Sand banks around straits are used as a commercial fishing ground. In order to clarify the mechanism of sand bank formation, the Lagrangian method was used to measure currents and turbidity around the banks in the Neko Seto Sea in the Seto Inland Sea of Japan. A neutrally buoyant float released in the Neko Seto Strait at the maximum tidal flow stage was engulfed in a pair of tidal vortices and moved around one of the sand banks. The vertical distribution of turbidity, which was measured by the vessel moving with the neutral float, showed an extremely high turbidity in the bottom layer of this bank area. According to the analysis of these observational data, the process of sand bank formation around straits is as follows. The tidal vortex transports water mass with suspended materials (including sand) which are whirled up at the bottom by the tidal jet. In the decaying stage of the vortex, the materials in the bottom layer are gathered in the central part of the vortex by the secondary convergent flow in the vortex. Among these materials, a large-size sand particle with a high critical erosion velocity accumulates at the bottom and forms banks. The distribution of bottom sediment and the thickness of alluvium support this result.  相似文献

A method is suggested for simulating axisymmetric laminar or turbulent flows formed during the motion of a vortex-ring bunch of given geometry and circulation toward a plane screen. Earlier, similar problems were simulated with the numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations for laminar flows. Turbulent flows have remained unconsidered until now. When a vortex ring approaches the screen, the secondary nonstationary flow is induced near the screen’s surface and this secondary flow causes the formation of the radial boundary layer (provided that air viscosity is taken into account). First, the medium spreads out from the critical point at the screen’s center with the negative pressure gradient along the radial coordinate and then detaches in the region of the positive pressure gradient. This radial wall flow and the corresponding boundary layer are considered in the quasi-stationary approximation. When the boundary layer detaches at successive instances, the flow is replenished with the radially moving secondary vortex rings whose circulations have the sign opposite to that of the circulation of the primary vortex ring. It is the interaction of the primary and secondary vortices that governs process dynamics, which differs substantially from that in the case when the formation of secondary vortices is disregarded. The suggested method is based on the method of discrete vortices (a perfect liquid) and the boundary-layer (laminar or turbulent) theory. During the development of the flow under investigation, the nonstationary ascending flow in the direction perpendicular to the screen’s plane is formed and then this flow decays and dissipates. Simulations for large Reynolds numbers corresponding to the formation of the turbulent boundary layer show that the velocity of ascending vortices in the plane of the initial vortex bunch is less than one-tenth of the initial velocity of the descending vortex ring. The boundary layer is introduced into calculations with the sole goal of determining the parameters of the secondary vortex rings formed during boundary-layer detachments. The interaction of the primary and secondary vortices is then considered within the framework of a perfect medium. Simulations for large Reynolds numbers corresponding to the formation of the turbulent boundary layer on the screen were correlated with the available data obtained in laboratory experiments for small Reynolds numbers. Qualitative agreement between the simulations and experiments is fairly satisfactory. The simulation for one combination of the circulation and vortex-ring geometry takes at most 10–15 min with the use of an average PC.  相似文献

The role of the ‘tidal vortex’ in the mechanism of generation of tidal residual circulation is investigated for a bay with a narrow entrance channel. It is shown that the circulation of residual flow is produced not by the vorticity of the inflowing sidewall-boundary layer, but by a tidal vortex formed by rolling up of the discontinuity surface released from the flow separation point at the entrance. This tidal vortex is affected by the circulation of the inflowing water, that is the inflowing tidal vortex. A returning tidal vortex formed in the bay diminishes the circulation of the tidal vortex of the next generation, while the inflowing tidal vortex formed in the open sea increases it. These cases correspond to tidal vortex life-histories of type-II and type-III, respectively (Kashiwai, 1984a). Tidal vortices of each life-history type have different strength and produce residual circulation of different strength, corresponding to each type. The ratio of kinetic energy of residual flow to that of the tidal current through the bay entrance, that is to say the energy gain of the residual circulation, is proportional to the reciprocal of the Strouhal number, and its rate of increase depends on the life-history type of the tidal vortex. This explains the experimental observation reported by Oonishi (1977) and Yanagi (1978) that the energy ratio of residual flow to tidal flow increases with the Reynolds number not monotonously but goes through a maximum and a minimum at intermediate Reynolds number.  相似文献

