However, the influences of splitter plates on the VIV and aerostatic performances are more complicated due to aerodynamic interference between highway and railway decks. To study the effects of splitter plates, wind tunnel experiments for measuring VIV and aerostatic forces of twin decks under two opposite flow directions were conducted, while the surrounding flow and wind pressure of static twin decks with and without splitter plates are numerically simulated. The results showed that the incoming flow direction affects the VIV response and aerostatic coefficients. The highway deck has poor vertical and torsional VIV, and the VIV region and amplitude are different under different directions. While the railway deck only has vertical VIV when located upstream. The splitter plates can impede the process of vortex generation, shedding and impinging at the gap between twin deck, and significantly reducing the surface fluctuating pressure coefficient, thus effectively suppressing the VIV of twin decks. While, the splitter plates hurt the upstream deck regarding static wind stability and have little effect on the downstream deck. The splitter plates of appropriate width are recommended to improve VIV performances in twin parallel bridges.展开更多

Specifically, for the simplified case of constant stratospheric N^(2), the refractive index square of planetary waves has a theoretical tendency to increase first and then decrease with an increased N^(2), whereas the group velocity weakens. Mechanistically, this behavior can be understood as an intensified suppression of vertical isentropic surface displacement caused by meridional heat transport of planetary waves under strong N^(2) conditions. Observational analysis corroborates this finding, demonstrating a reduction in the vertical-propagation velocity of waves with increased N^(2). A linear, quasi- geostrophic, mid-latitude beta-plane model with a constant background westerly wind and a prescribed N^(2) applicable to the stratosphere is used to obtain analytic solutions. In this model, the planetary waves are initiated by steady energy influx from the lower boundary. The analysis indicates that under strong N^(2) conditions, the amplitude of planetary waves can be sufficiently increased by the effective energy convergence due to the slowing vertical energy transfer, resulting in a streamfunction response in this model that contains more energy. For N^(2) with a quasi-linear vertical variation, the results bear a resemblance to the constant case, except that the wave amplitude and oscillating frequency show some vertical variations.展开更多

文摘An improved three-dimensional(3D)time-domain couple model is established in this paper to simulate the bidirectional vortex-induced vibration(VIV)of a deepwater steep wave riser(SWR)subjected to oblique currents.In this model,the nonlinear motion equations of the riser are established in the global coordinate system based on the slender rod theory with the finite element method.Van der Pol equations are used to describe the lift forces induced by the x-and y-direction current components,respectively.The coupled equations at each time step are solved by a Newmark-βiterative scheme for the SWR VIV.The present model is verified by comparison with the published experimental results for a top-tension riser.Then,a series of simulations are executed to determine the influences of the oblique angle/velocity of the current,different top-end positions and the length of the buoyancy segment on the VIV displacement,oscillating frequency as well as hydrodynamic coefficients of the SWR.The results demonstrate that there exists a coupled resonant VIV corresponding to x-direction and y-direction,respectively.However,the effective frequency is almost identical between the vibrations at the hang-off segment along x and y directions.The addition of the buoyancy modules in the middle of the SWR has a beneficial impact on the lift force of three segments and simultaneously limits the VIV response,especially at the decline segment and the hang-off segments.Additionally,the incident current direction significantly affects the motion trajectory of the SWR which mainly includes the fusiform and rectangle shapes.

文摘The position deviation of the underwater manipulator generated by vortex-induced vibration(VIV)in the shear flow increases relative to that in the uniform flow.Thus,this study established an experimental platform to investigate the vibration characteristics of the underwater manipulator under shear flow.The vibration response along the manipulator was obtained and compared with that in the uniform flow.Results indicated that the velocity,test height,and flow field were the main factors affecting the VIV of the underwater manipulator.With the increase in the reduced velocity(U_(r)),the dimensionless amplitudes increased rapidly in the in-line(IL)direction with a maximum of 0.13D.The vibration responses in the cross-flow(CF)and IL directions were concentrated at positions 2,3 and positions 1,2,with peak values of 0.46 and 0.54 mm under U_(r)=1.54,respectively.In addition,the vibration frequency increased with the reduction of velocity.The dimensionless dominant frequency in the CF and IL directions varied from 0.39-0.80 and 0.35-0.64,respectively.Moreover,the ratio of the CF and IL directions was close to 1 at a lower U_(r).The standard deviation of displacement initially increased and then decreased as the height of the test location increased.The single peak value of the standard deviation showed that VIV presented a single mode.Compared with the uniform flow,the maximum and average values of VIV displacement increased by 104%and 110%under the shear flow,respectively.

