风浪荷载作用下扩底桩基础桩周土应力特征分析

扩底桩基础在承受水平风浪荷载时,基础周围的地基土表现出复杂的应力变化特性。基于有限元程序ABAQUS,针对近海风机单桩基础受力特点,分别建立扩底桩和等直径桩的有限元模型,着重分析扩底桩受风浪荷载时桩周土的应力特征,并对扩底桩和等直径桩桩周土的应力主轴旋转角度规律进行对比分析。结果表明:扩底桩在承受风浪荷载时,上部桩桩周土偏应力和主应力方向角的变化较为明显,扩底段部分桩周土受动荷载的影响较中段更为明显;随着桩周土与扩底桩距离的增加,桩周土主应力方向角旋转幅值逐渐减小,直到减小为一个较为稳定的值;扩底桩桩周土与等直径桩桩周土的主应力方向角旋转幅值变化规律有所不同。     

水平轴潮流能水轮机阵列对区域潮流场影响研究

为考察水轮机阵列对区域潮流特性的影响,本文基于Delft 3D-Flow建立斋堂岛及附近水域的三维水力学模型并通过实测数据进行校验。经验证后的模型,采用TSE方法确定阵列在目标水域中的放置位置,并通过动量损失方式模拟水轮机对流场的影响,进而研究和评估在一定水域面积下不同水轮机数量组成的阵列对潮流场的影响。仿真结果显示:该水域放置水轮机阵列将对附近较大范围水域的水位产生影响,在靠近阵列处水位变化最大能达到3 cm;对区域流速影响较为显著,当阵列中水轮机密度较大时,其尾流影响区域局部时刻流速下降能达到45 cm/s且影响距离可延伸至其下游2 km外。     

带空气透平的后弯管浮式防波堤实验研究

针对海工作业平台、海洋养殖网箱等海洋装备的安全防护问题,提出了一种带空气透平的后弯管浮式防波堤,该空气透平既可将作用在防波堤上的波浪能转化成机械能并用于发电,还可显著减小防波堤的锚链力。在介绍了防波堤原理和结构特点的基础上,设计了物理实验模型,并在实验室造波池内进行了模型试验,研究了波浪周期、波高、吃水深度与弯管数量等因素对后弯管浮式防波堤透射系数和锚链力的影响规律。研究结果表明,波浪周期越短,波高越低,防波堤的透射系数越小,锚 链力越小,其消波性能优于传统的浮式防波堤.     

风浪流中涡激共振对Spar型浮式风机运动响应的影响

以Spar型浮式风机为研究对象,研究涡激力对于浮式风机系统运动的影响。对多体动力学软件FAST进行二次开发,加入涡激力的计算接口,实现了在平台涡激、波激、空气动力载荷及系泊联合作用下的Spar浮式风机系统的运动响应的计算。计算了在风、浪、流联合作用下,频率锁定现象发生时,Spar基础的运动响应,分析了风浪下Spar风机运动响应的涡激运动特性,并研究了不同的入流角度的影响。结果表明:考虑涡激力后,Spar基础的横荡运动明显增大;风浪流同向时,风浪的存在会抑制流载荷引起的横荡在涡泄频率的运动;在流与风浪垂直时,会激发Spar基础的更大的纵荡运动响应。     

A simplified calculation method for axial cyclic degradation of offshore wind turbine foundations in clay

Abstract

Pile foundation is the most popular option for the foundation of offshore wind turbines. The degradation of stiffness and bearing capacity of pile foundation induced by cyclic loading will be harmful for structure safety. In this article, a modified undrained elastic–plastic model considering the cyclic degradation of clay soil is proposed, and a simplified calculation method (SCM) based on shear displacement method is presented to calculate the axial degradated capacity of a single pile foundation for offshore wind turbines resisting cyclic loadings. The conception of plastic zone thickness R_p is introduced to obtain the function between accumulated plastic strain and displacement of soil around pile side. The axial ultimate capacity of single piles under axial cyclic loading calculated by this simplified analysis have a good consistency with the results from the finite element analysis, which verifies the accuracy and reliability of this method. As an instance, the behavior of pile foundation of an offshore wind farm under cyclic load is studied using the proposed numerical method and SCM. This simplified method may provide valuable reference for engineering design.     

考虑二阶波浪荷载效应的海上TLP浮式风机分析

基于多数专业风机数值模拟软件只可进行一阶波浪荷载计算这一缺点,文中将以AQWA为基础,利用其可进行二次开发的技术优势,通过实时调用风机气动荷载,实现海上TLP浮式风机分析。分析中,浮式风机平台一阶、二阶波浪荷载由AQWA计算,实时调用的气动荷载由动态链接库提供。该动态链接库主要包含了根据叶素动量定理自行编译的气动荷载计算程序。经过与FAST比较,得知该方法能满足分析需求。垂荡、纵摇力的二阶效应尤为明显。仅计算浮式风机平台波浪荷载时,可以不考虑风荷载的影响,但必须考虑平台运动的影响,波浪荷载主要受纵荡、纵摇运动影响,几乎不受垂荡运动的影响;当研究浮式风机平台运动时,必须考虑风荷载和二阶波浪荷载的影响,二阶波浪荷载使得平台响应在整个频率范围内都明显增大。张力筋腱张力受二阶波浪荷载的作用更明显。     

Dynamic response of a monopile wind turbine in waves: Experimental uncertainty analysis for validation of numerical tools

The responses of a monopile offshore wind turbine subjected to irregular wave loads are investigated numerically and experimentally, considering a range of sea states. An extensive experimental campaign was carried out on a fully flexible model, representative of a 5 MW offshore wind turbine, at 1:40 scale. An assessment of the experimental results for the response amplitude operator for regular waves and the 90th percentile seabed bending moment in long-crested irregular waves is carried out using two models (analytical and numerical) for uncertainty propagation, suggesting that bias errors in the model properties and in the wave elevation contribute the most to the total uncertainty. The experimental results are also compared to a numerical model using beam elements and Morison-type wave loads with second order wave kinematics. The numerical model does not capture all of the responses within the level of uncertainty of the experiments, and possible reasons for the discrepancies are discussed.     

Dynamic modeling of nylon mooring lines for a floating wind turbine

As current attention of the offshore industry is drawn by developing pilot farms of Floating Wind Turbines (FWTs) in shallow-water between 50m and 100m, the application of nylon as a mooring component can provide a more cost-effective design. Indeed, nylon is a preferred candidate over polyester for FWT mooring mainly because of its lower stiffness and a corresponding capacity of reducing maximum tensions in the mooring system. However, the nonlinear behaviors of nylon ropes (e.g. load-elongation properties, fatigue characteristics, etc.) complicate the design and modeling of such structures. Although previous studies on the mechanical properties and modeling of polyester may be very good references, those can not be applied directly for nylon both on testing and modeling methods. In this study, first, an empirical expression to determine the dynamic stiffness of a nylon rope is drawn from the testing data in the literature. Secondly, a practical modeling procedure is suggested by the authors in order to cope with the numerical mooring analysis for a semi-submersible type FWT taking into account the dynamic axial stiffness of nylon ropes. Both the experimental and numerical results show that the tension amplitude has an important impact on the dynamic stiffness of nylon ropes and, as a consequence, the tension responses of mooring lines. This effect can be captured by the present modeling procedure. Finally, time domain mooring analysis for both Ultimate Limit State (ULS) and Fatigue Limit State (FLS) is performed to illustrate the advantages and conservativeness of the present approach for nylon mooring modeling.
