According to the nonlinear characteristics of ship motion, the four degrees of freedom nonlinear model of Fin/Rudder roll stabilization can be established. This paper analyzes energy consumption caused by overcoming the resistance and the yaw, which is added to the fin/rudder roll stabilization system as new performance index. In order to achieve the purpose of the roll reduction, ship course keeping and energy optimization, the self-tuning PID controller based on the multi-objective genetic algorithm （MOGA） method is used to optimize performance index. In addition, random weight coefficient is adopted to build a multi-objective genetic algorithm optimization model. The objective function is improved so that the objective function can be normalized to a constant level. Simulation results showed that the control method based on MOGA, compared with the traditional control method, not only improves the efficiency of roll stabilization and yaw control precision, but also optimizes the energy of the system. The proposed methodology can get a better performance at different sea states.展开更多

The pressure and velocity flow behind the propeller was calculated. The geometrical nodes of the propeller were constituted by FORTRAN program and the NUMBS method was used to create a configuration of the propeller,which was then used by GAMMBIT to generate the calculation model. The thrust efficiency of fins was calculated as a function of the number of additional fins and the attack angles. The results of the calculations agree fairly well with experimental data,which shows that the viscous flow solution we present is useful in simulating the performance of propellers and rudders with additional fins.展开更多

Three types of nanoparticles, each having a different shape, are considered. These shapes include spherical(Fe_3O_4), cylindrical(Au), and platelet(Zn) configurations. The combination approach is utilized to evaluate the physical and thermal characteristics of the trihybrid and hybrid nanofluids, excluding the thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity. These two properties are inferred by means of the interpolation method based on the volume fraction of nanoparticles. The governing equation is transformed into a dimensionless form, and the Adomian decomposition Sumudu transform method(ADSTM) is adopted to solve the conundrum of a moving fin immersed in a trihybrid nanofluid. The obtained results agree well with those numerical simulation results, indicating that this research is reliable. The influence of diverse factors on the thermal overview for varying noninteger values of γ is analyzed and presented in graphical representations. Furthermore, the fluctuations in the heat transfer concerning the pertinent parameters are studied. The results show that the heat flux in the presence of the combination of spherical, cylindrical, and platelet nanoparticles is higher than that in the presence of the combination of only spherical and cylindrical nanoparticles. The temperature at the fin tip increases by 0.705 759% when the value of the Peclet number increases by 400%, while decreases by 11.825 13% when the value of the Hartman number increases by 400%.展开更多

文摘Energy optimization is one of the key problems for ship roll reduction systems in the last decade. According to the nonlinear characteristics of ship motion, the four degrees of freedom nonlinear model of Fin/Rudder roll stabilization can be established. This paper analyzes energy consumption caused by overcoming the resistance and the yaw, which is added to the fin/rudder roll stabilization system as new performance index. In order to achieve the purpose of the roll reduction, ship course keeping and energy optimization, the self-tuning PID controller based on the multi-objective genetic algorithm （MOGA） method is used to optimize performance index. In addition, random weight coefficient is adopted to build a multi-objective genetic algorithm optimization model. The objective function is improved so that the objective function can be normalized to a constant level. Simulation results showed that the control method based on MOGA, compared with the traditional control method, not only improves the efficiency of roll stabilization and yaw control precision, but also optimizes the energy of the system. The proposed methodology can get a better performance at different sea states.

