A nonlinear vortex induced vibration model of marine risers

With the exploitation of oil and gas in deep water, the traditional vortex induced vibration (VIV) theory is challenged by the unprecedented flexibility of risers. A nonlinear time-dependent VIV model is developed in this paper based on a VIV lift force model and the Morison equation. Both the inline vibration induced by the flow due to vortex shedding and the fluid-structure interaction in the transverse direction are included in the model. One of the characteristics of the model is the response-dependent lift force with nonlinear damping, which is different from other VIV models. The calculations show that the model can well describe the VIV of deepwater risers with the results agreeing with those calculated by other models.     

黑龙江垦区城镇化动力机制分析

垦区是中国农业现代化发展最为迅速的地区之一,也是中国中西部农村工业化和城镇化的参鉴模式之一。以黑龙江垦区为例,分两个层次深入分析垦区城镇化的动力机制的演变过程及与其他农区城镇化的差异。按照城镇化的资金来源和发展主体进行划分,黑龙江垦区城镇化的动力机制过程分为两个阶段,即1947-1978 年自上而下的城镇化阶段,1979-至今自下而上为主的快速城镇化新阶段。从动力因子视角对垦区的动力机制进行了研究,结果表明1989-2010 年间影响垦区城镇化的主要动力依次是市场力、内源力、行政力和外向力。与沿海地区的小城镇相比,黑龙江垦区远离大都市区,城镇化动力表现为典型的“内生性增长”,其发展模式可为我国广大中西部地区村镇发展提供很好的借鉴。但垦区的城镇化方式有其特殊性和先天不足,应加强体制改革,转变经济增长方式,合理规划农垦小城镇,实现垦区农业现代化、工业化、城镇化的协调发展。     

波流共同作用下海底子母管线水动力的物理模型试验研究

通过物理模型试验研究海底子母管线分别在规则波加流和不规则波加流作用下的水动力特性。基于Morison方程,采用"等效直径法"分析得到子母管线拖曳力系数C_D,惯性力系数C_M和升力系数C_L(C_D⁺,C_L^-)。试验分别考察了流速比U_c/U_w,母管与海床间隙比e/D及子母管间的相对缝隙G/D对海底子母管线水动力系数的影响。结果表明水动力系数随U_c/U_w的增大而减小;当e/D<0.5时,海床对子母管线受力的影响比较明显,C_D,C_M及C_L⁺均随e/D增大而减小,|C_L^-|随e/D增大而增大;对子母管间的相互影响也不可忽略,C_D,C_M和|C_L^-|均随G/D增大而减小,C_L⁺值随G/D增大而增大。     

Artificial neural network ability in evaluation of random wave-induced inline force on a vertical cylinder

An approach based on artificial neural network (ANN) is used to develop predictive relations between hydrodynamic inline force on a vertical cylinder and some effective parameters. The data used to calibrate and validate the ANN models are obtained from an experiment. Multilayer feed-forward neural networks that are trained with the back-propagation algorithm are constructed by use of three design parameters (i.e. wave surface height, horizontal and vertical velocities) as network inputs and the ultimate inline force as the only output. A sensitivity analysis is conducted on the ANN models to investigate the generalization ability (robustness) of the developed models, and predictions from the ANN models are compared to those obtained from Morison equation which is usually used to determine inline force as a computational method. With the existing data, it is found that least square method (LSM) gives less error in determining drag and inertia coefficients of Morison equation. With regard to the predicted results agreeing with calculations achieved from Morison equation that used LSM method, neural network has high efficiency considering its convenience, simplicity and promptitude. The outcome of this study can contribute to reducing the errors in predicting hydrodynamic inline force by use of ANN and to improve the reliability of that in comparison with the more practical state of Morison equation. Therefore, this method can be applied to relevant engineering projects with satisfactory results.     

青海玉树地震的天文背景分析

Shear-flow induced secondary circulation in parallel underwater topographic corrugation and its application to satellite image interpretation

This study aims to figure out satellite imaging mechanisms for submerged sand ridges in the shallow water region in the case of the flow parallel to the topography corrugation.Solving the disturbance governing equations of the shear-flow yields the analytical solutions of the secondary circulation.The solutions indicate that a flow with a parabolic horizontal velocity shear and a sinusoidal vertical velocity shear will induce a pair of vortexes with opposite signs distributed symmetrically on the two sides of central line of a rectangular canal.In the case of the presence of surface Ekman layer with the direction of Ekman current opposite to(coincident with) the mean flow,the two vortexes converge(diverge) at the central line of canal in the upper layer and form a surface current convergent(divergent) zone along the central line of the canal.In the case of the absence of surface Ekman layer,there is no convergent(divergent) zone formed over the sea surface.The theoretical results are applied to interpretations of three convergent cases,one divergent case and statistics of 27 cases of satellite observations in the submerged sand ridge region of the Liaodong Shoal in the Bohai Sea.We found that the long,finger-like,bright patterns on SAR images are corresponding to the locations of the canals(or tidal channels) formed by two adjacent sand ridges rather than the sand ridges themselves.

国内外泥石流活动关键指标估算方法之比较

泥石流流体容重、流速、冲击力是表征泥石流活动特征众多指标中的三个关键指标.本文在分析国内外对这些指标评估现状的基础上,总结了应用较普遍的估算公式,对比了不同公式的特点及其适用性.比较结果认为:由于泥石流组成和运动状态的复杂性以及影响因素的多样性,对于这三个指标,目前的估算公式都不具有普适性.在当前的认知水平下,建立基于各个地区泥石流特点的指标估算经验公式是最为实用的途径.在各个指标经验公式的建立方法上,考虑各个粒组的多变量容重统计分析方法相对较为合理;泥石流流速估算公式的建立途径在我国、前苏联和欧美国家之间有显著差异,前二者基于曼宁公式,后者基于强迫涡流公式、以弯道超高为主要参数;泥石流冲击力的估算方法国内外都以动量理论为基础,区别主要体现在经验系数取值上,巨石冲击力的计算则都考虑了拦挡建筑物的特点.     

极端冰雪条件下的顺层岩质边坡滑移稳定性分析

推导了典型岩石边坡在极端冰雪条件下的滑移稳定系数的表达式;通过计算分析,揭示了岩石边坡滑移稳定系数随裂隙内水深、坡高、坡角、滑面倾角等因素变化的规律及与冻深的关系,并绘制岩石边坡滑移稳定系数与边坡几何要素之间的关系图。研究表明,当考虑极端冰雪灾害影响时,岩石边坡滑移稳定系数发生较为明显的变化：随裂隙饱水程度、坡面角、主滑面倾角的增加而降低,随主滑面抗剪强度的减小而降低;裂隙饱水程度越高、坡体高度越低、坡面角越小、主滑面倾角越大的边坡的滑移稳定系数,对裂隙冰冻胀力的反应越敏感。
