基于非线性吸能机理的涡激振动减振理论与实验研究

流致振动现象广泛存在于机械、航空、土木和石油等重要工程领域, 为防止工程结构因流致振动行为而造成疲劳破坏, 有必要对稳定性、动力学响应及其振动控制做深入研究. 本文提出了一种由弹簧和质量块构成的非线性吸能器(nonlinear targeted energy transfer, NTET), 研究了该非线性吸能器对弹性支承圆柱体涡激振动的被动控制影响机制. 基于能量法推导了圆柱体涡激振动非线性被动控制的耦合动力学方程, 通过设计非线性弹簧?质量块构型的NTET, 进一步开展了涡激振动控制的实验研究, 并与理论预测结果进行了较好的对比, 获得提升涡激振动控制效果的最佳参数值. 研究发现, NTET的质量、弹簧刚度以及弹簧预应力等参数会对涡激振动控制效果产生显著的影响. 本文研究结果表明, 该耦合系统中圆柱体和NTET均表现出周期性的稳态振动响应, NTET质量的改变会显著影响系统的耦合频率. 在无预应力状态下, NTET质量越大、刚度越小时, 有更好的减振效果. 当弹簧预应力逐渐增大时, NTET的非线性刚度逐渐变弱, 会降低涡激振动控制性能. 参数分析表明: 随着涡激振动控制性能的提升, 圆柱体的振幅逐渐较小, NTET的振幅逐渐增大, 能量传递效率逐渐提高. 研究结果可为工程中涡激振动控制策略的高效设计提供有用的理论支撑和实验数据.      

A systematic approach to riser VIV response reconstruction

Vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of long flexible cylindrical structures (e.g. risers, pipelines, tendons, mooring lines) enduring ocean currents is ubiquitous in the offshore industry. Though significant effort has gone into understanding this complicated fluid–structure interaction problem, major challenges remain in modeling and predicting the response of such structures (for example a riser). The work presented in this paper provides a systematic approach to estimate and analyze the vortex-induced motions of a marine riser. A systematic framework is developed, which allows reconstruction of the riser motion from a limited number of sensors placed along its length. A full reconstruction criterion is developed, which classifies when the measurements from the sensors contain all information pertinent to riser VIV response, and when they do not, in which case additional, analytical methods must be employed. Reconstruction methods for both scenarios are developed and applied to experimental data. Finally, a systematic study on the error during the reconstruction is also undertaken. The methods developed in this paper can be applied to: improve understanding of the vortex shedding mechanisms, including the presence of traveling waves and higher-harmonic forces; develop tools for in-situ estimation of fatigue damage on marine risers; and estimate the vortex-induced forces on marine risers.

Monitoring VIV fatigue damage on marine risers

Long flexible cylinders (e.g., risers, tendons and mooring lines) exposed to the marine environment encounter ocean currents leading to vortex-induced vibration (VIV). These oscillations, often driven at high frequencies over extended periods of time, may result in structural failure of the member due to fatigue damage accumulation. Recent developments in instrumentation and installation of data acquisition systems on board marine risers have made accurate measurement of riser responses possible. This paper aims at using the data from these data acquisition devices (typically strain gages and accelerometers) in order to understand the evolution of the riser VIV, with the final aim of estimating the fatigue damage. For this purpose we employ systematic techniques to reconstruct riser VIV response using the data from the available sensors. The reconstructed riser response allows estimation of the dynamic axial stresses due to bending and consequently the estimates of the fatigue damage along the entire riser. The above methods can take into account the fatigue damage arising from complicated riser motions involving the presence of traveling waves even with the use of very few sensors. An alternate approach using a Van der Pol wake oscillator model is also explored to obtain fatigue life estimates caused by riser VIV.     

基于节段模型试验的宽幅箱梁涡振性能气动措施优化

为了研究宽幅流线型箱梁断面的涡振性能,以某跨越长江的大跨悬索桥为背景,进行1∶50节段模型风洞试验。分析了检修轨道、人行道栏杆等涡振敏感构件的影响,研究了改变人行道栏杆形式、附加斜腹板导流板以及风嘴分流板等气动措施的制振效果。研究结果表明,宽幅箱梁涡振性能随来流攻角增大而逐渐变差,且由于漩涡Strouhal数的变化易诱发多区间涡振,扭转涡振幅值随阻尼增加线性衰减显著。人行道栏杆是此类断面的涡振敏感构件,去掉栏杆踢脚石能明显改善涡振性能;斜腹板导流板对改善其涡振性能效果微弱;风嘴分流板具有显著的制振效果,不仅能有效地抑制主梁涡振的发生,且能提高颤振临界风速。     

