Hybrid three-dimensional finite-difference and finite-element analysis of seismic wave induced fluid–structure interaction of a vertical cylinder     

Bang-Fuh Chen 《Ocean Engineering》1998,25(8):639-656

The two-dimensional finite-difference scheme has been extended to three dimensions to solve nonlinear hydrodynamic pressures and structural responses of a deformable, vertical and circular surface-piercing offshore cylinder during earthquakes. A complete three-dimensional analysis has been made with both the three-dimensional equations of motion and the simultaneous action of three components of ground acceleration included in the analysis. Not only the magnitude but also the direction of the acting ground motion can be varied with time. The dynamic response of a cylinder is approximated by the displacements in the fundamental modes of vibration. A comparison of the dynamic displacement of the cylinder with and without surrounding sea water has been made. The flexibility of the offshore cylinder can significantly increase the hydrodynamic pressures acting on cylinder faces, that is, the fluid-structure interaction is necessary in offshore cylinder analysis. Although the hydrodynamic pressure induced by the vertical ground acceleration of the El Centro 1979 earthquake is significant, the calculated structural dynamic response of a cylinder is very small and the corresponding resultant hydrodynamic force is almost nil. The hydrodynamic force induced by two-horizontal ground acceleration is about the same as that by three simultaneous components of ground acceleration. For a solid and stubbier circular cylinder, the vertical component of ground acceleration may be neglected.  相似文献   

Improving hydrodynamic modeling of river networks by incorporating data assimilation using a particle filter     

《国际泥沙研究》2023,38(5):711-723

Numerical modeling is a well-recognized method for studying the hydrodynamic processes in river networks. Multi-source measurements also offer abundant information on the patterns and mechanisms within the processes. Therefore, improving hydrodynamic modeling of river networks through the use of data assimilation techniques has become a hot research topic in recent years. The particle filter (PF) is a commonly used data assimilation method and has been proven to be applicable to various nonlinear and non-Gaussian models. In the current study, an improved numerical hydrodynamic model for large-scale river networks is established by incorporating the advanced PF algorithm. Furthermore, the PF method based on the Gaussian likelihood function (GLF) and the method based on the Cauchy likelihood function (CLF) are compared for a complex river network scenario. The feasibility of the PF-based methods was evaluated through application to the Yangtze-Dongting River-lake Network (YDRN) by assimilating water stage data collected at six hydrometric stations during the entire hydrodynamic process in 2003. Additionally, the parameters used in the likelihood function, which affect the assimilation performance, also were explored in the current study. The study results found that the accuracy of the model-derived water stage data was improved when the PF-based methods are utilized, with improvement not only at the data assimilation (calibration) sites but also at three hydrometric stations not used in the data assimilation (i.e., verification sites). The highest average Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency result for the six assimilation sites were 0.98 while the lowest summed root-mean-square-error result was 1.801 m. The comparison results also indicated that the CLF-based PF outperformed the GLF-based PF when high-accuracy observed data are available. Specifically, the CLF can effectively resolve the filtering failure problem and the dispersion problem of PFs, and further improve the accuracy of the filtering results for a river network scenario. In summary, the CLF-based PF method along with high-accuracy observation data shows promise to provide reliable reference and technical support for hydrodynamic modeling of large-scale river networks.  相似文献

三峡水库自2003年蓄水以来,水库干支流水环境状况及水华已成为广泛关注的问题,国内外不少学者对此开展了大量研究。本文回顾了近20年来三峡水库水环境相关研究,系统总结了三峡水库干支流水动力特征及其生态环境影响,并展望了三峡水库水动力相关研究的新视角、新内容、新方法、新技术。结果表明:(1)三峡水库蓄水后干支流水流分化特征明显,干流水体从上游的河流型水体逐渐转变为坝前的过渡型水体,而支流库湾则更偏向于湖泊型水体特征;(2)干支流密度差(温度差)驱动的分层异重流,水库日调节调度驱动的高频水流振荡,气象驱动的近表层水体混合是三峡水库支流库湾普遍存在的水动力现象,主导着支流库湾的水温分层和混合过程;(3)三峡水库特殊的水动力现象对支流库湾水温分层结构、营养盐输移补给、水华生消过程、温室气体排放等产生深远影响,应用生态调度调控支流库湾水动力过程来改善其水环境问题已成为该区域生态环境修复的重要技术手段。如何将上述新发现上升为具有三峡水库特色的系统理论与方法,并形成大型深水水库生态环境研究技术体系,服务于大型梯级水库群联合多目标优化调度实践,仍是今后努力的方向。  相似文献   

