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.      

涡激诱导并列双圆柱碰撞数值模拟研究

圆柱类结构物的涡激振动是工程中较为常见的一种现象,如果圆柱结构物之间的距离较小, 就会产生涡激诱导碰撞现象,而涡激碰撞会比涡激振动对结构物疲劳破坏产生更严重的威胁.采用浸入边界法模拟流体中的动边界问题,避免了传统贴体网格方法在求解流体中存在固体间碰撞问题时出现数值求解不稳定问题,采用有限元方法对圆柱的运动和碰撞进行求解,通过数据回归方法建立了流体流动条件下的润滑模型,对不同间隙比下涡激诱导并列双圆柱振动及碰撞过程进行了数值模拟, 数值结果表明,如果两圆柱产生了碰撞将会有连续的碰撞发生, 碰撞时出现了多阶频率,振动主频率要比无碰撞时大, 两圆柱碰撞时的相对速度比自由来流速度小;当两圆柱相互接近时, 随着涡环分离角度的逐渐倾斜, 横向流体力先逐渐减小,当两圆柱间涡环开始相互影响发生挤压时, 横向流体力开始逐渐增大;当两圆柱开始反弹时, 两圆柱间形成了低压区, 改变了横向流体阻力的方向,使两圆柱又产生了接近运动,如此反复从而产生了碰撞后横向流体力和圆柱速度的振荡现象.      

浅水区海底管道周围海床渗透压力计算研究

关于采用高阶Boussinesq方程求解波浪散射问题的注记

本文讨论了采用高阶Boussinesq方程模拟波浪散射时对基本速度变量位置的局部光滑处理方法。通过光滑局部基本速度变量的取值深度，减小其高阶导数项的量值、加快级数收敛速度进而改善模型方程求解深水波浪散射问题的能力。对于底部边界具有一阶导数不连续的情况，通过局部光滑．可以将基本速度变量取值深度尖角转化为圆角过渡，从而改善速度分布。对于其它任意变化的底部边界，为了减少高阶底坡导数项的影响，在曲率和高阶底坡导数项与斜率具有相同量级的情况下亦需要对基本速度变量的取值深度局部光滑。数值计算结果表明本文提出的光滑技术可以很好地改善Boussinesq方程模拟浅水波和深水波在斜坡地形上散射问题的能力。     

有限深水中骑行波的显式Hamilton描述

小尺度波（扰动波）迭加在大尺度波（未受扰动波）上形成的波动一般之为“骑行波”。研究了有限可变深度的理想不可压缩流体中的骑行波的显式Hamliltn表示，考虑了自由面上流体与空气之间的表面张力。采用自由面高度和自由面上速度势构成的Hamilton正则变量表示骑行波的动能密度，并在未受扰动波的自由面上作一阶展开。运用复变函数论方法处理了二维流动。先用保角变换将物理平面上的流动区域变换到复势平面上的无限长带形区域，然后在复势平面上用Fourier变换解出Laplace方程，最后经Fourier逆变换求出了扰动波速度热所满足的积分方程。作为特例考虑了平坦底部的流动，导出了动能密度的显式表达式。这里给出的积分方程可以替代相当难解的Hamilton正则方程。通过求解积分方程可得出agrange密度的显式表达式。本文提出的方法约研究骑行波的Hamilton描述以及波的相互作用问题提供了新的途径，有助于了解海面的小尺度波的精细结构。     

浅水区海底管道周围海床渗透压力计算研究

An explicit formulation for the evolution of nonlinear surface waves interacting with a submerged body

An explicit formulation to study nonlinear waves interacting with a submerged body in an ideal fluid of infinite depth is presented. The formulation allows one to decompose the nonlinear wave–body interaction problem into body and free‐surface problems. After the decomposition, the body problem satisfies a modified body boundary condition in an unbounded fluid domain, while the free‐surface problem satisfies modified nonlinear free‐surface boundary conditions. It is then shown that the nonlinear free‐surface problem can be further reduced to a closed system of two nonlinear evolution equations expanded in infinite series for the free‐surface elevation and the velocity potential at the free surface. For numerical experiments, the body problem is solved using a distribution of singularities along the body surface and the system of evolution equations, truncated at third order in wave steepness, is then solved using a pseudo‐spectral method based on the fast Fourier transform. A circular cylinder translating steadily near the free surface is considered and it is found that our numerical solutions show excellent agreement with the fully nonlinear solution using a boundary integral method. We further validate our solutions for a submerged circular cylinder oscillating vertically or fixed under incoming nonlinear waves with other analytical and numerical results.

