弧板式透空堤是由弧型板组成的新型防波堤结构。为探讨其透射系数的影响因素,利用Fluent软件基于N-S方程构建了波浪与板式透空堤相互作用的数值模型,讨论了相对潜深、入射波周期、相对波高、相对板宽和结构型式对透射系数的影响。结果表明:弧板式透空堤的透射系数随着相对波高和入射波周期的增大而增大,在静水面附近透射系数最小,尤以静水面和略高于静水面时的消浪效果最佳;在相同波浪要素条件下,静水面及其上0.02 m和0.04 m位置处,弧板式透空堤的消浪效果明显优于平板式透空堤。     

新型直立式透空堤消浪性能数值研究

为使防波堤同时具有良好的掩护效果和水体交换能力,提出了两种带有透浪通道的新型直立式防波堤。基于Fluent求解器建立了三维数值波浪水槽,通过与试验结果对比,验证了该数值水槽求解波浪与透空堤作用具有较高的精度。对两种防波堤在规则波作用下的透浪特性进行了研究,结果表明:透射系数K_t与透空率呈正线性相关,且可通过调整透浪通道间距,使相同透空率下K_t降低20%～30%。对同一结构,K_t随相对波长的增大而显著增大,但受相对波高的影响较小。在透空率大于0.16后,异型沉箱防波堤的消浪性能明显优于错位沉箱。基于数值计算结果,给出了以上两种透空堤波浪透射系数的经验公式。

Wave motion over a submerged breakwater with an upper horizontal porous plate and a lower horizontal solid plate

This study examines the hydrodynamic performance of a modified two-layer horizontal-plate breakwater. The breakwater consists of an upper submerged horizontal porous plate and a lower submerged horizontal solid plate. By means of the matched eigenfunction expansion method, a linear analytical solution is developed for the interaction of water waves with the structure. Then the reflection coefficient, the transmission coefficient, the energy-loss coefficient and the wave forces acting on the plates are calculated. The numerical results obtained for limiting cases are exactly the same as previous predictions for a single submerged horizontal solid plate and a single submerged horizontal porous plate. Numerical results show that with a suitable geometrical porosity of the upper plate, the uplift wave forces on both plates can be controlled at a low level. Numerical results also show that the transmission coefficient will be always small if the dimensionless plate length (plate length versus incident wavelength) exceeds a certain moderate value. This is rather significant for practical engineering, as the incident wavelength varies over a wide range in practice. Moreover, it is found that the hydrodynamic performance of the present structure may be further enhanced if the lower plate is also perforated.     

Porosity effects on non-breaking surface waves over permeable submerged breakwaters

This study investigated how the porosity of submerged breakwaters affects non-breaking wave transformations. Eight model geometries each with six different porosities, from 0.421 to 0.912, were also considered. Experimental results reveal that the model width has little effect on wave reflection and transmission when the model heights are fixed. The transmission coefficient is maximum at a kh in the range from 1.3 to 2.0 and minimum at a kh around 0.7. The wave reflection maximum is at kh of near 0.5. The energy loss of the primary waves is maximum near kh=0.81 and minimum when the porosity of the model is large. Porosity does affect wave transformation and its influence becomes significant as the heights of the models increase. For the range of porosities tested, wave energy loss from the primary harmonic was found to be almost constant at around 0.4 when kh >1.3, decreasing slowly when kh <1.3; wave energy loss decreases for porosities above 0.75.     

On the energy dissipation of jacket type offshore platforms with different pile–leg interactions

In recent years, considerable amount of effort has been made to design earthquake resistant offshore structures in seismic active areas. In order to achieve this objective, all components of a typical structure should function properly to dissipate seismically-induced energy within the members. Among components of an offshore installation, braces are of significant importance as they contribute substantially to total energy dissipation of the structure. Buckling in compression and yielding in tension assist the process of energy absorption. Nevertheless, the functionality of braces is dependent upon their joints where joint-cans are included to avoid any brittle fracture and unpredicted failure mechanisms.In this paper, special attention is being paid to energy dissipation of jacket type offshore platforms with two different pile–leg interactions. A case study representing an offshore platform is studied both analytically and experimentally. Analytical models are validated step by step based on available experimental tests and observations on individual members. Several parameters such as cyclic behavior, maximum bearing load and most importantly energy dissipation of two different 2D frames are investigated. Results provide promising insights into design and fabrication of fixed platforms with different pile–leg interactions.     

双筒双板式浮式防波堤消浪性能研究

浮式防波堤具有对海洋环境友好、施工方便、造价受水深影响小等优点,在海岸工程领域有广阔的应用前景。但受消波效果不稳定、结构易破坏且对锚泊系统要求高等因素的影响,浮式防波堤在实际工程应用中面临较大的挑战。本文采用物理模型试验以及基于OpenFoam的数值模拟方法,对一种由双浮筒、双竖板与水平连接板组成的新型浮式防波堤结构进行消浪性能研究。讨论波浪要素、相对竖板高度、相对水平连接板宽度等因素对双筒双板式浮式防波堤（DCDPFB）消浪性能的影响,分析其周围形成的局部涡量与速度场变化,确定相对最优的结构尺寸。结果表明,相对水平连接板宽度、相对竖板高度和半圆柱体尺寸是影响DCDPFB消浪性能的关键因素;波高与入水深度对透射系数的影响较小;DCDPFB周围形成的局部涡量与速度场变化是耗散波浪能量的重要因素;按照相对最优结构尺寸建造的DCDPFB试验段,在海上原型试验中表现出良好的消波性能。     

