任意截面大尺度柱群振动时的流体作用力

大尺度垂直柱体是海洋工程结构物的一种典型结构型式。在很多场合,柱体与周围流体的耦联振动是设计中重要的考虑因素之一。尤其当多根柱体共存且相距不远时,柱与柱的干扰将导致柱体振动时流体动力特性的改变。本文发展了单柱振动时的源汇分布法,可用于计算任意截面大尺度柱群振动时的流体作用力(以附加质量和阻尼系数的形式表达),并初步探讨了柱间间距对流体作用力变化的影响。在我们的讨论中,柱的截面可以是任意的。

破碎波冲击直立桩柱的大比尺试验研究

波浪破碎是海洋中最常见的现象之一,其能够对海洋中的结构物产生巨大的波浪力作用。本文在大比尺波浪水槽通过聚焦波的方法生成了极端波浪和不同破碎阶段的破碎波浪,并对其冲击桩柱过程中的点压力进行了测量,进而采用连续小波变换的方法,对桩柱上点压力的分布及大小进行了细致分析。结果表明,多次重复试验下,相比非破碎极端波浪,破碎极端波浪产生的点压力离散性更强;波浪破碎程度越大,测点位置越靠近波峰,则点压力离散程度越大;破碎波的最大点压力出现在1.2倍的最大波面附近,且其大小可达3倍的最大静水压力;基于点压力小波谱,不同破碎阶段破碎波产生冲击作用不同,对于波浪作用桩柱前波浪已经发生破碎的情况,其冲击区域更大,点压力分布更复杂;而对于桩面破碎的情况,其造成的波浪总力更大。

多向不规则波作用下九桩群桩效应试验研究

小尺度群桩应用广泛,一直是学者研究的重点,小尺度有别于大尺度桩柱,由于桩柱周围存在漩涡的脱落,使得受力特性复杂。以往的研究过程中,波浪主要采用单向不规则波浪,并且试验模型多以两桩或三桩组成的群桩结构为主,桩数相对较少。多向不规则波与群桩结构的作用特点有别于单向不规则波且研究较少。通过物理模型试验,针对多向不规则波对于9桩桩排群桩结构的作用进行了研究。首先综合考虑KC1/3数和相对桩径的影响,提出以参数KCLD 1/3数来衡量群桩的效应,并分析了正向力与横向力随着参数KCLD 1/3数和相对桩距的变化关系,研究了群桩中不同桩位桩柱波浪力的变化规律和方向分布宽度对于群桩波浪力的影响。研究结果表明,群桩中各桩的正向力随着方向分布标准差的增大而减小,而横向力在相对桩距较大时随着方向分布标准差的增大而增大,同时群桩中不同位置桩上的波浪力具有较大的差异。

The significance of earthquake-induced dynamic forces in coastal structures design

The dynamic forces of sea water and backfill soil acting on coastal embankments and the hydrodynamic forces on offshore breakwaters have been analyzed using a finite-difference scheme. A non-horizontal sea bottom is considered in the analysis. Both rigid and flexible embankments are included in the study. For a coastal embankment, the hydrodynamic pressure of sea water acting on the embankment face significantly increases as the slope of the sea bottom increases. On the other side of the embankment, the pore pressure and the interaction force between the soil and fluid will augment significantly when the backfill soil is compressed during earthquakes. When the sea-embankment-backfill soil interaction is included, the dynamic forces acting on a flexible embankment are much larger than those on a rigid one. The comparison of evaluating the sliding of a cassion in a case study of SPM by a conventional analysis and the present seismic analysis was made. The earthquake-induced dynamic pressures on both sides of the embankment (or breakwater) could be much larger than the force generated by the storm surge. The hydrodynamic (or seismic) analysis incorporating the effect of an earthquake should be included in the coastal embankment or offshore breakwater design, especially for the area with active earthquakes.

Hydrodynamic interaction forces on multi-moduled structures

The size, complexity and critical operations of many offshore structures, including the mobile offshore bases (MOBs) of current interest, require careful determination of wave forces on the neighboring structures, including their interactions. This paper describes an analytical/numerical approach that determines the wave forces on multiple structures in the vicinity of one another. The method involves the consideration of multiple vessel interaction and scattering in waves. The analysis is an extension of the semi-analytical multiple vertical cylinder analysis published by the author. The analysis is similar to the one proposed by Kagemoto and Yue for axisymmetric bodies.The direct method of linear diffraction, while quite accurate and efficient in solving the hydrodynamic problem, demands a large amount of memory and requires considerable execution time. The present analysis is very efficient in these respects. It is accomplished by marrying the direct method with a semi-closed analytical method of multiple scattering developed for an array composed of vertical cylindrical structures. It is recognized that this analytical method has a limitation owing to the geometry of many offshore structures including MOBs. Therefore, the analysis is extended to an arbitrary geometry. In this method, the direct matrix method of diffraction problem is applied to an isolated module and then extended to structures with the multiple scattering technique to account for the interaction of multiple structures.Comparisons are made of the results from the analytical and conventional numerical diffraction theory with those of the semi-analytical tool using the above-mentioned analysis.     

