“…Other spoilers with more complex structures have also been applied for scour protection. For example, the protective effect of a rectangular pore structure is affected by parameters such as the angle of attack, the porosity, and the number of layers of the structure, among which the angle of attack has the most significant effect on scour protection [37]. In active protection, the impact on the ecological aspects is also emphasized.…”

The pile foundations of offshore wind turbines face serious problems from scour damage. This study takes offshore wind turbine monopile foundations as the research object and proposes an innovative anti-scour device for the protection net. A numerical simulation research method based on CFD-DEM was used to model the local scour of the pile foundation and protection net. The validity of the numerical model was verified by comparing the simulation results of the local scour of the pile foundation under the condition of clear water scour and the results of the flume test. The permeability rate was defined to characterize the overwatering of the protection net, and numerical simulations were performed for protection nets with permeability in the range of 0.681 to 0.802. The flow field perturbations, changes in washout pit morphology, and changes in washout depth development due to the protective netting were also analyzed. It was found that the protection net can effectively reduce the flow velocity around the pile, cut down the intensity of the submerged water in front of the pile, and provide scouring protection. Finally, the analysis and summary of the protection efficiency of the different protection nets revealed that the protection efficiency within the nets was consistently the highest. On the outside of the net, the protection efficiency is poor at a small permeability rate but increases with an increasing permeability rate.
