Experimental uncertainty of a physical model of a tanker moored to a terminal in a port

This paper presents the uncertainty modelling of experimental results for a physical model of a tanker moored to a terminal inside a port. The physical model was built for an oil terminal at the port of Leixões in Portugal. The model incorporates the new modified port layout, as well as a future 300 m extension of the port outer north breakwater to enhance operational conditions. The physical model tests were performed on a scale of 1:80 in the Portuguese Civil Engineering Laboratory (LNEC). A generic mooring system of four mooring lines and two fenders is simulated using a nonlinear spring system. Decay tests are carried out to evaluate the natural periods of the moored model. Then, tests are carried out for the moored model in waves. The major aim of the experimental study is to obtain novel results for the wave elevation and direction at various locations inside the port, the ship motions at six degrees of freedom, and loads on mooring lines and fenders including the modified port layout. As the physical model measurements are subjected to different types of uncertainties, a systematic uncertainty analysis is carried out here, following ITTC guidelines and recommendations, to quantify all possible sources of uncertainties. The results are discussed, and several conclusions are reached. Based on the experimental results, the presented physical model study may replicate the results for waves and motions with uncertainties less than 9% of the significant amplitudes. The assessment of the applied nonlinear spring model reveals load predictions on the moorings, with uncertainties less than 4% of the maximum mooring loads.

弯道抛石护岸水流特征及水毁试验研究

平顺抛石护岸在长江中下游应用最为广泛,能够增强堤岸的抗洪能力,保障中下游广大平原地区和沿江各大中城市的防洪安全。然而,护岸块石常常发生滑落导致护岸破坏。为了解其破坏机理,进行了不同岸坡坡度、不同块石粒径及大小、不同流速等条件下的水槽试验,从块石受力、弯道水流特征、块石位移特征及坍塌特征等方面研究了抛石护岸的水毁,提出了抛石护岸破坏程度的判别指标并给出需要维护的时间点的建议。     

Experimental study on dynamic response of a floating offshore wind turbine under various freak wave profiles

This study performed experimental investigation on the dynamic response of an in-place floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) under freak wave actions. Based on the method of wave profile modulation, various freak wave profiles embedded in unidirectional Gaussian seas were generated in wave basin and the action of these waves on the FOWT was measured and analyzed, which has not been done before. The motions of FOWT were analyzed in time domain as well as time-frequency domain. The effect of freak wave parameters on FOWT motions was addressed, i.e., freak wave height, freak wave period, large crest, and deep trough. The dynamic response of FOWT was observed as a spike at the occurrence of freak wave in a conventional random wave, where the impact of freak wave can last for 17 spectral peak periods of wave. Data analysis shows that the motions of FOWT increased linearly with the freak wave height. In addition, the occurrence of freak wave induced the coupled effect on surge and pith, which was strengthen with the increase of freak wave height and wave period. Compared to a large crest, a deep trough of freak wave led to stronger motions and was supposed to be a key concern on the safety of the FOWT. The novel findings in this study provided a reference for the design of survival load on a FOWT and benchmarks for validating numerical models.

纳米比亚硅藻土的工程特性

在实施纳米比亚某项目的勘察过程中,遇到了一种特殊土——硅藻土。通过X射线衍射试验和热场发射电镜扫描进一步确定了硅藻土的成分组成和微观结构。针对硅藻土的特殊工程性质,现场采取土样进行大量细致的室内土工试验分析,并运用多种原位试验手段,测试硅藻土的原位力学强度。测试结果表明硅藻土的含水量非常高、密度极低、孔隙比大,通过对比发现硅藻土的室内试验剪切强度与通过原位试验获得的原位剪切强度较为一致;但与抗剪强度相比,其抗压强度明显高于抗剪强度。
