Form drag is a major component of bed shear stress associated with tidal flow in the vicinity of an isolated sand bank,Torres Strait,northern Australia     

Michael G. Hughes  Peter T. Harris  Andrew Heap  Mark. A. Hemer 《Continental Shelf Research》2008

Tidal current and elevation data were collected from five oceanographic moorings during October 2004 in Torres Strait, northern Australia, to assess the effects of large bedforms (i.e., sand banks) on the drag coefficient (C_D) used for estimating bed shear stress in complex shallow shelf environments. Ten minute averages of tidal current speed and elevation data were collected for 18 days at an on-bank site (<7 m water depth) and an off-bank site (<10 m). These data were compared to data collected simultaneously from two shelf locations (<11 m) occupied to measure regional tidal behaviour. Overall C_D estimates at the on- and off-bank sites attained 7.0±0.1×10⁻³ and 6.6±0.1×10⁻³, respectively. On-bank C_D estimates also differed between the predominant east–west tidal streams, with easterly directed flows experiencing C_D=7.8±0.18×10⁻³ and westerly directed flows C_D=6.4±0.12×10⁻³. Statistically significant differences between the off-bank and on-bank sites are attributed to the large form drag exerted by the sand banks on the regional tidal currents, and statistically significant differences between the westward and eastward flows is ascribed to bedform asymmetry. Form drag from the large bedforms in Torres Strait comprises up to 65% of the total drag coefficient. When constructing sediment transport models, different C_D estimates must therefore be applied to shelf regions containing steep bedforms compared to regions that do not. Our results extend the limited inventory of seabed drag coefficients for shallow shelf environments, and can be used to improve existing regional seabed mobilisation models, which have direct application to environmental management in Torres Strait.  相似文献   

Experimental analysis of the hydrodynamic force on the net panel in wave     

《Applied Ocean Research》2019

The hydrodynamic force on net panels in waves plays a significant role in the wave-resistant design of net cages in the open sea. To investigate the hydrodynamic force on net panels in waves, a series of experiments about different types of net panels in waves were conducted in a wave flume. The effects of the net solidity, the net material and the knot pattern were experimentally analyzed in this study. A wave force model for the net panel was proposed based on the hydrodynamics of cylinder in waves. The experimental results indicated that the horizontal force on the net panel in waves was larger than the vertical force, and the horizontal force was heavily depended on the KC number; In addition, the horizontal force on the steel net was smaller than that on the nylon net, and the knot pattern had a negligible influence on the hydrodynamic force on the net panel in waves. The model was also compared with existing experimental measurements and previous numerical results. The comparison results indicated that the wave force model could calculate the wave force on the net panel accurately.  相似文献   

On the planing of a flat plate at high Froude numbers in a two-dimensional case     

Y.K. Chung  H.H. Chun   《Ocean Engineering》2008,35(7):646-652

We seek the solution of the planing of a flat plate at high Froude numbers by a perturbation procedure. The angle of attack of the plate is assumed to vary with the speed of the plate in the present study. A harmonic function K is introduced for the solution of the first-order disturbance potential which becomes the Green function in the limiting case when the Froude number tends to infinity. We get the solution of the first-order potential from Green's theorem applied to K and the first-order potential. Then we obtain the asymptotic solutions of the angle of attack α, lift L and drag D as follows: where α1. Here W, L_W, and U are the weight of the plate per unit width, wetted length, and speed of the plate, respectively.  相似文献   

Micro-bubble resistance reduction on a model SES catamaran     

Robert Latorre  Aaron Miller  Richard Philips 《Ocean Engineering》2003,30(17):2297-2309

The concept of micro-bubble ejection is emerging as an attractive method for viscous drag reduction for high speed craft. Most of the drag reduction literature presents results for micro-bubble ejection above/below horizontal surfaces. Nevertheless, modern high-speed hull forms are slender with vertical surfaces. This paper presents results of model tests with micro-bubble ejection to the vertical sides of a high speed model with a non-wetting coating. The coating yielded drag reduction of 4–6% and micro-bubbles with coating reduced overall drag by 4–11%. The local coefficient of friction with micro-bubbles is analyzed and found comparable to vertical flat plate results of [Madavan et al., 1984].  相似文献   

A novel semi-analytical approach for non-uniform vegetated flows     

《Advances in water resources》2014

In this paper a semi-analytical approach is proposed to understand the mechanism by which a non-uniform vegetated flowpasses over a finite thick soil layer covered with grass. The flow region is divided into three layers: a homogenous water layer, a mixed water-grass layer, and a finite thick soil layer (hereafter referred to as the water layer, the grass layer, and the soil layer). The flow of the water layer is governed by the Navier–Stokes equations. Both the grass and soil layers are regarded as porous media and the Biot’s theory of poroelasticity is applied to the porous medium flow. The semi-closed solutions are then obtained by the Runge–Kutta method. The drag force induced by the flow through the grass layer and the flow profiles of three patterns: submerged grass, emergent grass and mixed type are also discussed.  相似文献

Alongshore fluid motions in the swash zone of a sandy and gravel beach     

Martin J. Austin  Gerd Masselink  Paul E. Russell  Ian L. Turner  Chris E. Blenkinsopp 《Coastal Engineering》2011

Field experiments were conducted on a low-gradient, high-energy sandy beach (Truc Vert, France) and a steep, low-energy gravel beach (Slapton, UK) to examine alongshore-directed currents within the swash zone. At Truc Vert, data were collected over 33 tidal cycles with offshore significant wave heights of 1–4 m and periods of 5–12 s. At Slapton data were collected during 12 tides with wave heights of 0.3–1 m and periods of 4–9 s. The swash motion was predominantly at infragravity frequencies at Truc Vert and incident frequencies at Slapton.  相似文献   

Patterns of foliation drag near walls of reoriented dykes     

Sudipta Sengupta 《Journal of Earth System Science》1995,104(3):433-446

Drag patterns of foliation are graphically constructed around very competent dykes under bulk strain of pure shear, simple shear and a combination of pure shear and simple shear. Four different types of drag patterns may be produced, depending on the nature of the bulk deformation and the initial orientations of the dyke and the foliation. The drag pattern can be symmetric or asymmetric, inward curving or outward curving. Both the magnitude and the sense of drag may vary along a dyke wall. A uniform sense of drag develops all along a dyke wall only in certain special situations. The type of foliation drag near a dyke may give us a rough idea of the nature of bulk deformation and the relative orientations of the dyke and the foliation with respect to the bulk strain axes.  相似文献

Submarine debris flow impact on pipelines — Part II: Numerical analysis     

Arash Zakeri  Kaare Høeg  Farrokh Nadim 《Coastal Engineering》2009

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) numerical analysis was employed to analyze the situations tested experimentally, as described in Part I. The methodology and results of the CFD analyses are discussed and compared with the observations made from the experiments. The numerical model performed satisfactorily with regard to obtaining the impact forces exerted on the model pipe as well as simulating the hydroplaning phenomenon and estimating slurry flow heights. The experimental results were combined with the results of the CFD analyses to develop a practical method to compute the drag force caused by a submarine debris flow impact on a pipeline. The CFD analyses provided some insight to the separated region characterization, but the attempt to analyze the vortex shedding phenomenon as observed in the experiments was unsuccessful. Additional studies are required for better understanding of both the separated region characteristics and vortex shedding.  相似文献
