Three‐dimensional wave impact on a rigid structure using smoothed particle hydrodynamics

Navier–Stokes computations of a wave–structure interaction are performed with the aim of assessing the potential of smoothed particle hydrodynamics to accurately estimate impact loading time history. A three‐dimensional dam‐break flow with a rectangular column located downstream is considered. The net force and impulse exerted on the column is monitored throughout the simulation with the results correlating well with existing experimental data. Initial and boundary conditions and numerical parameters are varied and their effect on the column load investigated. The column load is found to be most sensitive to the choice of boundary treatment. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A new first-principles approach for the catenary

This paper reports on findings relating to catenaries since the publication in Expositiones Mathematicae of Denzler and Hinz’s pioneering 1999 paper, Catenaria Vera – the True Catenary. New governing differential equations and explicit solutions are derived for the catenary in positive and negative radial potentials with physical constants incorporated in the derivations. In keeping with precedent by Denzler and Hinz, a measure of historical perspective is offered as homage to Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, Christiaan Huygens and Johann Bernoulli, the original first-solvers of the catenary.     

梯级溃坝洪水洪峰增强机制

我国在多条河流上修建了大量梯级水库, 梯级坝溃决诱发洪水大大超过单坝溃决洪水洪峰, 因此亟需加深对梯级坝溃决洪水洪峰增强机制的认识. 本文建立了梯级坝溃决洪水演进过程的一维浅水动力学模型, 发展了一套能捕捉激波、干湿边界和保平衡结构的数值求解方法, 通过大量算例, 系统研究了梯级坝溃决洪水演进过程的质量转化和能量转化机制. 研究结果表明, 梯级溃决中, 上游溃决诱发的洪水大大增大下游水库的质量和动量, 形成一个带动量的水塔, 同时在尾部残留一个动量较大的射流, 不断补充下游坝体溃决后水塔的质量和动量, 持续维持洪峰高度. 根据该射流-水塔机制, 建立了梯级坝溃决洪水演进过程对应的射流-水塔单坝溃决洪水过程等效模型, 该等效模型基本反映了梯级坝溃决诱发洪水的洪峰过程, 并成功预测了多个坝间距为百公里量级的梯级坝溃决洪水洪峰高程和流量, 可望为流域防洪和梯级坝设计提供理论依据.      

水下爆炸冲击荷载下混凝土重力坝的抗爆性能

在水下爆炸冲击荷载作用下,结构动力响应较之静态荷载和地震荷载作用下要复杂得多。通过大 量的数值模拟,探讨了混凝土重力坝在水下爆炸冲击荷载作用下,大坝高度、库前水位对大坝抗爆性能的影 响,为大坝抗爆性能评估和防护设计提供基础。数值计算中,构建了重力坝水下爆炸全耦合数值模型,并考虑 爆炸冲击作用下混凝土的高应变率效应。研究结果表明:对于混凝土重力坝,随着大坝高度的增加,大坝的抗 爆性能增强;库前水位对大坝的抗爆性能影响较大,通过降低库前水位可有效提高大坝的抗爆性能。     

水力劈裂问题的态型近场动力学建模

将态型近场动力学理论引入水力劈裂问题的模拟。构建了能反映岩土类材料准脆性断裂特征的态型近场动力学本构模型,并在物质点间相互作用力模型中加入等效水压力项,以实现在新生裂纹面上跟踪施加水压力。同时,考虑裂纹面间的接触,引入物质点间的短程排斥力作用,并设计了相应的接触算法。通过自编程序将模型和算法应用于含初始裂纹、不含初始裂纹以及含坝基软弱结构面的混凝土重力坝在高水头作用下的水力劈裂过程模拟,并与扩展有限元等模拟结果对比,验证了本文模型和算法的可行性和准确性。     

求解带自由面渗流问题移动网格法的改进及其工程应用

采用有限元固定网格和移动网格相结合的方法,求解带自由面的坝体稳定渗流问题。本方法是针对一般坝体的结构,在有限元网格生成之后,又自动生成了网格移动所需的信息,实现了网格在迭代计算中随自由面的变化自动均匀移动;讨论了网格奇异的不同类型,提出了避免单元形状怪异的移动网格方法;在欧拉空间中分区记录坝体不同的渗透性能,在网格移动到新位置后,自动识别网格所在的物性空间,从而确定单元在新位置上的渗流系数。本文将该方法应用到吉林丰满混凝土重力坝防渗加固的实际工程当中,在考虑大坝原有防渗措施的前提下,利用数值分析,研究了防渗芯墙对大坝渗流性能的影响。计算结果表明,加芯墙后坝体自由面位置明显下移,湿水部分大为减少,坝基扬压力没有明显提升,下游出水点位置没有明显下降。计算过程表明,本文方法及措施具有很好的收敛性与稳定性,且收敛性与自由面初始位置的选择无关。     

The limiting distribution for the infinitely deep dam with a Markovian input

The paper outlines a case for taking greater interest in the bottomless, or infinitely deep, dam model in Hydrology. It then shows that for such a model with unit withdrawals and an ergodic Markov chain input process the limiting distribution of depletion, when this exists, is a zero modified geometric distribution. This result generalises the well known result for independent inputs. The technical conditions required for the proof are satisfied for finite state space input processes and are shown to be satisfied by certain infinite state space input processes. These include as special cases examples which have a negative binomial limiting input distribution.     

On the Water Depth in the Breach during a Partial Dam Break

Theoretical and experimental data which make it possible to find the flow-rate, momentum and energy of the fluid that enters the lower pool after a discontinuity breakdown (dam break) in a rectangular channel with an even bottom, a step (sharp downstream rise in the bottom), a shelf (sharp drop in the bottom), and a threshold on the bottom are presented.     

DDA与FEM耦合法在分缝重力坝非线性分析中的应用

混凝土重力坝一般设有数条纵缝。纵缝使坝体的连续性遭到破坏，一般的有限单元法很难处理这样的不连续变形问题。本文首先阐述了DDA(Discontinuous Deformation Analysis)与FEM(Finite Element Method)耦合算法的原理，然后采用作者自行研制的DDA与FEM耦合法程序对一实际重力坝进行了详细的计算分析。重点讨论了纵缝的不同设置形式和缝宽大小对坝体变形和应力分布、坝底面接触应力分布以及坝基面应力分布的影响，为工程设计提供依据。     

水平地震时斜面水坝受到的非线性动水压力的全过程的解析解

本文给出在非线性Ｒａｙｌｅｉｇｈ阻尼作用下，由水平地震激发的水库内动水压力变化全过程的解析解：在激发初期其幅值较小，可用小参数法使控制方程线性化，从而求得各阶渐近控制方程的解析解；当动水压力的幅值增大到小参数展开不适用时，用ｖａｎ ｄｅｒｐｏｌ法求得非线性控制方程的渐近解，从而显示了动水压力的幅值从有序变化到发生突然跳跃的多值性的非线性本质。