文摘Deepwater drilling riser is the key equipment connecting the subsea wellhead and floating drilling platform.Due to complex marine environment,vortex-induced vibration(ViV)will be generated on riser,which will induce fatigue failure and even cause unpredictable drilling accidents.Therefore,it is important to study the ViV characteristics of deepwater drilling riser and reveal the main controlling factors for ensuring the safe and efficient operation of deepwater drilling engineering.In this paper,the ViV of deepwater drilling riser is numerically simulated in time domain based on the discrete vortex method(DvM).A hydrodynamic analysis model and governing equation of VIV is proposed with considering the effect of riser motion using DVM and slice method,where the governing equation is solved by Runge-Kutta method.Model validation is performed,which verified the correctness and accuracy of the mechanical model and the solution method.On this basis,the influence of the number of control points,current velocity,riser outer diameter,shear flow and top tension on the ViV characteristics of deepwater drilling risers are discussed in detail.The results show that with the increase of current velocity,the vibration amplitude of deepwater drilling riser decreases obviously,while the vibration frequency increases gradually.However,if the outer diameter of riser increases,the vibration amplitude increases,while the vibration frequency decreases gradually.The top tension also has great influence on the VIV of riser.When the top tension is 1.25 G,the VIV is suppressed to a certain extent.This study has guiding significance for optimal design and engineering control of deepwater drilling riser.

文摘Traditional Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD)simulations are computationally expensive when applied to complex fluid–structure interaction problems and often struggle to capture the essential flow features governing vortex-induced vibrations(VIV)of floating structures.To overcome these limitations,this study develops a hybrid framework that integrates high-fidelity CFD modeling with deep learning techniques to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of VIV response prediction.First,an unstructured finite-volume fluid–structure coupling model is established to generate high-resolution flow field data and extract multi-component time-series feature tensors.These tensors serve as inputs to a Squeeze-and-Excitation Convolutional Neural Network(SE-CNN),which models the nonlinear coupling between flow disturbances and structural responses.The SE-CNN architecture incorporates an attention-based weighting mechanism through an embedded Squeeze-and-Excitation module,dynamically optimizing channel feature importance and improving sensitivity to critical flow characteristics.During training,multidimensional inputs,including pressure,velocity gradient,and displacement sequences,are used to capture the full complexity of fluid–structure interactions.Results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves a maximum amplitude prediction error of only 2.9%and a main frequency deviation below 0.03 Hz,outperforming conventional CNN models by reducing amplitude prediction error from 3.2%to 1.9%.The approach is validated using a representative semi-submersible platform,confirming its robustness across varying damping conditions and flow velocities.

文摘Installing the splitter plates is a passive aerodynamic solution for eliminating vortex-induced vibration (VIV). However, the influences of splitter plates on the VIV and aerostatic performances are more complicated due to aerodynamic interference between highway and railway decks. To study the effects of splitter plates, wind tunnel experiments for measuring VIV and aerostatic forces of twin decks under two opposite flow directions were conducted, while the surrounding flow and wind pressure of static twin decks with and without splitter plates are numerically simulated. The results showed that the incoming flow direction affects the VIV response and aerostatic coefficients. The highway deck has poor vertical and torsional VIV, and the VIV region and amplitude are different under different directions. While the railway deck only has vertical VIV when located upstream. The splitter plates can impede the process of vortex generation, shedding and impinging at the gap between twin deck, and significantly reducing the surface fluctuating pressure coefficient, thus effectively suppressing the VIV of twin decks. While, the splitter plates hurt the upstream deck regarding static wind stability and have little effect on the downstream deck. The splitter plates of appropriate width are recommended to improve VIV performances in twin parallel bridges.