水动力条件对水体富营养化的影响   总被引：6，自引：3，他引：3  

梁培瑜  王烜  马芳冰 《湖泊科学》2013,25(4):455-462

水动力条件是影响水体富营养化状态和进程的主要自然因素.研究水动力条件对水体富营养化的影响对于水体富营养化模拟、预测和控制具有十分重要的意义.水动力条件能直接作用于水华藻类细胞,影响其生长繁殖与种间竞争,同时改变水体环境及营养盐的状况.其中,流速不仅对藻类的生长聚集与分布具有十分明显的影响,同时还能影响水体营养物质与优势藻的种类;流量则主要通过单位时间内水量的变化影响水体富营养化的发生与消亡;水体扰动直接作用于水体中藻类细胞与藻团,加强藻类的聚集,同时影响营养物质的混合与运移,从而使水体富营养化得以发生并持续.本文综述了流速、流量和水体扰动等水动力因子对水体富营养化的影响研究,并对其未来的研究方向进行展望,最后指出:不同水动力条件对营养盐存在形态、藻类生长及水体富营养化状态的影响机理和水动力条件对水体富营养化影响的滞后性规律与临界值研究有待进一步加强.  相似文献   

Computational hydrodynamic analysis of the propeller–rudder and the AZIPOD systems     

Hassan Ghassemi  Parviz Ghadimi 《Ocean Engineering》2008,35(1):117-130

A computational method has been developed to predict the hydrodynamic performance of the propeller–rudder systems (PRS) and azimuthing podded drive (AZIPOD) systems. The method employs a vortex-based lifting theory for the propeller and the potential surface panel method for the steering system. Three propeller models along with three steering systems (rudder and strut, flap and pod (SFP)) are implemented in the present calculations for the cases of uniform and non-uniform conditions. Computed velocity components show good agreement with the experimental measurements behind a propeller with or without the rudder. Calculated thrust, torque and lift also agree well with the experimental results. Computations are also performed for an AZIPOD system in order to obtain the pressure distributions on the SFP, and the hydrodynamic performance (thrust, torque and lift coefficients). The present method is useful for examining the performance of the PRS and AZIPOD systems in the hope of estimating the propulsion and the maneuverability characteristics of the marine vehicles more accurately.  相似文献   

Three-dimensional modeling of tidal circulation and mixing over the Java Sea     

Alan F. Koropitan  Motoyoshi Ikeda 《Journal of Oceanography》2008,64(1):61-80

A combination of a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model and in-situ measurements provides the structures of barotropic tides, tidal circulation and their relationship with turbulent mixing in the Java Sea, which allow us to understand the impact of the tides on material distribution. The model retains high horizontal and vertical resolutions and is forced by the boundary conditions taken from a global model. The measurements are composed of the sea level at coastal stations and currents at moorings embedded in Seawatch buoys, in addition to hydrographic data. The simulated tidal elevations are in good agreement with the data for the K₁ and M₂ constituents. The K₁ tide clearly shows the lowest mode resonance in the Java Sea with intensification around the nodal point in the central region. The M₂ tide is secondary and propagates westward from the eastern open boundary, along with a counterclockwise amphidromic point in the western part. The K₁ tide produces a major component of tidal energy, which flows westward and dissipates through the node region near the Karimata Strait. Meanwhile, the M₂ tide dissipates in the entire Java Sea. However, the residual currents are mainly induced by the M₂ tide, which flows westward following the M₂ tidal wave propagation. The tidal mixing is mainly caused by K₁ tide which peaks at the central region and is consistent with the uniform temperature and salinity along the vertical dimension. This mixing is expected to play an important role in the vertical exchange of nutrients and control of biological productivity.  相似文献   

