两种运动平台下晃荡冲击荷载的实验研究

由液体晃荡引起的冲击荷载主要与外部激励(激励频率和激励幅值)和装载率相关。大尺度物理模型实验通过运动平台在室内复现液舱的运动,进而实现在室内对储液舱内晃荡载荷的研究。因此,平台的运动能力、运动的精确性对液体冲击载荷的实验结果非常关键。为了研究不同类型运动平台的运动性能及其对储液舱内冲击载荷的影响,文中以大比尺二维矩形舱为模型,分别在单自由度运动平台和六自由度运动平台开展系统的液体晃荡冲击实验。实验结果表明:仅考虑水平运动,单自由度平台的精度要高于六自由度平台;在个别工况下,两个平台下冲击荷载时程和特征值的对比结果出现了一定差别,但是晃荡冲击荷载的整体趋势基本一致。通过评价单自由度和六自由度两种类型的运动平台在液体晃荡研究领域应用的适用性,为大尺度室内晃荡模型实验中运动平台的选择提供参考

Long-term approach for assessment of sloshing loads in LNG carrier,part II: Grouping method

Assessing the sloshing loads has been a significant issue in designing the cargo containment system (CCS) of a liquefied natural gas carrier (LNGC). The sloshing problem contains numerous physical and technical uncertainties. The long-term approach has been suggested to reduce the possible uncertainties, but it has not been a feasible option owing to the incalculable number of experimental cases. Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering Co., Ltd., Hyundai Heavy Industry Co., Ltd., Samsung Heavy Industry Co., Ltd., Korean Register, and Seoul National University conducted extensive sloshing model tests for the 174 K S-LNGC. To consider the long-term approach, Part I describes the differences between short- and long-term approaches based on the guidelines of different classification societies. To address the significant number of experimental conditions required for the long-term approach, a grouping method is investigated (Part II). Although this grouping method is typically used in practical design, it has not been validated, and its applicability is yet to be determined. In Part II, the sea states are classified using 16 different grouping methods. The long-term exceedance probabilities and pressures are obtained individually and then compared with the results obtained from fully considering all sea states. After performing the general sloshing model test of the shipbuilding industry, the sloshing impact pressure of a liquefied natural gas cargo model is measured via 6DoF irregular simulations, where the upper section of the cargo hold structure is considered. Long-term pressures are locally and globally investigated and compared among 16 different sea states and all the sea states. Based on the results, the best grouping method is suggested for the long-term approach.     

Structural safety assessment procedure for membrane-type LNG CCS considering hydroelasticity effect

As environmental regulations have become more onerous, the demand for LNG and LNG carriers has increased. The LNG cargo containment system (LNG CCS) is one of the most important facilities in LNG carriers, and many membrane types of LNG CCS have been developed so far. Traditionally, sloshing model tests are performed and a series of statistical approaches are used to obtain design sloshing pressures. Then, these design loads are utilized to analyze the structural safety of LNG CCS. In the sloshing model test, the flat and almost rigid plate is used as the LNG CCS instead of a real model, and thus, the hydroelasticity effect cannot be considered. In the present research, the effect of hydroelasticity on sloshing pressure was investigated in a fluid-structure interaction simulation. A wet drop simulation was conducted, and its results subsequently were compared with wet drop experimental test results to ensure their validity. Then, two types of structure model, namely a flat-rigid plate model and a flat-flexible CCS model, were generated to investigate the effect of hydroelasticity. Also, a fluid hitting analysis model was devised to realize the sloshing phenomenon, and the two generated structure models were applied as the structure domain in the analysis. In the fluid hitting simulations, it was found that the hydroelasticity effect on sloshing pressure is significant. Thus, correction factors, which are quantitative values of the effect of hydroelasticity, were derived (and are proposed herein). Finally, a structural safety assessment procedure for consideration of the hydroelasticity effect was derived (and is suggested herein).

A fully coupled ship motion and sloshing analysis in various container geometries

In the present study a novel modeling approach is presented to solve the combined internal sloshing and sea-keeping problem. The model deals with interesting effects arising due to the coupled interaction between the sloshing in partially filled containers of several geometries and the ship motion. The study is very important for the liquid cargo carrier operating in rough sea or under different environmental conditions. The resulting slosh characteristics that include transient pressure variation, free surface profiles and hydrodynamic pressure over the container walls have been reported in this study. In addition, the effects of coupled ship response and sloshing on ship motion parameters have also been investigated. The equations of motion of fluid, considered inviscid, irrotational, and partially compressible, are expressed in terms of the pressure variable alone. A finite difference-based iterative time-stepping technique is employed to advance the coupled solution in the time domain. Several parameters of interest, including the container parameters, level of liquid, thrusters modeling and some important environmental factors are investigated.     