Passage of a supersonic flow over intersecting surfaces

Using the linear formulation, the problem of passage of a supersonic flow over slightly curved intersecting surfaces whose tangent planes form small dihedral angles with the incident flow velocity at every point is considered. Conditions on the surfaces are referred to planes parallel to the incident flow forming angles 0≤γ≤2π at their intersection [1]. The problem reduces to finding the solution of the wave equation for the velocity potential with boundary conditions set on the surfaces flowed over and the leading characteristic surface. The Volterra method is used to find the solution [2]. This method has been applied to the problem of flow over a nonplanar wing [3] and flow around intersecting nonplanar wings forming an angle γ=π/n (n=1, 2, 3, ...) with consideration of the end effect on the wings forming the angle [4]. In [5] the end effect was considered for nonplanar wings with dihedral angle γ=m/nπ. In the general case of an arbitrary angle 0≤γ≤2π the problem of finding the velocity potential reduces to solution of Volterra type integrodifferential equations whose integrands contain singularities [1]. It was shown in [6] that the integrodifferential equations may be solved by the method of successive approximation, and approximate solutions were found differing slightly from the exact solution over the entire range of interaction with the surface and coinciding with the exact solution on the characteristic lines (the boundary of the interaction region, the edge of the dihedral angle). The solution of the problem of flow over intersecting plane wings (the conic case) for an arbitrary angle γ was obtained in terms of elementary functions in [7], which also considered the effect of boundary conditions set on a portion of the leading wave diffraction. In [8, 9] the nonstationary problem of wave diffraction at a plane angle π≤γ≤2π was considered. On the basis of the wave equation solution found in [8], this present study will derive a solution which permits solving the problem of supersonic flow over nonplanar wings forming an arbitrary angle π≤γ≤2π in quadratures. The solutions for flow over nonplanar intersecting surfaces for the cases 0≤γ≤π [6] and π≤γ≤2π, found in the present study, permit calculation of gasdynamic parameters near a wing with a prismatic appendage (fuselage or air intake). The study presents a method for construction of solutions in various zones of wing-air intake interaction.     

Migrating sea ripples

Ripple formation under sea waves is investigated by means of a linear stability analysis of a flat sandy bottom subject to the viscous flow which is present in the boundary layer at the bottom of propagating sea waves. Nonlinear terms in the momentum equation are retained to account for the presence of a steady drift. Hence the work by Blondeaux is extended by considering steeper waves and/or less deep waters. Second order effects in the sea wave steepness are found to cause neither destabilizing nor stabilizing effects on the process of ripple formation. However, because of the presence of a steady velocity component in the direction of wave propagation, ripples are found to migrate at a constant rate which is predicted as function of sediment and wave characteristics. The analysis assumes the flow regime in the bottom boundary layer to be laminar and the results are significant for ripples at the initial stage of their formation or for mature ripples of small amplitude (rolling-grain ripples). A comparison of the theoretical findings with laboratory experiments supports the reliability of the approach and of the theoretical results.     

Regular wave integral approach to numerical simulation of radiation and diffraction of surface waves

A regular wave integral method is developed in the discretisation of a linear hydrodynamic problem on radiation and diffraction of surface waves by a floating or submerged body. The velocity potential of the problem is expressed as a solution of a body boundary integral equation involving the pulsating free surface Green function or pulsating free surface sources distributed on the body surface. With the use of a discretisation on the regular wave integral rather than discretisations on the singular wave integral of the Green function as in earlier investigations, the singular wave integral is approximated as an expansion of regular (or nonirregular) wave potentials. Influence coefficients between pulsating free surface source points are computed by the approximate expansion together with Hess–Smith panel integral formulas. Thus the velocity potential solution is evaluated by a boundary element algorithm. The numerical results produced from the proposed method agree well with semi-analytic solution results.     

Hydrodynamic impact of an elliptic paraboloid on cylindrical waves

The linearized Wagner theory is used to describe the initial stage of the penetration of an elliptic paraboloid on the crest of a regular wave. It is shown that the asymptotic solution for small wave steepness and large enough radii of curvature of the body is obtained from a slight modification of the standard impact problem without a wave. In practice the boundary value problem is formulated for a fictitious elliptic paraboloid: its radii of curvature are modified compared to the actual ones and its kinematics of penetration makes mainly a horizontal velocity appear due to the velocity of the propagating crest.To validate the present approach, an experimental campaign is carried out. The combined choice of the wave parameters and the geometric characteristics of the body leads to a circular expanding wetted surface. The experimental data confirm the theoretical results. Comparisons made for the pressure and the force show a satisfactory agreement.     