文摘Vortex-induced vibration of hydrofoils is concerned with structural safety and noise level in hydraulic machinery and marine engineering.The research on vibration characteristics under different operating conditions is significant.In this study,numerical simulations are conducted to investigate the vortex-induced vibration responses of an elastically suspended hydrofoil with blunt trailing edge in pitch direction.The work studies the effects of four parameters,namely the structural natural frequency,mass ratio,initial attack angle,and Reynolds number on vibration characteristics,with special emphasis on frequency lock-in.Results indicate that as the structural natural frequency changes,the vibration amplitude may increase substantially within a certain frequency range,in which the vortex shedding frequency locks into the structural natural frequency,and frequency lock-in occurs.In addition,with increasing the mass ratio,the frequency range of lock-in becomes narrower,and both the upper and lower thresholds decrease.As the initial attack angle increases from 0◦to 6◦,the lock-in range gets reduced.Over the three Reynolds numbers(6×10^(5),9×10^(5),and 12×10^(5)),the lock-in range remains virtually unchanged.Moreover,for a certain structural natural frequency,modifying the mass ratio,initial attack angle,and Reynolds number could effectively suppress the vibration amplitude.

文摘Current active and passive noise reduction methods heavily rely on factors such as material properties,structural design,and weight,with noise cancellation processes primarily focused on gaseous,liquid,and solid states.In this study,we propose a novel theoretical model for modulating incident noise using ionic acoustic waves generated by corona discharge in the plasma state.These ionic acoustic waves are produced through the combined effects of thermal pressure from plasma ions and electrostatic forces arising from charge separation.Plasma-acoustic wave modulation based on negative corona discharge alters the dielectric field within the ionization region by influencing the motion of charged ions and electrons,thereby affecting the acoustic wave propagation process.Specifically,the generated ionic acoustic waves interfere with incident noise waves,leading to noise reduction.By adjusting the applied voltage,electrode gap,and discharge position in a needle-plate discharge configuration,the frequency,phase,and amplitude of the ionic acoustic waves can be precisely controlled,thereby modifying the interference outcomes.Theoretical verification demonstrates that tailored ionic acoustic waves effectively cancel incident noise within the 1-1000 Hz and 1000-2000 Hz frequency ranges.This work confirms the robustness of plasma-based corona discharge for future acoustic wave modulation applications and provides a theoretical foundation for developing“plasma-state noise reduction”acoustic functional devices.

文摘Strong seismic excitation and fault dislocation are likely to occur simultaneously in high-intensity seismic zones,causing severe damage to tunnels crossing active fault zones.This paper aims to develop a novel analytical solution to determine the longitudinal mechanical responses of tunnels subjected to the combined effects of seismic waves and strike-slip faulting.Adopting the elastic springbeam model,the seismic waves are modelled as shear horizontal(SH)waves and the fault dislocation follows an S-shaped pattern;the superposition principle for free-fielddisplacements caused by both effects is assumed.In addition,the transmission and reflectionof seismic waves at the fault-rock geological interface and the tangential contact conditions at the tunnel-rock interface are considered.The analytical model is validated against numerical simulations,confirmingits accuracy in calculating tunnel responses.Moreover,a parametric study is conducted to evaluate the impact of key factors,including fault displacement,fault zone width,fault dip angle,earthquake frequency,rock conditions,tunnel lining stiffness,and tangential contact conditions,on tunnel responses.Compared with each effect alone,the combined effects of seismic waves and strike-slip faulting significantlychange the tunnel deformation and internal forces,leading to increased tunnel responses,especially within the fault zone and near the fault-rock interfaces.Depending on specificparameters,tunnel responses can be classifiedinto seismic-dominated,faulting-dominated,and seismic-faulting coupled responses on the basis of the relative contributions of each effect.The proposed analytical solution can be applied to quickly predict the longitudinal mechanical behaviour of tunnels under such combined effects in engineering applications.

文摘The damage evolution of polycrystalline Al with helium(He)bubbles under strongly decaying shock waves is studied by molecular dynamics simulations.A new damage region is observed near the loading side of the sample,and the evolution characteristics and underlying mechanisms are elucidated.The development of damage in the new damage region begins after complete unloading of the incident shock wave and is further enhanced when the tensile stress arrives later.The damage evolution is completely controlled by the expansion-merging of He bubbles,without nucleation–growth of voids.This new damage region can be divided into two sections,each of which exhibits a unique dominant mechanism.The damage in the section closer to the loading side is due to the reverse velocity gradient formed after complete unloading of the incident shock wave,depending on the rate of decrease and the amplitude of the initial peak pressure.A high initial peak pressure that can lead to melting of material near the loading side is a necessary condition for the formation of the new damage region,since a significant reverse velocity gradient can only be established if melting occurs.The dominant mechanism in the section distant from the loading side is the action of tensile stress,associated with the profile of the incident shock wave upon reaching the free surface,which determines the material phase near the free surface.Moreover,the presence of He bubbles is another critical factor for formation of the new damage region,which does not occur in pure Al samples.

