Hydrodynamic coefficients for a thick-walled bottomless cylindrical body floating in water of finite depth

The paper deals with the linearized hydrodynamic forces acting on a thick-walled, bottomless cylindrical body having vertical symmetry axis and oscillating in water of finite depth. For the solution of the radiation problem, the flow field around the structure is subdivided into ring-shaped fluid regions, in each of which an axisymmetric eigenfunction expansion for the velocity potential is made. By implementing Galerkin's method the various potential solutions are then matched and numerical results concerning the hydrodynamic coefficients for heave, surge and pitch motions, as well as the coupling terms between the last two modes are obtained.     

An efficient hybrid integral-equation method for point-absorber wave energy converters with a vertical axis of symmetry

To assist in the prototyping and controller design of point-absorber wave energy converters (WECs), an easy-to-implement hybrid integral-equation method is presented for computing the frequency-domain hydrodynamic properties of bodies with a vertical axis of symmetry in waves. The current hybrid method decomposes the flow domain into two parts: an inner domain containing the body and an outer domain extending to infinity. The solution in the inner domain is computed using the boundary-element method, and the outer-domain solution is expressed using eigenfunctions. Proper matching at the domain boundary is achieved by enforcing continuity of velocity potential and its normal derivative. Body symmetry allows efficient computation using ring sources in the inner domain. The current method is successfully applied to three different body geometries including a vertical truncated floating cylinder, the McIver toroid, and the coaxial-cylinder WEC being developed in the authors’ laboratory. In particular, the current results indicate that, by replacing the flat bottom of the coaxial-cylinder WEC with the Berkeley-Wedge (BW) shape, viscous effect can be significantly reduced with only minor negative impact on wave-exciting force, thus increasing WEC efficiency. Finally, by comparing to experimental measurements, the current method is demonstrated to accurately predict the heave added mass and wave-exciting force on the coaxial-cylinder WEC with BW geometry. If a viscous damping correction factor is used, the heave motion amplitude can also be accurately computed.     

Hydrodynamics identities and wave-drift force of a porous body

In the present study, hydrodynamic interactions between water waves and porous bodies are investigated. Various hydrodynamic identities, such as the Haskind relation, Bessho-Newman relation etc., are systematically re-examined. Some of these identities, such as the symmetry of added mass and damping and the Haskind-Hanaoka relation, are still valid for porous bodies even without modification to the identities. However, when energy dissipation due to porosity is involved, appropriate supplementation is required to properly consider porous effects. In addition, the calculation of wave drift forces acting on a porous body is formulated either by pressure integration or using momentum conservation as basis. We conclude that porosity dissipation makes a more substantial contribution to wave drift forces than does conventional dissipation created by scattered and radiated waves.     

Wave loads on a stationary floating bottomless cylindrical body with finite wall thickness

This paper aims at presenting a method for solving the linearised diffraction problem of the interaction between regular sinusoidal, small amplitude incident waves and a bottomless cylindrical floating body with a vertical symmetry axis and finite wall thickness, through the idealisation of the flow field around the structure using ring elements. The horizontal and vertical excitation forces, the rolling moment, the resulting wave motion inside the cylinder, as well as the pressure distribution on the wetted surface of the structure are obtained by solving the diffraction boundary-value problem through the implementation of the Galerkin method. The analytical predictions are compared with other analytical results and pertinent experimental data. Finally, the influence of the wall thickness on the wave loads and the fluid motion inside the pond is examined.     

Invariants of Spectral Moments and their Degeneracy for a Gaussian Surface

The transformation and symmetry properties of surface derivatives and spectral moments under rotation of the coordinate axes are examined. It is shown that the moments as well as the derivatives are generally represented in terms of their rotational invariants. For a Gaussian surface, which is characterized by additional symmetry of correlation matrices, the even moments higher than the second order are degenerate; i.e., only three of them are independent, and only two invariants are nonzero. Specific properties of spectrum symmetry and the joint statistical distribution of the mean and differential curvatures are found in this case. As an application of these results to observation of the sea surface, a simple optical method is suggested for simultaneous remote-sensing measurement of the second- and fourth-order moments. This method is based on the count of reversely reflected light impulses, arising from sea-surface scanning by the continuous laser radiation.     

Possible spreading centers in the Japan sea

The magnetic anomaly profiles across the Japan and the Yamato Basins are analyzed to find possible spreading centers. Magnetic anomalies are first transformed and then the correlation coefficient of symmetry of the pattern of profile is computed along each profile. If the coefficient of symmetry has a notable maximum at a point and such a point lines up for different profiles, the line of these points of maximum symmetry may be a spreading center. Three possible spreading centers are obtained. Two are situated at about the axis of the Japan and the Yamato Basins, and the other is at the topographic extension of the Yamato Ridge. The age of the opening has not been identified on the magnetic time scale yet, but the strike of the proposed spreading centers suggests a pre-Eocene time.