基于Fluent流体计算平台,运用大涡模拟方法对亚临界雷诺数Re=3900下“X”形排列五圆柱体结构群三维绕流特性进行研究,主要分析来流攻角α与间距比L/D两个关键参数对五圆柱体结构群的尾流区三维涡结构演化与流体力系数的影响,并揭示其内在流动互扰机理。研究表明:来流攻角和间距比的变化对五圆柱体结构群流动控制及互扰效应的影响显著。在小间距比工况下,观察到柱体群间隙区域内流体高速流动的现象,导致五圆柱体之间的互扰作用十分强烈。间隙流对中间圆柱体和下游圆柱体有较强的冲击作用,对其表面的流体力分布特性有显著的影响。另外,大间距比工况下,当α=0°与L/D≥5.0工况时,柱体群尾流效应强于其间隙流效应。当α=22.5°与L/D=7.0时,位于下游与中间处的圆柱体流体绕流特性存在较大差异。而当α=45°与L/D≥6.0时,位于上游与中间处的圆柱体尾流区均会产生正负交替的漩涡结构。  相似文献

Tidal residual circulation produced by a tidal vortex   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
“TIDAL VORTEX” is a term for a kind of starting vortex formed as a pair of vortices at the head of a tidal jet emanating from a narrow entrance into a bay. In this study, its formation and movement have been investigated by means of a hydraulic experiment and an analytical model. A tidal vortex is formed as a result of flow separation at the abrupt widening of a channel entrance followed by rolling up of the discontinuity surface around its free end. The vortex shows three types of life-history (type I, II and III), which are characterized by the Strouhal number and the aspect ratio of the horizontal shape of the entrance channel. In the case of type-I, the tidal vortex proceeds toward the inner region of the bay and there amalgamates with successive vortex cores into a core of tidal residual circulation. In the case of type-II, the tidal vortex core flows out into the entrance channel on the ebb but returns back into the bay on the subsequent flood. And, in the case of type-III, the tidal vortex core which was formed on the bay-side opening of the entrance channel flows out to the open sea and never comes back, whereas the core which was formed on the open-sea side of the entrance flows into the bay and never flows out. The circulation of a tidal vortex core is proportional to the reciprocal of the Strouhal number. The movement of the core near the bay entrance is determined by interaction between the cores and transportation due to the irrotational component of the tidal current. There are three types of tidal residual circulation, corresponding to three life-history types of tidal vortices. In the case of type-I, a strong tidal residual circulation is formed, but in type-II a small and weak circulation is formed. While, in type-III, the circulation having an inverse sense of rotation to that of type-I is formed.  相似文献

The formation of flow-backing large vortex braids in a head dam-break wave running over the washed-out soil is revealed experimentally. Vortex dipoles braiding together with the captured soil are formed in the viscous near-bottom layer. Ascending and descending dipoles twist, forming a large near-bottom braid which rises to the water surface and forms a wall consisting of water and soil. The braids hold large soil particles if the flow velocity exceeds the critical value.  相似文献

The present article presents a nonlinear analysis for determining the three-dimensional unsteady potential-flow characteristics about a wing subject to wing-in-ground effect (WIG) operating above progressive water waves. By means of the time-domain Green's function for the three-dimensional dipole moving above the free surface satisfying the dynamic and kinematic boundary conditions on the mean free surface, the influence of the free surface on the vortex ring is considered. Then, the nonlinear unsteady lifting surface theory is developed to study the lifting problem for a three-dimensional wing operating above progressive water waves. Furthermore, the roll-up shed from the wing in the presence of a free surface and water waves is taken into account. With the computed results, the non-dimensional force coefficients (including the lift coefficient, induced drag coefficient and lift-to-drag ratio) are presented with the variation of different geometry and water wave parameters. The data reported in the literature are presented to validate the present approach.  相似文献

Compact zero-mass pulsatile jet actuators are proposed for low-speed maneuvering and station keeping of small underwater vehicles.1 The flow field of such jets are initially dominated by vortex ring formation. Pinched-off vortices characterize the extremum impulse accumulated by the leading vortex ring in a vortex ring formation process. Relevant parameters in this process are identified in order to design simple and low cost zero-mass pulsatile jet actuators. Thrust optimization of synthetic jets for maximal thrust generation is achieved by enforcing the jet formation number to be around 4. Prototypes of such actuators are built and tested for underwater maneuvering and propulsion. The actuators could be used in two ways: (i) to improve the low-speed maneuvering and station keeping capabilities of traditional propeller driven underwater vehicles, and (ii) as a synthetic jet for flow control and drag reduction at higher cruising speeds. A model for calculating the rotation rate of the underwater vehicle is also proposed and verified.  相似文献

This study presents a piecewise model for determining the vertical distance and velocity evolution with time for a sphere impacting a water surface and submerging to depths beyond deep-seal cavity pinch-off. Experimental data taken with a high-speed camera are presented for varying sphere mass ratios and impact velocities. The semi-empirical model incorporates results from previously published research and is shown to be in good agreement with experiments for heavier spheres but deviates when the sphere is only slightly denser than water. Two causes for the deviation are presented which relate to the dynamics of the cavity pinch-off event and the inception of a trailing vortex ring after the trailing cavity sloughs from the sphere. A model for predicting cavity pinch-off time and sphere position and velocity at the moment of cavity pinch-off is shown to agree well with experimental results for varying sphere mass ratios and impact velocities. The key experimental values are provided for comparison with current and future modeling efforts.  相似文献