Spectral Analysis of Nonlinear Drag Forces

The spectral properties of nonlinear drag forces of random waves on vertical circular cylinders are analyzed in this paper by means of nonlinear spectral analysis. The analysis provides basic parameters for estimation of the characteristic drag forces. Numerical computation is also performed for the investigation of the effects of nonlinearity of the drag forces.The results indicate that the wave drag forces calculated by linear wave theory are larger than those calculated by the third order Stokes wave theory for given waves. The difference between them increases with wave height. The wave drag forces calculated by use of hnear approximation are about 5% smaller than their actual values when measured in the peak values of spectral densities. This will result in a safety problem for the design of offshore structures. Therefore, the nonlinear effect of wave drag forces should be taken into comidemtion in design and application of important offshore structures.     

Hull component interaction and scaling for TLP hydrodynamic coefficients

The purpose of this paper is to validate a new method that can be used by offshore platform designers to estimate the added mass and hydrodynamic damping coefficients of potential Tension Leg Platform hull configurations. These coefficients are critical to the determination of the platform response particularly to high frequency motions in heave caused by sum-frequency wave forcing i.e. “springing”. Previous research has developed the means by which offshore platform designers can extrapolate anticipated full-scale hydrodynamic coefficients based on the response of individual model scale component shapes. The work presented here further evaluates the component scaling laws for a single vertical cylinder and quantifies the effects due to hydrodynamic interaction. Hydrodynamic interaction effects are established through a direct comparison between the superposition of individual hull component coefficients and those evaluated directly from complete hull configuration models. The basis of this comparison is established by the experimental evaluation of the hydrodynamic coefficients for individual hull components as well as partial and complete platform models. The results indicate that hydrodynamic interaction effects between components are small in heave, and validate component scaling and superposition as an effective means for added mass and damping coefficient estimation of prototype platforms. It is found that the dependency of damping ratio with KC for a TLP is almost identical to that of a single column, thus offering a scaling methodology for prototype damping ratio values.     

Comparison of methods for computing hydrodynamic characteristics of arrays of wave power devices

A comparison of methods for the calculation of the hydrodynamic characteristics of arrays of wave power devices is presented. In particular, the plane-wave approximation and an exact multiple scattering formulation have been used to compute exciting wave forces, hydrodynamic coefficients and q factors for arrays of interacting wave power devices. The results obtained are compared with each other, and accuracy aspects of the computations are stressed and critically assessed.     

Diffraction–radiation of multiple floating structures in directional waves

The dynamics of multiple floating structures have been studied using the finite element method. The emphasis is on the hydrodynamic behaviour of multiple bodies under a multi-directional wave field. A two-dimensional numerical model has been adopted to evaluate hydrodynamic coefficients and forces in an oblique wave field. The responses in sway, heave and roll modes are reported. The linear filter technique is then used to extrapolate the responses under directional waves. The effect of mean wave direction and directional homogeneity on the hydrodynamic behaviour of the structure is studied. Based on the present study, it is found that the two-dimensional model is applicable to investigate the wave-structure interaction problems of the type herein considered.     

Regular waves onto a truncated circular column: A comparison of experiments and simulations

Accurate prediction of hydrodynamic forces on offshore structures is critical for safe and cost effective design of fixed and floating offshore structures exposed to a harsh environment. In the present paper, nonlinear interactions between regular waves and a single surface-piercing truncated circular column have been investigated using a frequency domain potential flow solver (DIFFRACT) and a full CFD solver in OpenFOAM for direct comparisons. Both the predicted free surface elevation around the column and the total force acting on the column have been analysed and compared with experimental data from MOERI. The degree of non-linearity and the contribution of each harmonic to the free surface run-up and wave forces have been examined, and evaluations of the accuracy and computational efficiency of the potential flow solver and the full CFD solver are provided and compared in the paper. Also of note are the local forms of the scattered waves around the column in numerical simulations, which are consistent with the Type-1 and Type-2 patterns identified in physical experiments at Imperial College.