The symmetry and stability of unstructured mesh C-grid shallow water models under the influence of Coriolis

The symmetry and stability properties of two unstructured C-grid discretisations of the shallow water equations are discussed. We establish that a scheme in which the circumcentres of the mesh triangles are used as the surface elevation points has advantageous symmetry properties and derive a Coriolis discretisation which preserves these properties. It is shown that the resulting scheme is conservative in a discretised energy norm. We then establish that schemes in which the water surface elevations are stored at the mesh triangle centroids do not share these advantageous symmetry properties. Finally we show examples which demonstrate that the centroid based scheme is subject to unstable growing modes, particularly in long timescale, Coriolis dominated problems; while the energy conservative circumcentre based scheme suffers from no such limitation. We conclude that unstructured C-grid methods using the triangle circumcentres and the conservative Coriolis scheme derived here therefore have advantages for this sort of problem over those schemes based on centroids.

Conformal invariance and conserved quantities of Appell systems under second-class Mei symmetry

We propose a new concept of the conformal invariance and the conserved quantities for holonomic systems with quasi-coordinates. A one-parameter infinitesimal transformation group and its infinitesimal transformation vector of generators for holonomic systems with quasi-coordinates are described in detail. The conformal factor in the determining equations of the Lie symmetry is found. The necessary and sufficient conditions of conformal invariance, which are simultaneously of Lie symmetry, are given. The conformal invariance may lead to corresponding Hojman conserved quantities when the conformal invariance satisfies some conditions. Finally, an illustration example is introduced to demonstrate the application of the result.

Water entry of a finite width wedge near a floating body

The problem of a two-dimensional finite-width wedge entering water near a freely floating body is considered through the velocity potential theory for the incompressible liquid with the fully nonlinear boundary conditions on the free surface. The problem is solved by using the boundary element method in the time domain. The numerical process is divided into two phases based on whether the interaction between the wedge and floating body is significant. In the first phase, when the single wedge enters water at initial stage, only a small part near its tip is in the fluid, the problem is studied in a stretched coordinate system and the presence of the floating body has no major effect. In the second phase, the disturbance by water entry of the wedge has reached the floating body, and both are considered together in the physical system. The auxiliary function method is adopted to decouple the nonlinear mutual dependence between the motions of the wedge and floating body, both in three degrees of freedom, and the fluid flow, as well as the interaction effects between them. Case studies are undertaken for a wedge entering water in forced or free fall motion, vertically or obliquely. Results are provided for the accelerations, velocities, pressure distribution and free surface deformation, and the interaction effects are discussed.

Hydrodynamic loads on subsea robots

Free floating subsea robots are often subjected to complex hydrodynamic loads due to waves/currents and wakes from nearby structures. This makes control extremely difficult. Good hydrodynamics data might counteract this. This paper presents hydrodynamics data for two configurations undergoing various combinations of steady translation and approximately steady rotation. The two configurations are: a spherical body with a single fixed link arm and a two link arm without a body. For both configurations neural networks were found to provide a reasonable fit to the data. We believe that such fits could be used to improve control.

浅水中浮体在波浪作用下运动的三维时域计算模型

港口中系泊船在波浪作用下运动问题的本质是浅水波浪与浮体的相互作用。与深水情况不同,浅水问题应当考虑水底、水域边界的影响及浅水波浪自身的特性,单一模型很难实现该模拟过程。为此,建立了Boussinesq方程计算入射波和Laplace方程计算散射波的全时域组合计算模型。有限元法求解的Boussinesq方程能使入射波充分考虑到水底、水域边界的影响和浅水波浪的特性;散射波被线性化,采用边界元法求解,并以浮体运动时的物面条件为入射波和散射波求解的匹配条件。该方法为完全的时域方法,计算网格不随时间变动,计算过程较为方便。通过与实验及其他数值方法的结果进行比较,验证了本模型对非线性波面、浮体的运动都有比较理想的计算结果,显示了本模型对非线性问题具有较好的计算能力。

Crossover from a pseudogap state to a superconducting state

This paper deduces that the particular electronic structure of cuprate superconductors confines Cooper pairs to be first formed in the antinodal region which is far from the Fermi surface, and these pairs are incoherent and result in the pseudogap state. With the change of doping or temperature, some pairs are formed in the nodal region which locates the Fermi surface, and these pairs are coherent and lead to superconductivity. Thus the coexistence of the pseudogap and the superconducting gap is explained when the two kinds of gaps are not all on the Fermi surface. It also shows that the symmetry of the pseudogap and the superconducting gap are determined by the electronic structure, and non-s wave symmetry gap favours the high-temperature superconductivity. Why the high-temperature superconductivity occurs in the metal region near the Mott metal-insulator transition is also explained.     

Time-domain wave diffraction of two-dimensional single and twin hulls

The nonlinear diffraction of 2D single and twin hulls are studied by employing a mixed Eulerian–Lagrangian model based on a higher-order cubic-spline boundary element solver. Two types of simulations are considered. In the first, waves are generated by a piston-type wave-maker in a rectangular tank and in the second case a nonlinear incident wave is assumed to exist in the tank in which the body is introduced. For the application of this model, the full nonlinear diffraction problem is recast in terms of a perturbation wave-field. Computations are performed for rectangular and triangular hull geometries. Computed results show significant nonlinearities, particularly in the heave force. The twin hull results show the influence of wave interference on the diffraction forces. This interference influences the surge force considerably, but heave force is less affected.
