Analysis of Responses of Floating Dual Pontoon Structure

A numerical model is developed by use of the boundary integral equation method to investigate the responses of a two-dimensional floating structure.The structure under consideration consisting of two pontoons,is connected by a rigid framework,and linked to the sea floor by a mooring system.The theoretical conception is based on potential theory with linear external forces,and applied to an arbitrarily shaped body and water depth.The discussion includes the influence of draft and space between pontoons on the responses of the floating structure.Finally,the validity of the method is adequately verified by experimental results.     

GIS-based stochastic modeling of physical accessibility using GPS-based floating car data and Monte Carlo simulation

The term physical accessibility has long been used by geographers, economists, and urban planners and reflects the relative ease of access to/from several urban/rural services by considering the traveling costs. Numerous accessibility measures, ranging from simple to sophisticated, can be observed in the geographical information systems (GIS)-based accessibility modeling literature. However, these measures are generally calculated from a constant catchment boundary (a most likely or average catchment boundary) based on constant deterministic transportation costs. This is one of the fundamental shortcomings of the current GIS-based accessibility modeling and creates uncertainty about the accuracy and reliability of the accessibility measures, especially when highly variable speeds in road segments are considered. The development of a new stochastic approach by using global positioning system (GPS)-based floating car data and Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) technique could enable handling the variations in transportation costs in a probabilistic manner and help to consider all possible catchment boundaries, instead of one average catchment boundary, in accessibility modeling process. Therefore, this article proposes a stochastic methodology for GIS-based accessibility modeling by using GPS-based floating car data and MCS technique. The proposed methodology is illustrated with a case study on medical emergency service accessibility in Eskisehir, Turkey. Moreover, deterministic and stochastic accessibility models are compared to demonstrate the differences between the models. The proposed model could provide better decision support for the decision-makers who are supposed to deal with accessibility, location/allocation, and service/catchment area related issues.     

The regional types of China’s floating population: Identification methods and spatial patterns

With the rapid increase of the number and influence of floating population in China, it is urgently needed to understand the regional types of China’s floating population and their spatial characteristics. After reviewing the current methods for identifying regional types of floating population, this paper puts forward a new composite-index identification method and its modification version which is consisted of two indexes of the net migration rate and gross migration rate. Then, the traditional single-index and the new composite-index identification methods are empirically tested to explore their spatial patterns and characteristics by using China’s 2000 census data at county level. The results show: (1) The composite-index identification method is much better than traditional single-index method because it can measure the migration direction and scale of floating simultaneously, and in particular it can identify the unique regional types of floating population with large scale of immigration and emigration. (2) The modified composite-index identification method, by using the share of a region’s certain type of floating population to the total in China as weights, can effectively correct the over- or under-estimated errors due to the rather large or small total population of a region. (3) The spatial patterns of different regional types of China’s floating population are closely related to the regional differentiation of their natural environment, population density and socio- economic development level. The three active regional types of floating population are mainly located in the eastern part of China with lower elevation, more than 800 mm precipitation, rather higher population densities and economic development levels.

垂荡板对浮式风机水动—气动耦合性能影响研究

随着风电产业向深远海发展,浮式风机已经成为海上风机未来的发展趋势.由于复杂的风浪联合环境载荷作用,浮式风机作业时通常会产生大幅度的运动响应,这一方面会使得浮式风机系统受到的水动力载荷更加复杂,另一方面会影响浮式风机的输出功率.因此,如何有效地抑制浮式风机系统的运动响应就成为了设计的关键.基于非稳态致动线模型和两相流求解器naoeFOAM-SJTU,进行了带垂荡板的浮式风机耦合性能研究.首先在OC3-Hywind Spar平台上附加垂荡板,并结合NREL-5 MW风力机建立带垂荡板的浮式风机模型.其次对比不同形状的垂荡板对Spar-5 MW型浮式风机气动—水动耦合结果,分析相同风浪联合作用条件下垂荡板形状对浮式风机耦合响应的影响.研究结果表明:垂荡板能够减小纵荡和垂荡等运动响应幅值,但是对纵摇运动响应影响较小;当垂荡板直径和吃水位置相同时,相同风浪条件下圆形垂荡板能使浮式风机的气动平均功率增大约0.844％,而正方形垂荡板却使平均功率减小1.492％,这说明圆形垂荡板对浮式风机系统的作用效果整体而言优于正方形.     

云南抚仙湖鱼类资源现状与变化

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。

干旱区平原水库具有水面积大、蒸发强烈等特点,采用直径100 mm的配重浮球来抑制平原水库的无效蒸发。以月为时间尺度,分别从浮球间孔隙造成的蒸发损失率和风浪环境中配重浮球湿润表面造成的蒸发损失率进行研究,最终建立浮球覆盖下水面蒸发抑制率和节水率计算模型。结果表明：（1） 非冰冻期内,浮球间孔隙造成的蒸发损失率呈现先增大后减小,在7月达到全年最高值11.6%;冰冻期内（12月和1月）,浮球间孔隙造成的蒸发损失率达到全年最低值9%。（2） 相同覆盖面积下,浮球润湿率随风速的增大呈曲线增长,且覆盖面积越大,润湿率随风速的变化速率越慢。相同风速下,浮球润湿率随覆盖面积的增大呈直线下降。各覆盖面积下,单位面积节水率在7月达到最大值,分别为76.6%、78.1%、79.6%、81.2%;在4月达到最低值,分别为51.9%、54.0%、58.2%、61.3%。综上所述,配重浮球在风浪环境中稳定性好、防蒸发节水率高,是一种较为理想的防蒸发材料。
