Examination of a Correction Procedure for the Flow Attenuation in Orthogonal Sonic Anemometers     

Takanori Shimizu  Masakazu Suzuki  Akira Shimizu 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》1999,93(2):227-236

In this study we examine the calibration of wind speed measured by a sonic anemometer, with an orthogonal probe configuration, with regard to the approximation of the flow angle, and the wind-speed dependence of the flow attenuation attributed to the transducer shadow. The flow angle should be calculated by the iterative method when the attenuation is relatively high. For a probe manufactured by Kaijo Co. TR-61C, the wind-speed dependence of the transducer shadow effect is formulated from the results of the wind-tunnel experiment. Assuming the equation is applicable to field observations, significant errors possibly remain especially when the wind speed is low, and /or the angle between the flow vector and the sonic path is small, if the wind-speed dependence in measurement errors is neglected.  相似文献   

Effects of Turbulence and Flow Inclination on the Performance of Cup Anemometers in the Field

Four commercial and one research cup anemometers were comparatively tested in a complex terrain site to quantify the effects of turbulence and flow inclination on the wind speed measurements. The difference of the mean windspeed reading between the anemometers was as much as 2% for wind directions where the mean flow was horizontal. This difference was large enough to be attributed to the well-known overspeeding effect related to the differing distance constant (ranging from 1.7 to 5 m) of the cup anemometers. The application of a theoretical model of the cup-anemometer behaviour in athree-dimensional turbulent wind field proved successful in explaining theobserved differences.Additional measurements were taken with the anemometers tilted at known angles into and out of the incident wind flow. Thus, a field-derived angular response curve is constructed for each anemometer and the deviations from publishedwind-tunnel results are discussed.The uncertainties of, or false assumptions about, the angular response characteristics of the anemometers contribute the largest amount inthe observed errors of mean wind speed even for a horizontal mean flow. The angular response curves are finally used to correct the 10-min mean windspeed. The necessary information for the correction is the turbulent intensity (preferably in the vertical direction) and the mean flow inclination.For demanding applications, the angular response parameters of cup anemometers should be taken into account. The incorporation of the angular response parameters in a correction scheme would be most robustly applied if their variation with inclination and wind speed was smooth.  相似文献   

A numerical study for effectiveness of a wake equalizing duct     

Fahri elik 《Ocean Engineering》2007,34(16):2138-2145

A numerical study is carried out for calculating effect of the wake equalizing duct (WED) on the propulsion performance of a chemical tanker. Analysis is performed using a CFD tool based on the solution of Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equation. Computations are carried out for several arrangements of WED for a number of ship speeds. Total 56 runs are achieved, and the results are compared with each other. It can be concluded from this study that propeller characteristics and resistance of the ship are slightly affected by the presence of the WED, but an additional thrust is produced by the WED. It is also found that the maximum gain obtained by using an appropriate WED design is about 10%.  相似文献

Effect of waves on cavitation and pressure pulses of a tanker with twin podded propulsion     

《Applied Ocean Research》2017

There is increasing interest in optimizing ships for the actual operating condition rather than just for calm water. In order to optimize the propeller designs for operations in waves, it is essential to study how the propeller performance is affected by operation in waves. The effect of various factors that influence the propeller is quantified in this paper using a 8000 dwt chemical tanker equipped with twin-podded propulsion as a case vessel. Propeller performance in waves in terms of cavitation, pressure pulses, and efficiency is compared with the performance in calm water. The influence of wake variation, ship motions, RPM fluctuations and speed loss is studied. Substantial increase in cavitation and pressure pulses due to wake variation in the presence of waves is found. It is found that the effect of other factors is relatively small and easier to take into account as compared to wake variation. Therefore, considering the wake variation at least in the critical wave condition (where the wavelength is close to ship length) in addition to calm water wake is recommended in order to ensure that the optimized propeller performs well both in calm water and in waves.  相似文献   

An extensive analysis of numerical ship self-propulsion prediction via a coupled BEM/RANS approach     

《Applied Ocean Research》2017

The paper deals with the self-propulsion problem, i.e. the solution of the flow around the hull that advances at uniform speed due to the action of its own propeller. A coupled BEM/RANS approach, previously proposed for a simpler case with only rudder and propeller, has been extensively analysed to highlight the strength and the weakness of the method. The proposed analyses consider the influence of different turbulence modelling, the role of the interpolating algorithm for the inclusion of body forces into the RANS domain, a mesh and simulation time step sensitivity study and the influence of the extrapolation procedure for the definition of the effective wake to the propeller in the light of the lightest and the most affordable computational setup for daily accurate calculations. At first, the well-known Kriso Container Ship (KCS) test case is considered. This ship has been widely investigated in the context of different research projects and a large amount of data (both measurements and numerical calculations) is available to validate the solution approach and to highlight the benefits, as well as the weaknesses, of the proposed coupled BEM/RANS approach versus established but computationally demanding calculations based only on RANS simulations. Once the approach has been developed and validated via the KCS test case, calculations have been repeated in the case of completely different ships, in order to evaluate its general applicability and to test the robustness and the reliability of the proposed procedure.  相似文献