A PSEUDOSPECTRAL σ -TRANSFORMATION MODEL OF 2-D NONLINEAR WAVES

A pseudospectral matrix-element method is proposed for the analysis of 2-D nonlinear time-domain free-surface flow problems. The Chebyshev expansion technique established by Ku & Hatziavramidis has been used to discretize the σ-transformed governing equations including nonlinear boundary conditions. Simulations of non overturning transient waves in fixed and base-excited tanks are presented. The results are compared with first-and second-order analytical solutions for sloshing and standing waves, respectively. Excellent agreement is achieved at low values of wave steepness, with the high accuracy due to the close coupling between points. As the wave steepness increases, the influence of higher-order nonlinear components becomes significant, and is modelled by the present scheme. The solution is extremely stable, with the σ-transformation exactly fitting the free-surface boundary, unlike other schemes which have to use free-surface smoothing.     

Numerical simulation of water entry of twin wedges

The hydrodynamic problem of twin wedges entering water vertically at constant speed is analysed based on the velocity potential theory. The gravity effect on the flow is ignored based on the assumption that the ratio of the entry speed to the acceleration due to gravity is much larger than the time scale of interest. The problem is solved using the complex velocity potential together with the boundary element method through three stages. When the body touches water, the similarity solution is obtained for each wedge in isolation. This is used as the initial solution at the second stage for the time stepping technique for each wedge in a stretched system defined through the ratio of the Cartesian system to the distance the wedge travelled into water. When the disturbed zone of each wedge begins to affect the flow generated by the other wedge, the stretched system is abandoned and the original system is used. At the third stage the full interactions between the two wedges are included. Various results are provided for the wave elevation, pressure distribution and force at different deadrise angles. They are compared with those obtained from a single wedge and the interaction effect is investigated.     

蜿蜒边界下平面流的线性流动稳定性

为便于数值分析,蜿蜒河流水动力和演变模型中一般隐性假设二次时均流-二次涡的关系与明渠流时均流-明渠湍流的关系相同,但由于高雷诺数下的DNS算力限制和实验尺度限制,这种隐含假设是否成立目前尚无相关湍流研究来支撑.文章试图通过分析明渠湍流和二次湍流发展初期的研究,侧面揭示其湍流结构的异同.通过对曲线正交坐标系下的平面二维NS方程使用双参数摄动的方法,建立了一种求解蜿蜒边界弱非线性层流的摄动解法,并推导得出一个适用于蜿蜒边界的EOS方程以及其特征值问题的解法.蜿蜒边界下弱非线性层流解为一系列蜿蜒谐波分量的叠加,其中线性部分使得两壁产生流速差,非线性部分随着雷诺数增大呈指数增长.水流的扰动增长率特征谱的第一模态与直道流相似,由3条曲线、4个波段合成,但其长波段和短波段的扰动流场与直道流不同,所有短波段的扰动流速近似于KH涡.蜿蜒边界对内部水流扰动有一定的选择性.偏角幅值越大扰动增长越快;蜿蜒波数的影响则为先增后减,有一个使扰动增长最快的蜿蜒波数.扰动流场由一个典型的TS波和一对波包形式的二次涡叠加而成,波包只有纵向流速分量,包络线由蜿蜒波数控制,波包内是与直道扰动波参数相同的TS波.     

Three‐dimensional vortex simulation of unsteady flow in hydraulic turbines

On the basis of the Helmholtz decomposition, a grid‐free numerical scheme is provided for the solution of unsteady flow in hydraulic turbines. The Lagrangian vortex method is utilized to evaluate the convection and stretch of the vorticity, and the BEM is used to solve the Neumann problem to define the potential flow. The no‐slip boundary condition is satisfied by generating vortex sticks at the solid surface. A semi‐analytical regularization technique is applied to evaluate the singular boundary surface integrals of the potential velocity and its gradients accurately. The fast multipole method was extended to evaluate the velocity and velocity gradients induced by the discretized vortex blobs in the Lagrangian vortex method. The successful simulation for the unsteady flow through a hydraulic turbine's runner has manifested the effectiveness of the proposed method. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Fluid outflow from an orifice in a plane wall in the presence of a variable-strength source on the symmetry plane of flow

The unsteady jet outflow of an ideal incompressible weightless fluid from an orifice in a wall is considered in the presence of a variable-strength point source on the symmetry plane of flow. It is assumed that the velocity of the perturbed flow induced by the change of the source discharge is small compared to the velocity of the steady flow. The Gurevich–Haskind method is used to solve the problem. A boundary value problem for the complex potential of the perturbed flow is formulated and solved. The pressure distribution on hard walls is determined for the harmonic law of the source discharge variation. The evolution of the shape of the jet’s free boundary is studied.
