Surf-riding and oscillations of a ship in quartering waves

The behavior of a ship encountering large regular waves from astern at low frequency is the object of investigation, with a parallel study of surf-riding and periodic motion paterns. First, the theoretical analysis of surf-riding is extended from purely following to quartering seas. Steady-state continuation is used to identify all possible surf-riding states for one wavelength. Examination of stability indicates the existence of stable and unstable states and predicts a new type of oscillatory surf-riding. Global analysis is also applied to determine the areas of state space which lead to surf-riding for a given ship and wave conditions. In the case of overtaking waves, the large rudder-yaw-surge oscillations of the vessel are examined, showing the mechanism and conditions responsible for loss of controllability at certain vessel headings.List of symbols c wave celerity (m/s) - C(p) roll damping moment (Ntm) - g acceleration of gravity (m/s²) - GM metacentric height (m) - H wave height (m) - I _x ,I _z roll and yaw ship moments of inertia (kg m²) - k wave number (m^–1) - K _H ,K _W ,K _R hull reaction, wave, rudder, and propeller - K _p forces in the roll direction (Ntm) - m ship mass (kg) - n propeller rate of rotation (rpm) - N _H ,N _W ,N _R hull reaction, wave, rudder, and propeller - N _P moments in the yaw direction (Ntm) - p roll angular velocity (rad/s) - r rate-of-turn (rad/s) - R(,x) restoring moment (Ntm) - Res(u) ship resistance (Nt) - t time (s) - u surge velocity (m/s) - U vessel speed (m/s) - v sway velocity (m/s) - W ship weight (Nt) - x longitudinal position of the ship measured from the wave system (m) - x _G ,z _G longitudinal and vertical center of gravity (m) - x _S longitudinal position of a ship section (S), in the ship-fixed system (m) - X _H ,X _W ,X _R hull reaction, wave, rudder, and propeller - X _P forces in the surge direction (Nt) - y transverse position of the ship, measured from the wave system (m) - Y _H ,Y _W ,Y _R hull reaction, wave, rudder, and propeller - Y _p forces in the sway direction (Nt) - z _Y vertical position of the point of action of the lateral reaction force during turn (m) - z _W vertical position of the point of action of the lateral wave force (m) Greek symbols angle of drift (rad) - rudder angle (rad) - wavelength (m) - position of the ship in the earth-fixed system (m) - water density (kg/m³) - angle of heel (rad) - heading angle (rad) - _e frequency of encounter (rad/s) Hydrodynamic coefficients K roll added mass - N _v ,N _r yaw acceleration coefficients - N _v N _r N _rr N _rrv ,N _vvr yaw velocity coefficients K.

Simulation on progressive collapse behaviour of whole ship model under extreme waves using idealized structural unit method

To ensure the safety of navigating ship, working loads and structural load-carrying capacity are two important aspects. In the present paper, a total simulation system combing load calculation and structural collapse analysis is applied to simulate progressive collapse behaviour of a single-hull Kamsarmax type bulk carrier. A three dimensional singularity distribution method is adopted to calculate pressure distribution with time history. A mixed structural model, collapse part simulated by ISUM elements and remaining part by elastic FEM elements with relative coarse mesh, is proposed for collapse analysis. Progressive collapse behaviour obtained by ISUM is good agreement with that by nonlinear software package, MARC. However, the calculation time of ISUM analysis is about 1/70 of MARC analysis. The applicability to structure system, high accuracy and sufficient efficiency of ISUM had been demonstrated.     

Tuning of transfer functions for analysis of wave–ship interactions

Transfer functions are often used together with a wave spectrum for analysis of wave–ship interactions, where one application addresses the prediction of wave-induced motions or other types of global responses. This paper presents a simple and practical method which can be used to tune the transfer function of such responses to facilitate improved prediction capability. The input to the method consists of a measured response, i.e. time series sequences from a given sensor, the 2D wave spectrum characterising the seaway in which the measurements are taken, and an initial estimate of the transfer function for the response in study. The paper presents results obtained using data from an in-service container ship. The 2D wave spectra are taken from the ERA5 database, while the transfer function is computed by a simple closed-form expression. The paper shows that the application of the tuned transfer function leads to predictions which are significantly improved compared to using the transfer function without tuning.

As2O3诱导人卵巢癌细胞株HO8910凋亡和端粒酶活性的关系

目的探讨As2O3诱导HO8910细胞凋亡和端粒酶活性变化的关系。方法用不同浓度的As2O3溶液作用卵巢癌细胞株HO8910,于不同时间点收集细胞,MTT法检测细胞生长抑制率;FCM检测细胞凋亡率;TRAP-银染法观察端粒酶活性的变化。结果As2O3溶液对HO8910有生长抑制和诱导凋亡的作用,与药物浓度和作用时间相关。不同浓度As2O3作用HO8910细胞,其端粒酶活性在24h无明显改变,随着作用时间的延长,端粒酶活性逐渐下降,随着药物浓度的升高端粒酶活性也呈不断下降趋势,以致消失。结论As2O3可以诱导卵巢癌细胞株HO8910发生凋亡,其机制可能不是通过端粒酶活性下降直接调控的,但端粒酶调控与凋亡调控有一定相关性。     

ω-3多不饱和脂肪酸对人胃腺癌细胞系AGS的作用

目的探讨ω-3多不饱和脂肪酸对人胃腺癌AGS细胞生长增殖的作用和可能的机制。方法以不同浓度梯度的DHA、EPA作用于体外培养的AGS细胞和人微血管内皮细胞HMEC-1,采用四甲基偶氮唑蓝(MTT)观察细胞增殖抑制率,使用流式细胞仪检测细胞周期变化,采用Western blot分析细胞线粒体呼吸链膜蛋白复合体Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅴ表达变化。结果 DHA和EPA对胃腺癌AGS细胞增殖具有明显抑制作用,该抑制作用呈现明显的剂量时间依赖效应的特点(P<0.05),在相同的浓度梯度下,DHA的抑制作用强于EPA(P<0.05)。倒置显微镜下DHA作用后观察到AGS细胞明显皱缩,细胞的贴壁能力明显减弱。流式细胞仪检测显示,DHA、EPA干预后AGS细胞的DNA合成前期(G0/G1期)细胞分布比例明显增加,DNA合成期(S期)细胞分布比例明显减少(P<0.05)。Western blot分析可见,DHA干预AGS细胞24h和48h后,与对照组比较,AGS线粒体呼吸链膜蛋白复合体Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅴ表达灰度值显著下降,而且随着作用时间延长,复合体表达灰度值下降愈明显(P<0.05)。DHA对人微血管内皮细胞的生长增殖、细胞形态和线粒体呼吸链膜蛋白复合体无明显影响(P>0.05)。结论ω-3多不饱和脂肪酸可选择性有效地抑制人胃腺癌AGS细胞的生长增殖。该作用可能是通过阻滞AGS细胞于G0/G1期和抑制AGS细胞能量代谢来实现的。
