Abstract

To develop the capacity of electricity production in Indonesia, supporting infrastructure such as water intake channel is necessary. By using water intake channel system, power companies can utilize seawater as a cooling power plant. Water from the ocean is pumped into the cooling system to cool the generating engine. In practice, the construction of intake channel often has a problem, especially in the pump section. One of the most common problems is the vibration of the pumps caused by vortex flow. Based on research conducted by Kim et al (2012), one of the causes of vortex flow is the speed difference. The free sea water surface has several characteristics, one of which is sea tides. The tides can cause an acceleration that allows the vortex to occur. For this reason, this paper perform numerical testing to determine how the effect of these tides on the possibility of vortex flow in the intake channel. Moreover, the direction of vortices flow and shape that may occur due to differences in elevation caused by tides is also examined.
