Multiple sub-array beamspace CAATI algorithm for multi-beam bathymetry system

This paper extends CAATI (Computed Angle-of-Arrival Transient Imaging) technique of Multi-angle Swath Bathymetry Sidescan Sonar (MSBSS) into Multi-Beam Bathymetry Sonar (MBBS) and presents a new Multiple Sub-array Beamspace-CAATI (MSB-CAATI) algorithm. The method not only can achieve high resolution seafloor mapping in the whole wide swath, but also can work well in complex acoustic environments or geometries. Simulation results and processing results of sea-experiment data prove the validity and superiority of the algorithm.     

Time-domain,shallow-water hydroelastic analysis of VLFS elastically connected to the seabed

In order to ensure the safe operation of a VLFS, a combination of mooring, breakwater and other motion reducing systems is employed. In the present work, the transient hydroelastic response of a floating, thin elastic plate, elastically connected to the seabed, is examined. The plate is modelled as an Euler-Bernoulli strip, while the linearized shallow water equations are used for the hydrodynamic modelling. Elastic connectors are approximated by a series of simple spring-dashpot systems positioned along the strip. A higher order finite element scheme is employed for the calculation of the hydroelastic response of the strip-connector configuration over the shallow bathymetry. After the definition of the initial-boundary value problem, its variational form is derived and discussed. Next, on the basis of the aforementioned formulation, an energy balance expression is obtained. The effect of variable bathymetry on the response of a two connector-strip system is examined by means of three seabed profiles featuring a flat bottom, an upslope and a downslope environment. For the flat bottom case, the strip response mitigating effect exerted by the employment of two and three elastic connectors is considered. Finally, by means of the derived energy balance equation, the energy exchange is monitored, providing a valuable insight into the transient phenomena that take place in the studied configurations.

琼州海峡隧道盾构对接冻土帷幕受力状态力学分析

采用三维有限元的方法对冻结法在盾构对接施工地层加固中所形成的冻土帷幕的应力状态和变形进行分析与安全评价,分别探讨单排管与双排管2种不同冻结方案的情况。对于盾构对接施工中刀盘拆除情况进行了模拟,分别选取圆周方向上一次性拆除不同长度的刀盘,研究其对冻土帷幕应力强度、径向变形和主应力的影响。研究结果表明,利用冻结法加固盾构对接是可行的;双排管冻结方案相比单排管冻结方案,安全性上有很大提高;圆周方向一次性拆除刀盘的长度对冻土帷幕的各个指标影响较大。 利用计算结果,可为盾构对接施工时冻结法地层加固提供参考依据。     

洋山深水港进港航道人工开挖段回淤特征

为保障洋山深水港的正常运营,近年来进港航道每年都会开展维护性疏浚。基于2017—2019年期间的水深资料,统计分析了航道人工开挖段的浅区分布与回淤特征。结果表明:在常风天航道回淤呈现"春夏冲淤基本平衡且局部冲刷,秋冬淤积为主"的季节变化规律;台风天航道回淤较为明显,淤积程度主要与台风风力和移动路径有关。结合水文资料初步探讨了航道回淤原因,为洋山进港航道今后的疏浚施工安排提供技术支撑。

Application of modified multiple subarrays detection method to multibeam bathymetry system

1 INTRODUCTIONBathymetry is the measurement of depths of waterin oceans, seas, rivers and lakes. Multibeam sonarsare one of the presently major equipments to collect ba-thymetric data, whose working principle is to estimatethe DOA(direction of arrival) and TOA(time of arri-val) of echo from each footprint on the bottom, andthen to get the depth.The echo from near-normal incident angle isstrong and short, and centralizes on the beam axes.The DOA estimation of echo from each footprint is…     

Seasonal upwelling underneath the Tsushima Warm Current along the Japanese shelf slope

Seasonal upwelling variations are examined in the eastward coastal boundary branches of the Tsushima Warm Current (TWC). The climatological pattern and the fundamental hydrographic structure of the seasonal appearance of cold water are revealed by analyzing the temperature profile data around the Japanese shelf area. Seasonal maps of temperature at the intermediate layer around 200 m depth show the rise of the main pycnocline along the Japanese coast due to seasonal subsurface cooling from May to September. The cold water areas appear around the strong curvature in the continental shelf break. These areas are confined to the south of the TWC thermal front, i.e., to the coastal boundary region. The seasonal appearance of the localized cooling areas implies that the seasonal upwelling is induced by horizontal variations in shelf topography and the intensifying TWC from May to September.
