Περιγραφή: Trailing suction hopper dredgers (TSHDs) are widely used in port subgrade reinforcement and land reclamation layered backfilling, with construction quality relying on sediment settling paths and deposition characteristics. To tackle the lack of guidance on key parameters like bottom door opening, sailing speed, and related problems, a multiphase settling model based on coupled CFD–DEM is developed. This model analyzes sediment particle settling trajectories, distribution patterns, and uniformity responses under different conditions. Through orthogonal simulations of bottom door openings (22%, 50%, 100%) and sailing speeds (0.02, 0.045, 0.07 kn), the coupling relationships among particle settling velocity, main deposition layer thickness, and spatial extension are revealed, clarifying how parameter variations affect deposition uniformity and coverage. The results indicate that, relative to a small opening (22%), a moderate bottom door opening (50%) simultaneously increases layer thickness and markedly improves deposition uniformity (minimum uniformity index), whereas a very large opening (100%) further increases thickness at the expense of a modest loss of uniformity relative to the moderate case; higher sailing speeds cause long-range migration and local deposition irregularities. Engineering validation using field data from the Junyang 1 TSHD in the Manila Pasay project shows that a moderate bottom door opening of about 15% (selected based on the 22–50% simulation trend), combined with a medium sailing speed of about 0.4 kn, achieves a good balance between thickness control and uniformity. A coupled multi-physics analysis framework and a parameter–response map are established, systematically revealing the influence of operational parameters on sediment settling and deposition uniformity and providing quantitative support for TSHD backfilling operations.

This model analyzes sediment particle settling trajectories, distribution patterns, and uniformity responses under different conditions. Through orthogonal simulations of bottom door openings (22%, 50%, 100%) and sailing speeds (0.02, 0.045, 0.07 kn), the coupling relationships among particle settling velocity, main deposition layer thickness, and spatial extension are revealed, clarifying how parameter variations affect deposition uniformity and coverage. The results indicate that, relative to a small opening (22%), a moderate bottom door opening (50%) simultaneously increases layer thickness and markedly improves deposition uniformity (minimum uniformity index), whereas a very large opening (100%) further increases thickness at the expense of a modest loss of uniformity relative to the moderate case; higher sailing speeds cause long-range migration and local deposition irregularities. Engineering validation using field data from the Junyang 1 TSHD in the Manila Pasay project shows that a moderate bottom door opening of about 15% (selected based on the 22–50% simulation trend), combined with a medium sailing speed of about 0.4 kn, achieves a good balance between thickness control and uniformity.