Long-term approach for assessment of sloshing loads in LNG carrier,Part I: Comparison of Short- and Long-term approaches

To assess the long-term sloshing loads of a liquefied natural gas carrier, Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering Co., Ltd., Hyundai Heavy Industry Co., Ltd, Samsung Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. (SHI), Korean Register, and Seoul National University conducted a series of joint industrial experiments using a six-degree-of-freedom irregular sloshing model test. SHI provides a 174 K S-LNGC and its cargo hold information. To consider the numerous test conditions of the long-term approach, the present study focuses on the upper regions of the cargo hold structure, and feasible operating scenarios are assumed. A total of 3870 h at a real scale are simulated based on 387 sailing conditions. Extensive experimental results of sloshing loads are analyzed based on different guidelines suggested by different maritime classification societies. Part I of this study provides an assessment of sloshing loads based on a comparison of short- and long-term approaches distinguished by the guidelines, and the possible reference values are presented. A practical solution for the long-term approach will be discussed in Part II.     

采用耦合有限元、边界元方法的矩形储液舱中液体晃荡数值仿真(英文)

Sloshing of liquid can increase the dynamic pressure on the storage sidewalls and bottom in tanker ships and LNG careers. Different geometric shapes were suggested for storage tank to minimize the sloshing pressure on tank perimeter. In this research, a numerical code was developed to model liquid sloshing in a rectangular partially filled tank. Assuming the fluid to be inviscid, Laplace equation and nonlinear free surface boundary conditions are solved using coupled FEM-BEM. The code performance for sloshing modeling is validated against available data. To minimize the sloshing pressure on tank perimeter, rectangular tanks with specific volumes and different aspect ratios were investigated and the best aspect ratios were suggested. The results showed that the rectangular tank with suggested aspect ratios, not only has a maximum surrounded tank volume to the constant available volume, but also reduces the sloshing pressure efficiently.     

Comparative assessment of liquid sloshing in dry and wet storage tank of floating offshore platform

In order to explore the characteristics of the single-layer liquid sloshing in offshore dry oil storage tank and the two-layer liquid sloshing in offshore wet oil storage tank, two series of experiments were carried out: one was free surface sloshing in a closed rectangular tank partially filled with colored water, and the other was interfacial sloshing in the identical tank but completely filled with white oil and colored water. The tank was mounted on a shake table and was subjected to harmonic horizontal excitation with different excitation amplitudes and a wide range of excitation frequencies, including the first seven natural modes of single-layer or two-layer liquid system. The present study find that the frequency responses of interfacial sloshing wave are analogous to those of the free surface sloshing wave, but smaller in amplitudes. The experiments also produce results that are unique to the two-layer liquid sloshing. For example, when the external excitation frequency is equal to or close to the odd mode natural frequency of two-layer liquid system, a complicated three-dimensional (3D) gravity-capillary wave might be generated at the oil-water interface. Finally, the comparisons of free surface and interfacial sloshing in the viscous damping ratio, higher sloshing modes, impact pressure amplitude and mass center displacement were conducted, which revealed the superiority of wet storage technology in structural safety and dynamic stability.

以某冷藏集装箱船的薄膜型液化天然气(LNG)燃料舱为例，考虑船舶运动与燃料舱内LNG晃荡的耦合作用，根据势流理论在时域内求解燃料舱内LNG的晃荡压力，将作用在舱壁的晃荡载荷分解为脉冲压力和非脉冲压力。将随时间变化的LNG脉冲压力作为虚拟的附加质量耦合船舶的运动，采用数值模拟的方法分析LNG燃料舱的晃荡压力。结果表明，当燃料舱距离船中较远、重心较高时晃荡压力大幅增加。研究成果对其他类型的LNG燃料舱晃荡压力的计算具有一定的参考意义。

Analytical modelling of ship collision based on full-scale experiments

This paper presents a theoretical model allowing us to predict the consequences of ship–ship collision where large forces arise due to the sloshing in ship ballast tanks. The model considers the inertia forces of the moving bodies, the effects of the surrounding water, the elastic bending of the hull girder of the struck ship, the elasticity of the deformed ship structures and the sloshing effects in partially filled ballast tanks. The study focuses on external dynamics. Internal mechanics, presenting the collision force as a function of penetration, was obtained from experiments. The model was validated with two full-scale collision experiments, one with a significant sloshing effect and the other without it. The comparison of the calculations and the measurements revealed that the model predictions were in good agreement, as the errors at the maximum value of penetration were less than 10%.
