as Sloshing Fluid and Wave Absorbent Boundary Hydrodynamic load application using sloshing fluid
Wave absorbent boundary condition at the far end of the reservoir
This on-demand session focuses on Seismic analysis of concrete gravity dams is not only about structural inertia.
It is about understanding how the reservoir dynamically interacts with the dam during earthquake motion. Hydrodynamic pressure, wave propagation, and boundary reflection effects can significantly amplify structural response if not modeled properly.
- Hydrodynamic forces generated during seismic excitation
- Fluid–Structure Interaction using Westergaard’s added mass and sloshing medium approaches
- Limitations of simplified added mass methods
- Implementation of wave absorbent boundary conditions for realistic reservoir modeling
