数值波浪水槽在半圆堤波浪力计算中的应用

以N-S方程为控制方程,以k-ε模型为紊动封闭模型,采用VOF方法重构自由表面,建立了垂向二维数值波浪水槽。模拟了规则波与半圆堤的作用过程,结果表明,单点数模波压力过程与物模实测结果符合良好。研究中发现,数模计算中若堤后计算区域设置过短,堤上越浪可以引起堤后水量累积和水位上升现象,从而造成堤身背浪面压强总体增大,由此算得的防波堤总水平波浪力最大值偏小16%~20%。提出了将堤后计算区域延长到4~5倍波长的办法,计算结果表明,堤身背浪面压强上升及堤身总水平力下降现象基本消失。     

A second order volume of fluid （VOF） scheme for numerical simulation of 2-D breaking waves

Among all environmental forces acting on ocean structures and marine vessels, those resulting from wave impacts are likely to yield the highest loads. Being highly nonlinear, transient and complex, a theoretical analysis of their impact would be impossible without numerical simulations. In this paper, a pressure-split two-stage numerical algorithm is proposed based on Volume Of Fluid (VOF) methodology. The algorithm is characterized by introduction of two pressures at each half and full cycle time step, and thus it is a second-order accurate algorithm in time. A simplified second-order Godunov-type solver is used for the continuity equations. The method is applied to simulation of breaking waves in a 2-D water tank, and a qualitative comparison with experimental photo observations is made. Quite consistent results are observed between simulations and experiments. Commercially available software and Boundary Integral Method (BIM) have also been used to simulate the same problem. The results from present code and BIM are in good agreement with respect to breaking location and timing, while the results obtained from the commercial software which is only first-order accurate in time has clearly showed a temporal and spatial lag, verifying the need to use a higher order numerical scheme.

文章针对弹性支撑结构作用下的液舱晃荡问题,采用基于Hilber-Hughes-Taylor(HHT)格式的隐式直接积分法求解液舱运动,应用VOF法求解流体晃荡,并结合部分单元参数的概念处理棱形液舱边界,建立了液舱运动与流体晃荡双向耦合迭代算法。以独立液舱为研究对象,通过耦合求解弹性支撑液舱晃荡,并与非弹性支撑液舱晃荡进行比较,分析了在不同刚度的弹性支撑结构作用下液舱液体运动及晃荡载荷的变化规律。该文建立的分析方法为含弹性支撑的独立液舱晃荡载荷预报提供了一种快速、有效的分析手段。     

Assessment of the volume of fluid method for free-surface wave flow

This study was concerned with the free-surface wave flow around a surface-piercing foil. The volume of fluid method implemented in a Navier–Stokes computational fluid dynamics code was employed. Three widely used discretization schemes for the volume of fluid method were assessed for a test case that involved general ship waves, spilling breaking waves in front of the leading edge, and bubbly free surfaces in separated regions. A single computational approach was selected for the comparison, and a grid-dependence study was carried out. The computational results were validated against existing experimental data, showing good agreement. The validation results suggest that all three discretization schemes perform well, but the best and most efficient results were obtained using the high-resolution interface capturing scheme.

拖航工况下半潜平台撑杆波浪砰击敏感性研究

半潜式平台在拖行过程撑杆等细长结构承受的波浪砰击对结构安全影响较大，相关船级社规范中明确要求结构分析过程中需要考虑波浪砰击载荷。基于传统势流理论的数值方法已经被广泛的应用于浮式海洋平台的水动力和砰击载荷的研究，但是对于复杂的粘性干涉效应、波浪爬升、波浪破碎和波浪砰击等实际工程问题不能够运用势流理论准确模拟。非定常的计算流体力学CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics)方法能够较为准确解决上述问题。因此，本文以982半潜式海洋平台为研究对象，采用计算流体力学中的动态重叠网格方法和流域体积域方法VOF(volume of fluid)，结合水池物理模型试验结果，对平台在拖行工况下撑杆的波浪砰击进行研究。主要对半潜平台撑杆在三种不同流速和风速的拖航工况下撑杆受到的砰击压力的敏感性进行了分析研究，分析波浪砰击下撑杆的瞬态砰击压强分布情况，得到波浪砰击压力危险区域，同时给出拖航工况下撑杆砰击压力系数的变化规律，为分析预报半潜式平台撑杆在复杂的拖航海况下受到的砰击压力提供了参考。

CFD simulation of the vertical motion characteristics of the moonpool fluid for the truss spar

The research purpose of this paper is to estimate theimpacts of the parameters of the guide plate on the vertical motioncharacteristics of the moonpool fluid. With the volume of fluid（VOF） method, three-dimensional models of the moonpool fluidmotions of the truss spar platform are established. Simulationresults are then presented for the moonpool forced oscillation byemploying the dynamic mesh method and user-defined functions inFLUENT. The motions of the moonpool fluid and the loads on theguide plates are obtained for both cases of square-ring andcrisscross. The results show that the shape and area of the guideplate at the bottom of the moonpool have a significant impact onthe physical parameters of the moonpool, including the load on themoonpool guide plate, motion form of the moonpool fluid and themass flow rate.
