The overall performance of pile-restrained flexible floating breakwaters is investigated under the action of linear monochromatic incident waves in the frequency domain. The aforementioned floating breakwaters undergo only vertical structural deflections along their length and are held in place by means of vertical piles. The total number of degrees of freedom equals the six conventional body modes, when the breakwater moves as a rigid body, plus the extra bending modes. These bending modes are introduced to represent the structural deflections of the floating breakwater and are described by the Bernoulli–Euler flexible beam equation. The number of bending modes introduced is determined through an appropriate iterative procedure. The hydrostatic coefficients corresponding to the bending modes are also derived. The numerical analysis of the flexible floating breakwaters is based on a three-dimensional hydrodynamic formulation of the floating body. A parametric study is carried out for a wide range of structural stiffness parameters and wave headings, to investigate their effect on the performance of flexible floating breakwaters. Moreover, this performance is compared with that of the corresponding pile-restrained rigid floating breakwater. Results indicated that the degree of structural stiffness and the wave heading strongly affect the performance of flexible floating breakwaters. The existence of an “optimum” value of structural stiffness is demonstrated for the entire wave frequency range. 相似文献

Real sea conditions are characterized by multidirectional sea waves. However, the prediction of hull load responses in oblique waves is a difficult problem due to numeral divergence. This paper focuses on the investigation of numerical and experimental methods of load responses of ultra-large vessels in oblique regular waves. A three dimensional nonlinear hydroelastic method is proposed. In order to numerically solve the divergence problem of time-domain motion equations in oblique waves, a proportional, integral and derivative (PID) autopilot model is applied. A tank model measurement methodology is used to conduct experiments for hydroelastic responses of a large container ship in oblique regular waves. To implement the tests, a segmented ship model and oblique wave testing system are designed and assembled. Then a series of tests corresponding to various wave headings are carried out to investigate the vibrational characteristics of the model. Finally, time-domain numerical simulations of the ship are carried out. The numerical analysis results by the presented method show good agreement with experimental results. 相似文献

An influence of sea-bottom topography on the hydroelastic response of a Very Large Floating Structure (VLFS) is considered. When the floating structure is constructed near the shore, the sea-bottom topographical effect should be considered. In this study, the effect of sea-bottom topography is investigated for four different bottom cases. To calculate the sea-bottom effects rigorously, the finite-element method based on the variational formulation is used in the fluid domain. The pontoon-type floating structure is modeled as the Kirchhoff plate. The mode superposition method is adopted for the hydroelastic behavior of the floating structure. 相似文献

Surface-Piercing Propellers (SPPs) are the preferred propulsion system for light to moderately loaded high-speed applications due to the high fuel efficiency. For highly loaded applications, the efficiency of SPPs tends to decrease because of the limited submerged blade area and the presence of large suction side cavities. Moreover, it is a challenge to design large-scale SPPs that can maintain reliable fatigue strength and avoid vibration issues while maximizing the propeller thrust for a given power input. In this work, three SPP designs are presented for different size Surface Effect Ships (SESs) that can attain a maximum advance speed of 25.72 m/s (50 knots). A previously developed and validated three-dimensional (3-D) coupled boundary element method-finite element method (BEM-FEM) is used for the transient hydroelastic analysis of SPPs. The method is validated by comparing the predicted hydrodynamic performance with those obtained using a vortex-lattice method (VLM) and a Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) solver. The hydrodynamic and structural dynamic performance of the SPPs are presented. Finally, challenges associated with the design related analyzes of large-scale SPPs are discussed. 相似文献

In this paper a hydroelastic method for the design of marine structures is used to study the impact of a wedge-shaped body onto a calm free-surface. The method combines computational fluid dynamics and dynamic finite-element techniques to predict the hydroelastic response of a structure in the time domain. The basic idea of the method is to predict the stress field on the fluid-structure interface due to rigid-body impact, and then to transfer the information to a wet modal model. The one-way transfer of information from the fluid simulation to the structure has two important advantages with respect to a fully coupled simulation: a single rigid-body motion computation can be reused for subsequent analyses after the structure has been redesigned, and cost of the fluid dynamic simulation is not increased due to iteration which is required in coupled simulations. The maximum displacement of an elastic wedge during the impact and penetration stages are compared with published results from a fully coupled theoretical model and a fully coupled numerical solver. The present method requires approximation of the flexural added mass, and the comparison with other results shows that the approximation is satisfactory for predicting maximum displacement. 相似文献