An unsteady three-dimensional eutrophication model in Tolo harbour, Hong Kong     

Chau KW 《Marine pollution bulletin》2005,51(8-12):1078-1084

The eutrophication phenomenon often leads to undesirable water quality. This paper delineates an unsteady three-dimensional finite difference numerical model for eutrophication dynamics in the coastal waters of Tolo harbour, Hong Kong, employing the numerically generated, boundary-fitted, orthogonal curvilinear grid system as well as a grid “block” technique. It models the transport and interaction of nine water quality constituents. Adjustments of values of some kinetic coefficients in the model are effected through calibration with field data. It is demonstrated that the model can reasonably reproduce the interactions amongst all the water quality constituents, the eutrophication processes and, in particular, the featured bottom water anoxic condition during the summer in Tolo harbour.  相似文献   

Radiation and diffraction of linear water waves by an infinitely long submerged rectangular structure parallel to a vertical wall   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Y.H. Zheng  Y.M. Shen  J. Tang 《Ocean Engineering》2007,34(1):69-82

The radiation and the diffraction of linear water waves by an infinitely long floating rectangular structure submerged in water of finite depth with leeward boundary being a vertical wall are analyzed in this paper by using the method of separation of variables. Analytical expressions for the radiated and diffracted potentials are derived as infinite series with unknown coefficients determined by the eigenfunction expansion matching method. The expressions for wave forces and hydrodynamic coefficients are given. A comparison is made between the results obtained by the present analytical solution and those obtained by the boundary element method. By using the present analytical solution, the hydrodynamic influences of the submergence, the width, the thickness of the structure, and the distance between the structure and the wall on the wave forces and hydrodynamic coefficients are discussed in detail.  相似文献   

Hydrodynamic coefficients of a submerged pulsating sphere in finite depth   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

D. B. S. Lopes  A. J. N. A. Sarmento   《Ocean Engineering》2002,29(11):1391-1398

By extending the work of Linton (Linton, C.M., 1991. Radiation and diffraction of waver waves by a submerged sphere in finite depth. Ocean Engineering 18 (1/2), 61–74), the problem of radiation of water waves by a submerged pulsating sphere in finite depth is formulated using the multipole method. As in Linton (1991), this leads to an infinite system of linear equations, which are easily solved numerically. Simple expressions are derived for the hydrodynamic characteristics of such a body. Results showing the effect of varying both the immersion depth and the water depth on the hydrodynamic coefficients of the pulsating sphere are given. The paper resumes the work presented in Lopes (Lopes, D.B.S., 1999. On the study of the Archimedes wave swing device for wave energy utilization (in Portuguese).

Hydrodynamic shape optimization of thin floating plates     

Christopher J. Damaren   《Ocean Engineering》2007,34(17-18):2231-2239

In this work, the problem of optimizing the shape of a thin floating plate (sometimes called a dock) to maximize radiation damping is investigated. The plate is modeled with zero draft and floats on the surface of an irrotational, incompressible ocean of infinite extent. For simplicity, only rigid heave motions are considered. The flow problem is analyzed using the Chen and Mei variational principle wherein the potential field inside a hemisphere surrounding the plate is represented using a spherical harmonic expansion and matched on the hemisphere to an outer field described by distributing sources on the hemisphere. The plate shape is parameterized using a Fourier series which is suitable for use with the variational principle. Gradients of the damping coefficient with respect to the shape parameters are developed by solving an adjoint flow problem whose potential is shown to be a scalar multiple of the original flow potential. Optimal plate shapes are determined using the well-known optimization code NPSOL which makes use of the damping coefficient calculation and gradients.  相似文献
