for the vertically-averaged two-dimensional planar numerical model with constant coefficients. We acquire the hydraulic and thermal characteristics of thermal drainage of power plant in the local water region, simulate and analyses the intake water temperature variations along with the variation of tide level at different tidal type, simulate and research the variation of bed load and suspended load transport and evolution of sea bed. The numerical model can be applied to simulate flow field and thermal field near the power plant. At the same time, we have done some sediment analysis, which could be used as reference for engineering design.