文摘Offshore structures are constantly subjected to the complex forces of the marine environment,including wind,sea waves,currents,and seismic loadings.Among these,wind and sea wave forces persist throughout the structure’s lifetime.This study proposes a dynamic analysis approach that incorporates both time and frequency domain methods to investigate the structural responses of offshore structures under the combined effects of wind and wave forces.A wind wave-pier coupling dynamic model is first developed using a small-scale single pier,with corresponding dynamic equilibrium equations established.Fluctuating wind and sea waves are simulated using the weighted amplitude wave superposition(WAWS)method and linear superposition,respectively.Wind and wave load histories are then derived via Fourier transforms.The structural dynamic responses under different loading scenarios(wind only,wave only,and combined wind and wave)are analyzed using the Newmarkβmethod.Additionally,the effects of varying wind and wave parameters on structural responses are evaluated.The simulation results demonstrate that the structural responses to wind-wave coupling are smaller than the superimposed effects of wind and wave forces acting independently.When wind speeds are relatively low,wave forces dominate structural displacement and serve as the primary source of vibration.

文摘Biochar and biochar composites are versatile materials that can be used in many applications.In this study,biochar was prepared from sawdust and combined with the yttrium iron garnet(YIG)nanocrystal to investigate the shielding effectiveness of the composite structure.Firstly,the effect of the pyrolysis temperature on the shielding effectiveness of biochar was investigated.Secondly,biochars combined with YIG nanocrystals with different contents and shielding effectiveness of the composites were investigated.The electromagnetic effectiveness of the samples was investigated within the X band(8-12 GHz).The findings indicate that biochar demonstrates enhanced absorption properties with elevated pyrolysis temperatures.Biochars demonstrated an approximate 40 d B shielding effectiveness,while YIG exhibited approximately 7 d B,corresponding to absorption at 8 GHz.However,the combination of biochar and YIG exhibited exceptional absorption,reaching 67.12 d B at 8 GHz.

文摘Residents living near drill-and-blast tunnels often experience disturbances from blasting operations.This motivates us to investigate the characteristics of airblasts and resulting noise through on-site monitoring at three tunnels.The research focuses on both the temporal evolution and spatial propagation of airblasts.Temporal analysis,including peak overpressure(POp),positive duration(PD),and Fourier main frequency(MF),emphasizes the relationship between airblast characteristics,blasting delays,and rock grade.It shows that airblast bandwidths are typically in the range of 3e200 Hz,with noise levels exceeding 130 dB,which is comparable to jet engines and rocket launch.Spatial propagation analysis reveals the impact of tunnel space on airblast propagation.Although POp and PD typically decrease with distance inside the tunnel,wave superposition can cause increased overpressure and prolonged durations at far-field distances(above 60 m kg^(-1/3)).Outside the tunnel,sound radiation was influenced by azimuth and was basically determined by sound power d an often-overlooked factor.To address the anisotropic propagation of airblasts,a predictive model was proposed for external noise levels,considering variables like distance,azimuth angle,initial sound power,and wave expansion.Validated by tests,this model successfully unifies data from three studies,helping to explain and predict airblast disturbances near tunnels.
文摘Most existing path planning approaches rely on discrete expansions or localized heuristics that can lead to extended re-planning,inefficient detours,and limited adaptability to complex obstacle distributions.These issues are particularly pronounced when navigating cluttered or large-scale environments that demand both global coverage and smooth trajectory generation.To address these challenges,this paper proposes a Wave Water Simulator(WWS)algorithm,leveraging a physically motivated wave equation to achieve inherently smooth,globally consistent path planning.In WWS,wavefront expansions naturally identify safe corridors while seamlessly avoiding local minima,and selective corridor focusing reduces computational overhead in large or dense maps.Comprehensive simulations and real-world validations-encompassing both indoor and outdoor scenarios-demonstrate that WWS reduces path length by 2%-13%compared to conventional methods,while preserving gentle curvature and robust obstacle clearance.Furthermore,WWS requires minimal parameter tuning across diverse domains,underscoring its broad applicability to warehouse robotics,field operations,and autonomous service vehicles.These findings confirm that the proposed wave-based framework not only bridges the gap between local heuristics and global coverage but also sets a promising direction for future extensions toward dynamic obstacle scenarios and multi-agent coordination.

