Determination of discharge coefficients for a cross-flooding duct

Cross-flooding ducts are used to equalize asymmetric flooding and, thus, to decrease the heel angle of a ship in an emergency. The present design guidelines for cross-flooding arrangements involve uncertainties associated with the effect of variable structural factors. In this study, scale model experiments were carried out to determine discharge coefficients of a typical cross-duct, with a focus on the effect of structural components such as the girders, stiffeners, and web frame. Flow conditions and configuration of the components were varied in the experiments. The structural stiffeners in the cross-duct were found to notably increase the discharge coefficient whereas the effects of the web frame and the inclination of the duct at an angle of 7° were negligible. The experimentally obtained discharge coefficient values for the cross-duct were considerably lower than the corresponding values computed according to the generally used guidelines of the IMO Resolution MSC.245(83). This indicates that the geometrical properties of the girders in the cross-ducts need to be properly addressed to avoid overestimating the discharge coefficients. Overall, the experimental results formed an indispensable dataset for the validation and further development of CFD approaches.     

Analysis of characteristics of time-frequency correlations between runoff, tidal range and salinity in the Changjiang Estuary

Power spectrum and cross-wavelet transform analysis was adopted to study the time-frequency characteristics and multiscale correlations between runoff, tidal range and salinity in the Changjiang Estuary based on the runoff data collected at the Datong Station, the tidal range measured at the Baozhen Station, and the salinity at the Baogang Station from 2008 to 2009. The variations of the salinity showed significant periodicity at scales of 2-3, 7-8, 14-15 and 26-30 d. The correlation between the salinity and the runoff and the tidal range were found to be significantly related to shock at scales of 5-7, 14-15, 26-30 d and 0.5 a. The correlation between the runoff and the salinity was mainly in the same phase, while the correlation between the tidal range and the salinity was in the antiphase. Different frequency bands were related to different degrees, and their relevance increased as the resonance frequency decreased. In addition, changes of the seasonal runoff were obvious. Specifically, a point of discontinuity was reached in early June with a cycle of 7-8 d, which coincided with the periodicity of plum rains in the Changjiang-Huaihe region. High-frequency changes (8-16 d period) of the salinity corresponded to the time domain in January-April 2008, February-April 2009 and October-December 2009 and exhibited an approximately 0.5 a (184 d) long frequency oscillation. Short-period changes were found to be stronger than long-period changes. Cross-wavelet transforms for the salinity, the runoff and the tidal range revealed local features in the time domain, while the significant levels of different periodic oscillations were observed in the frequency domain. The correlation characteristics of the salinity and the runoff were significant in the 80-90 d frequency domain, indicating that the major impact of the runoff on the salinity was reflected in seasonal changes. The tidal range on the small scale of 14-15 and 30-32 d was more obvious than the runoff.     

爆心距对爆破震动信号频谱的影响分析

结合临沂某一隧洞工程,利用matlab分析软件分析了不同爆心距下的爆破震动信号的频谱变化情况。得出：在爆破中近区,震动信号的主频在垂直方向的分量较水平方向大,随着爆心距的增加地面震动峰值速度的主震方向会由水平方向向垂直方向转化,总体呈衰减趋势,震动主频趋向于低频;在爆破参数和爆区特征类似于本工程的工程爆破现场其中低频震动信号在水平方向上的分量所占能量比例高于垂直分量的能量比例,在距爆源较远的位置也不能忽略爆破震动对建筑结构的影响,尤其是要加强水平方向的抗震设防。

对长江三角洲地区表层土壤Sn含量的空间分布特征进行分析,发现土壤平均含Sn量为8.35mg/kg,远远高于全国A层土壤Sn的背景值2.6mg/kg,表层土壤中Sn空间分布不均匀,呈现由苏锡常、宁镇扬、杭嘉湖、宁绍等经济带增高的趋势。各种沉积环境、土壤类型中Sn的含量也较全国类似或同类沉积环境、土壤类型中Sn的含量高,显示了高背景的特点。人类活动影响强烈区表层土壤中Sn元素富集明显,90.39%的面积区表现出富集的特征,富集系数大于2的强富集区面积占44.03%。另外,Ag、Bi、Hg、P、Pb、Sb、Se、TOC等也与土壤Sn呈相关性,可能与土壤Sn的富集有成因联系。     

求解非稳定对流占优水质模型的非标准Galerkin有限元法

在求解非稳定地下水溶质运移模型时,若对流项占优,则模型表现出双曲方程的特性。针对这种特性,采用非标准Galerkin有限元方法进行求解是解决这类问题的有效途径。分别采用Wavelet-Galer-kin有限元方法、迎风有限元方法和特征有限元方法对强对流溶质运移模型进行了求解,并将其结果与标准Galerkin有限元和解析解进行对比。结果表明:标准Galerkin有限元方法会产生强烈的数值振荡;Wavelet-Galerkin有限元方法的时空定位效果好;迎风有限元方法能够有效降低数值振荡现象,但迎风因子对解的影响较大,而且会带来时间延迟;特征有限元方法能够提高解的精度,故可以认为特征有限元方法是求解强对流地下水溶质运移模型的首选方法。     

Separation of obliquely incident and reflected irregular waves by the Morlet wavelet transform

An existing 2D time-domain method for separating irregular incident and reflected waves by wavelet transform [Ma et al., 2010. A new method for separation of 2D incident and reflected waves by the Morlet wavelet transform. Coastal Eng., 57(6):597–603] is extended to account for obliquely incident irregular waves propagating over sloping bottoms. The linear shoaling and refraction coefficients are adopted to determine the amplitude and phase changes of waves. The optimal central frequency of the Morlet wavelet is determined by the minimum Shannon wavelet entropy. Numerical tests show that the present method can accurately separate waves over horizontal depths. For waves at sloping bottoms, however, the separation errors increase as bottom slope increases and are significant for waves with incident angle larger than π/3.     

An empirical formula for friction coefficient of a perforated wall with vertical slits

The friction coefficient in the permeability parameter of a perforated wall has been estimated on the basis of a best fit between measured and predicted values of such hydrodynamic coefficients as reflection and transmission coefficients. In the present study, an empirical formula for the friction coefficient is proposed in terms of known variables, i.e., the porosity and thickness of the perforated wall and the water depth. This enables direct estimation of the friction coefficient without invoking a best fit procedure. To obtain the empirical formula, hydraulic experiments are carried out, the results of which are used along with other researchers' results. The proposed formula is used to predict the reflection and transmission coefficients of various types of structures including a perforated wall. The concurrence between the experimental data and calculated results is good, verifying the appropriateness of the proposed formula. It is also shown that the proposed formula can be used for irregular waves as well.

风沙流中沙粒拖曳力系数研究

 拖曳力系数是计算风沙流中沙粒受空气阻力的重要参数。考虑实际风沙流中沙粒浓度及沙粒形状,利用FLUENT软件首先计算了不同风速下距地表不同高度处两沙粒的拖曳力系数,给出了影响沙粒拖曳力系数的间距范围,然后计算了真实风沙流中不同高度沙粒拖曳力系数。结果表明,给定风速下拖曳力系数随距地面高度的增加先减小后增加,并将沙粒拖曳力系数拟合成距床面高度的函数,该函数与风速有关。