Optimal lift force coefficient databases from riser experiments

Significant past effort has gone into understanding the complicated flow–structure interaction problem of vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of long flexible cylindrical structures (e.g., risers, mooring lines, tendons, conductors) in the ocean environment. However, major challenges persist with regard to riser VIV modeling and response prediction. The existing prediction schemes are based on a number of hypotheses, experimental facts and data like strip theory, energy balance, correlation length and, most importantly, the use of lift force coefficient databases. Recent advances in observing the VIV motions on experimental risers with high confidence shows that some of these assumptions may not be valid. One important source of the discrepancies between theoretical estimates and experimental observations arise from the use of experimentally obtained lift coefficient databases. These databases were obtained under the laboratory conditions of limited Reynolds number, and under the assumption that the cross-flow motions are not influenced by restraining the in-line motions. In this paper we develop a method to improve the modeling capability of riser VIV by extracting empirical lift coefficient databases from field riser VIV measurements. The existing laboratory-based lift coefficient databases are represented in a flexible parameterized form using a set of carefully chosen parameters. Extraction of the lift coefficient parameters is posed as an optimization problem, where the objective is to minimize the error between the prediction using a theoretical model and the experimental data. Application of the method to data from the Norwegian Deepwater Programme experiments shows that the new optimal databases significantly reduce the error in estimating the riser VIV cross-flow response.     

Experimental study on dynamic response of smooth and straked risers in tandem arrangement coupling interference effect

An experiment was conducted in a combined wave–current water flume on two tandem risers subjected to uniform flow. The riser model has an effective length of 2.0 m. The aspect ratio is 111.11. The upstream riser is smooth and the downstream riser fitted with three-strand helical strakes with pitch 17.5D and height 0.25D. By varying the external flow velocities and spacing ratios, through comparisons with the dynamic response of isolated smooth and isolated straked riser, the paper observe how interference effect impacts the dynamic characteristics and dynamic response of two risers in tandem arrangement, reveal how the suppression efficiency of the three-strand helical strakes responds to spacing ratio and external flow velocity, and explore the wake excitation effect of inter-riser fluids on the downstream riser and their dynamic feedback to the upstream riser. The results show that the dominant frequency of the upstream smooth riser is sensitivity to the change of the spacing ratio is low, and the displacement response is offset or enhanced in different degree due to the difference of the interference efficiency. The downstream straked riser dominates frequency and displacement higher than the isolated straked riser. The wake vortex of the upstream smooth riser acts on the downstream riser, occupying a dominant position in the vibration of the downstream riser. It degrades the vibration suppression efficiency of the three-strand helical strakes: the suppression efficiency is the highest at spacing ratio of 8, being a merely 70.57%. With the increase of the spacing ratio, the CF displacement of the riser gradually decreases, and the IL displacement gradually increases. The interference efficiency partition and suppression efficiency at different spacing ratios reflects the dynamic feedback of the upstream smooth riser is much smaller than the interference effect of the downstream suppression riser.     

基于势流理论的内孤立波与立管作用数值研究

内孤立波是一种发生在水面以下的在世界各个海域广泛存在的大幅波浪, 其剧烈的波面起伏所携带的巨大能量对以海洋立管为代表的海洋结构物产生严重威胁, 分析其传播演化过程的流场特征及立管在内孤立波作用下的动力响应规律对于海洋立管的设计具有重要意义. 本文基于分层流体的非线性势流理论, 采用高效率的多域边界单元法, 建立了内孤立波流场分析计算的数值模型, 可以实时获得内孤立波的流场特征. 根据获得的流场信息, 采用莫里森方程计算内孤立波对海洋立管作用的载荷分布. 将内孤立波流场非线性势流计算模型与动力学有限元模型结合来求解内孤立波作用下海洋立管的动力响应特征, 讨论了内孤立波参数、顶张力大小以及内部流体密度对立管动力响应的影响. 发现随着内孤立波波幅的增大, 海洋立管的流向位移和应力明显增大. 由于上层流体速度明显大于下层, 且在所研究问题中拖曳力远大于惯性力, 因此管道顺流向的最大位移发生在上层区域. 顶张力通过改变几何刚度阵的值进而对立管的响应产生明显影响. 对于弱约束立管, 内部流体的密度对管道的流向位移影响较小.