文摘Studies of wave-current interactions are vital for the safe design of structures.Regular waves in the presence of uniform,linear shear,and quadratic shear currents are explored by the High-Level Green-Naghdi model in this paper.The five-point central difference method is used for spatial discretization,and the fourth-order Adams predictor-corrector scheme is employed for marching in time.The domain-decomposition method is applied for the wave-current generation and absorption.The effects of currents on the wave profile and velocity field are examined under two conditions:the same velocity of currents at the still-water level and the constant flow volume of currents.Wave profiles and velocity fields demonstrate substantial differences in three types of currents owing to the diverse vertical distribution of current velocity and vorticity.Then,loads on small-scale vertical cylinders subjected to regular waves and three types of background currents with the same flow volume are investigated.The maximum load intensity and load fluctuation amplitude in uniform,linear shear,and quadratic shear currents increase sequentially.The stretched superposition method overestimates the maximum load intensity and load fluctuation amplitude in opposing currents and underestimates these values in following currents.The stretched superposition method obtains a poor approximation for strong nonlinear waves,particularly in the case of the opposing quadratic shear current.

文摘Waves are important physical phenomena in an ocean,and their accurate prediction is essential for ocean engineering,maritime traffic,and marine early warning systems.This study focuses on the Qinhuangdao Sea area located in the Bohai Sea,China.Herein,we use on-site wind data to correct the reanalysis wind data obtained from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts(ECMWF),improving the accuracy of boundary conditions.Then,we use the Simulating WAves Nearshore(SWAN)model to simulate the regional wave field over time.A regional wave-parameter prediction model is then developed using a limited number of sampled data(covering only 2 years,2020–2021);the model is based on the Whale Optimization Algorithm(WOA),convolutional neural networks(CNNs),and long short-term memory(LSTM)neural networks.WOA is used to optimize the CNN and LSTM framework;in this framework,CNN extracts spatial features,and the LSTM network captures temporal features,enabling accurate short and long-term predictions of wave height,period,and direction.The experimental results showed that despite the small sample size,the model achieves a goodness of fit of 0.9957 for wave height prediction,0.9973 for period,and 0.9749 for wave direction in short-term forecasting.As the prediction step size increases,the accuracy of the model decreases.When the prediction step size reaches 9 h,the root mean square error for the prediction of wave height,period,and direction increases to 0.2060 m,0.4582 s,and32.5358°,respectively.The reliability and applicability of the model are further validated by the experimental results.Our findings highlighted the potential of the developed model in operational wave forecasting,even with a limited number of sampled data.

文摘This study investigates the relationship between atmospheric stratification (i.e., static stability given by N^(2)) and the vertical energy transfer of stationary planetary waves, and further illustrates the underlying physical mechanism. Specifically, for the simplified case of constant stratospheric N^(2), the refractive index square of planetary waves has a theoretical tendency to increase first and then decrease with an increased N^(2), whereas the group velocity weakens. Mechanistically, this behavior can be understood as an intensified suppression of vertical isentropic surface displacement caused by meridional heat transport of planetary waves under strong N^(2) conditions. Observational analysis corroborates this finding, demonstrating a reduction in the vertical-propagation velocity of waves with increased N^(2). A linear, quasi- geostrophic, mid-latitude beta-plane model with a constant background westerly wind and a prescribed N^(2) applicable to the stratosphere is used to obtain analytic solutions. In this model, the planetary waves are initiated by steady energy influx from the lower boundary. The analysis indicates that under strong N^(2) conditions, the amplitude of planetary waves can be sufficiently increased by the effective energy convergence due to the slowing vertical energy transfer, resulting in a streamfunction response in this model that contains more energy. For N^(2) with a quasi-linear vertical variation, the results bear a resemblance to the constant case, except that the wave amplitude and oscillating frequency show some vertical variations.