Abstract

Various modified direct shear tests on the interface between calcareous sand and steel with different degrees of roughness were conducted in this article, and the different interface property results between calcareous sand-steel and siliceous sand-steel were compared. It was found that: (1) Under various normal stresses, the limit shear stress at the interface reaches the peak value when the groove depth is at the critical value Rcr. Further, when the flat width is at a critical value Gcr, the limit interface shear stress reaches to that of a grooved surface with a flat width of zero. (2) The magnitudes of Rcr and Gcr are related to the gradation and grain size of sand. For the calcareous sand tested, Rcr and Gcr are three times and seven times the mean grain size, respectively. (3) When the intersection angle between the symmetrical V-shaped grooves and the direct shear direction equals to 45°, the limit interface shear stress reaches the peak value and no significant increase is observed at the larger intersection angle. (4) Under the same interface testing conditions with siliceous and calcareous sands, the interface friction angle of the calcareous sand is ~5°–6° greater than that of siliceous sand.  相似文献

The instantaneous turbulent velocity field produced by a broken solitary wave propagating on a 1 in 50 plane slope was measured in the longitudinal transverse plane in the middle part of the water column and near the bottom using a stereoscopic particle image velocimetry system. These measurements showed that large-scale turbulence first arrived in the form of a downburst of turbulent fluid. In the middle of the water column, the downbursts arrived shortly after the wave crest had passed. Each downburst was accompanied by two counter-rotating vortices. The latter grew rapidly in size to become a prominent feature of the flow field. Each vortex had a typical length scale of 1/2 to 1 water depth, and carried most of the turbulent kinetic energy in the region between the vortices. Near the bottom, the counter-rotating vortices were not as well defined and covered only a small plane area compared to the entire flow structure. The turbulent fluid descending from above diverged at the bed and the resulting flow structure developed an elongated shape as the source of down-flow travelled onshore with the broken wave. It was found that the transverse spacing between adjacent downbursts ranged from 2 to 5 times the local still water depth. Since vortices cannot end in the interior of the fluid, the counter-rotating vortices must extend to the free surface in the form of a vortex loop. It was suggested that these vortex loops were produced by bending and stretching of primary vorticity generated in the wave breaking process, possibly as a result of three-dimensional water surface deformation. The vortex loops were then carried downward by the falling water from the broken wave.  相似文献

Recent chirp seismic reflection data combined with multibeam bathymetry, backscatter, and analysis of grab samples and short cores provide evidence of significant recent erosion on the outer New Jersey shelf. The timing of erosion is constrained by two factors: (1) truncation at the seafloor of what is interpreted to be the transgressive ravinement surface at the base of the surficial sand sheet, and (2) truncation of apparently moribund sand ridges along erosional swales oriented parallel to the primary direction of modern bottom flow and oblique to the strike of the sand ridges. These observations place the erosion in a marine setting, post-dating the passage of the shoreface ravinement and the evolution of sand ridges that form initially in the near shore environment. Also truncated by marine erosion are shallowly buried, fluvial channel systems, formed during the Last Glacial Maximum and filled during the transgression, and a regional reflector “R” that is > ∼ 40 kyr. Depths of erosion range from a few meters to > 10 m. The seafloor within eroded areas is often marked by “ribbon” morphology, seen primarily in the backscatter data as areas of alternating high and low backscatter elongated in the direction of primary bottom flow. Ribbons are more occasionally observed in the bathymetry; where observed, crests exhibit low backscatter and troughs exhibit high backscatter. Sampling reveals that the high backscatter areas of the ribbons consist of a trimodal admixture of mud, sand and shell hash, with a bimodal distribution of abraded and unabraded sand grains and microfauna. The shell hash is interpreted to be an erosional lag, while the muds and unabraded grains are, in this non-depositional environment, evidence of recent erosion at the seafloor of previously undisturbed strata. The lower-backscatter areas of the ribbon morphology were found to be a well-sorted medium sand unit only a few 10's of cm thick overlying the shelly/muddy/sandy material. Concentrations of well-rounded gravels and cobbles were also found in eroded areas with very high backscatter, and at least one of these appears to be derived from the base of an eroded fluvial channel. Seafloor reworking over the transgressive evolution of the shelf appears to have switched from sand ridge evolution, which is documented to ∼ 40 m water depth, to more strictly erosional modification at greater water depths. We suggest that this change may be related to the reduction with water depth in the effectiveness of sediment resuspension by waves. Resuspension is a critical factor in the grain size sorting during transport by bottom currents over large bedforms like sand ridges. Otherwise, we speculate, displacement of sand by unidirectional currents will erode the seafloor.  相似文献