The linear time-dependent motion of a floating elastic or rigid body, subject to some initial displacement, which subsequently evolves freely is considered. The solution is derived by a Fourier transform and by the generalized eigenfunction method. Compared to other solutions, such as the Cummins method, the present solution requires neither time-stepping nor high-frequency calculations. A series of new identities for the frequency-domain problem are also presented. The Fourier transform solution allows an approximate solution to be calculated by an expansion over the complex resonances known as the singularity expansion method. Simple expressions for the singularity expansion method approximation are given. The method is illustrated with a series of numerical calculations. 相似文献

The radiation and diffraction problems are considered in the frequency domain for a thin elastic plate of rectangular planform floating in an irrotational, incompressible ocean of infinite depth. The inner potential field inside a hemisphere surrounding the plate is represented using a spherical harmonic expansion which suits the geometry and zero-draft nature of the plate. Problems associated with distributing sources in the free surface are avoided. The Chen and Mei variational principle is used to weakly match this inner solution and its normal derivative to an outer field described by distributing sources on the exterior of the hemisphere. The validity of the procedure is first illustrated by considering a heaving circular disk. Numerous hydrodynamic coefficients are presented as benchmark data for floating flexible structures. The transient motion of the plate is simulated using rational approximations (in the frequency domain) to the radiation impedance and diffraction mapping which are implemented as ODE's in the time domain. 相似文献

A new hybrid method for the time-domain nonlinear simulation of the hydroelastic load effects and the peak over threshold (POT) method for the calculation of the short-term extreme responses are briefly described and applied to a flexible SL-7 class containership and a flexible liquefied natural gas (LNG) ship. Three stiffness levels, three stiffness distributions and three modal damping ratios are used to study the influence of the hull flexibility and structural damping on the short-term prediction of extreme vertical hydroelastic load effects. The results give justification for some simplified treatment of the first vertical flexible mode in early design stage when structural details are not available. 相似文献

Second-order springing on an elastic body with forward speed is analyzed by numerical simulations. The boundary-value problem for the velocity potential is solved by means of the direct time-domain higher-order boundary element method (HOBEM). The free-surface boundary condition in the boundary-value problem is approximated on the mean surface up to second order by use of perturbation and Taylor-series expansion methods. The body boundary condition for an elastic body is derived with various quantities which are redefined in the generalized mode. These variables such as mode shape, normal vector, etc. are obtained by using directional derivative and continuum mechanics, and the same mathematical expressions are used to obtain several second-order generalized forces. To validate the numerical results, the second-order hydrodynamic force on the bottom-mounted rigid/elastic cylinders without forward speed is compared with other semi-analytic results. The property of second-order forces on an elastic ship is studied by changing the flexural rigidity and forward speed with elastic response. It is confirmed that the second-order velocity potential is important for a body with forward speed and investigation should be made more on numerical methods for accurate computation of the second-order velocity-potential force with forward speed. 相似文献

By integration of the second-order fluid pressure over the instantaneous wetted surface, the generalized first- and second-order fluid forces used in nonlinear hydroelastic analysis are obtained. The expressions for coefficients of the generalized first- and second-order hydrodynamic forces in irregular waves are also given. The coefficients of the restoring forces of a mooring system acting on a flexible floating body are presented. The linear and nonlinear three-dimensional hydroelastic equations of motion of a moored floating body in frequency domain are established. These equations include the second-order forces, induced by the rigid body rotations of large amplitudes in high waves, the variation of the instantaneous wetted surface and the coupling of the first order wave potentials. The first-order and second-order principal coordinates of the hydrelastic vibration of a moored floating body are calculated. The frequency characteristics of the principal coordinates are discussed. The numerical results indicate that the rigid resonance and the coupling resonance of a moored floating body can occur in low frequency domain while the flexible resonance can occur in high frequency domain. The hydroelastic responses of a moored box-type barge are also given in this paper. The effects of the second-order forces on the modes are investigated in detail. 相似文献