一种起伏板防波堤最优支撑刚度计算方法

带有弹簧支撑的水平板结构,可在波浪作用下起伏运动进行消浪,作为防波堤具有广泛的应用前景,但如何设计支撑刚度仍是当前研究的重点课题。基于黏性流理论建立数值波浪水槽,开展规则波与起伏板防波堤相互作用的模拟,得到起伏板透反射系数随支撑刚度的变化曲线,并分析最小透射系数对应刚度下起伏板运动相位对消浪的影响。为快速得到最小透射系数对应的支撑刚度,根据弹簧—阻尼—质量模型,建立一种以运动相位为输入反推起伏板最优支撑刚度的计算方法,并将推导结果与数值结果进行比较。结果表明,该方法推导的最优支撑刚度值与数值最优值接近,且可省去遍历取最优值的步骤,可为起伏板防波堤的支撑刚度设计提供参考。     

Improved representation of breaking wave energy dissipation in parametric wave transformation models

An improved formulation to describe breaking wave energy dissipation is presented and incorporated into a previous parametric cross-shore wave transformation model [Baldock, T.E., Holmes, P., Bunker, S., Van Weert, P., 1998. Cross-shore hydrodynamics within an unsaturated surf zone. Coastal Engineering 34, 173–196]. The new formulation accounts for a term in the bore dissipation equation neglected in some previous modelling, but which is shown to be important in the inner surf zone. The only free model parameter remains the choice of γ, the ratio of wave height to water depth at initial breaking, and a well-established standard parameter is used for all model runs. The proposed model is compared to three sets of experimental data and a previous version of the model which was extensively calibrated against field and laboratory data. The model is also compared to the widely used model presented by Thornton and Guza (1983) [Thornton, E.B., Guza, R.T., 1983. Transformation of wave height distribution. Journal of Geophysical Research 88 (No.C10), 5925–5938].     

Calibration and modification of energy dissipation models for irregular wave breaking

This study is undertaken to recalibrate eight existing energy dissipation models and find out the suitable models, which can be used to compute H_rms for a wide range of experimental conditions. The examination shows that the coefficients in the existing models are not the optimal values for a wide range of experimental conditions. Using the new calibrated coefficients, all existing models can be used for computing H_rms and the model of Battjes, J.A., Stive, M.J.F. [1985. Calibration and verification of a dissipation model for random breaking waves. Journal of Geophysical Research 90 (C5), 9159–9167] gives the best predictions. The existing models are also modified by changing the breaker height formulas in the dissipation models. The accuracy of most existing models is improved significantly by using the suitable breaker height formula.     

跃层厚度对内孤立波能量耗散的影响

内孤立波破碎混合是陆架地形上海洋混合过程重要的能量汇,为了探究内孤立波在连续跃层密度分层中能量变化及能量耗散规律,本文使用OpenFOAM建立数值水槽,基于双曲正切曲线设置连续跃层密度分层开展了一系列工况的模拟,针对跃层厚度对内孤立波能量传递及其耗散进行了详细分析。结果表明跃层厚度与跃层处流速剪切存在着负相关关系,随着跃层厚度的增加能量耗散先减小后增大。跃层厚度较小时,跃层处流速剪切强,理查德森数小,易产生开尔文-亥姆霍兹(Kelvin–Helmholtz)不稳定现象;随着跃层厚度的增大,流速剪切减小,理查德森数增大,开尔文-亥姆霍兹不稳定消失;跃层厚度达到临界值后,层结稳定性减小,理查德森数减小,流场的翻转混合过程加强,能量耗散也明显增强。     

基于能量耗散视角的红树林海岸沉积地貌学

能量耗散是海岸带沉积地貌学的重要研究方向。地貌系统中的能量耗散往往存在极值,但是关于地貌演化的能量耗散趋向是最大值还是最小值,一直存在争议。本文试图从文献梳理入手,回顾海岸带地貌过程中的能量耗散问题,并用阻抗匹配概念来解释能量耗散的极值问题：当地貌系统的机械储能效率最大而热力学耗散最小时,表现为“共振阻抗匹配”,反之则表现为“梯度阻抗匹配”。基于无量纲沉降速度Ω的海滩地貌分类体系,正是表现从“共振阻抗匹配”到“梯度阻抗匹配”的典型谱系。在此基础上,从能量耗散的视角,对红树林生态系统的沉积地貌过程进行了文献综述,总结了潮沟-潮滩-红树林界面上的阻抗匹配和能量耗散问题,讨论了界面能量耗散行为如何通过水动力学和热力学过程反馈到红树林的生长过程,指出了红树林生态系统中潮沟-潮滩三维地形结构的重要性,并建议在红树林生态修复工程中应用这种结构来更好地维持系统的稳定性。     

Numerical study of enhanced energy dissipation near a seamount

Using a two-dimensional primitive equation model, we examine nonlinear responses of a semidiurnal tidal flow impinging on a seamount with a background Garrett-Munk-like (GM-like) internal wavefield. It is found that horizontally elongated pancake-like structures of high vertical wavenumber near-inertial current shear are created both in the near-field (the region over the slope of the seamount) and far-field (the region over the flat bottom of the ocean). An important distinction is that the high vertical wavenumber near-inertial current shear is amplified only at mid-latitudes in the far-field (owing to a parametric subharmonic instability (PSI)), whereas it is amplified both at mid-and high-latitudes (above the latitude where PSI can occur) in the near-field. In order to clarify the generating mechanism for the strong shear in the near-field, additional numerical experiments are carried out with the GM-like background internal waves removed. The experiments show that the strong shear is also created, indicating that it is not caused by the interaction between the background GM-like internal waves and the semidiurnal internal tides. One possible explanation is proposed for the amplification of high vertical wavenumber near-inertial current shear in the near-field where tide residual flow resulting from tide-topography interaction plays an important role in transferring energy from high-mode internal tides to near-inertial internal waves.