文摘This work presents a simulation analysis using a multi-objective evolutionary algorithm for the thermo-hydraulic behavior of staggered heat sinks whose fins have NACA 0040 airfoil profile.The results were compared with a conventional pin fin heat sink with a circular profile.This study searched for the best thermo-hydraulic performance by translational and rotational positioning of the fins.It is worth mentioning that this work was carried out in two stages.In the first stage,the thermo-hydraulic behavior of the heat sink was studied moving the location of the upper array above the X-axis from to 2.25 mm and above the Y-axis from to 1.275 mm.The second stage examined-2.25-1.55the effects of fin rotation considering the results found in stage 1.However,in this second stage,both arrays were free to rotate.For the upper array,the rotation range was-25°to 25° and for the lower array the rotation range was-15° to 15°.It is worth mentioning that both stages were analyzed for a single Reynolds(Re)number value of 13,000.The optimization results using the multi-objective evolutionary algorithm showed that compared to a NACA 0040 heat sink with fixed,unrotated original configuration(C0),the NACA 0040 heat sink with any Position Configuration(PC)did not significantly improve the heat transfer.Then,the results found in the second stage showed that the effect of the rotation of both sets did not influence the increase in pressure drop.However,it was found that with the Optimal Position and Rotation Configuration(PRCoptimal),which is the optimized array from Stage 1(position)then optimized by rotation,there is a slightly higher Performance Evaluation Criterion(PEC)compared to the original C0 configuration by 7%.Finally,the proposed NACA 0040 heat sink with the optimal rotation and position setting(PRCoptimal)was found to have a PEC of 9%compared to a conventional pin fin heat sink.

文摘In this study,four types of spiral fins with varying parameters were mounted on an upstream cylinder,and the effects of spiral fins on the vibration response of heat exchange tubes and the vortex structure in cross flow were studied through experiments and numerical simulations.The results indicate a strong dependency of the cylinder's vibration response on the fin parameters.The results indicate that the vibration response and wake structure of the cylinder are significantly influenced by the parameters of the fins.The introduction of a finned cylinder affects both its own vibration amplitude and frequency,as well as the downstream cylinder.The amplitudes of finned cylinders Ⅰ and Ⅲ are reduced by 57.8% and 59.9%,respectively,compared to the bare cylinder.This reduction helps to restrain vibration and diminishes the amplitudes of the downstream cylinder.Although finned cylinder Ⅱ slightly decreases its own vibration,it increases the amplitude of the downstream cylinder by 13.7%.The mean drag coefficient and the root mean square of the lift coefficient of the finned cylinder are higher than those of the bare cylinder when the finned cylinder is positioned upstream.Smaller pitch and larger equivalent diameter will lead to increased drag,resulting in enhanced vortex shedding in the wake,which amplifies the vibrations of the cylinder in that wake.The downstream of finned cylinder Ⅱ has the widest wake and higher vortex strength,and the dynamic load and vibration of the downstream cylinder are increased.The vortex intensity decays faster in the wake of finned cylinder Ⅲ,and the vibration of the downstream cylinder is weaker.

文摘The growing need for enhanced heat dissipation is compelling the development of more effective heat exchangers.Innovation inspired by nature bionics,four types of leaf-shaped pin fins were proposed and four combinations of them were considered.The leaf-shaped design of the cooling pin fin enhances uniformity and synergy,effectively creating an optimized flow path that boosts cooling performance.Eight three-dimensional conjugate heat transfer models in staggered arrangement were developed using ANSYS-Fluent software.Aluminum6061material was used as the heat sinkmaterial and single-phase liquid water flowed through the rectangular channel where the Reynolds(R_(e))number varies from 40 to 100.Using the same boundary conditions as the software simulations,two leaf-shaped channels were printed to validate numerical models.Velocity field and temperature differences of the eight proposed leaf-shaped pin fins configurations were discussed by comparison with cylindrical pin fins.Based on the findings of this study,at a Reynolds number of 80,the Leaf B Staggered Array(LBSA)records a maximum temperature that is 0.72 K lower than that of the cylindrical pin fins arrangement.Additionally,the LBSA exhibits a reduction in the friction factor by approximately 33.3%relative to the circular pin fins array under the same R_(e).This implies that the design of LBSA has been optimized to provide better heat dissipation performance while maintaining lower energy consumption.Furthermore,the LBSA demonstrates the most favorable thermal-hydraulic performance index(TPI),which is 1.18 times higher than that of the circular pin fins arrangement at R_(e)=80.The temperature reduction and friction factor reduction of the lobed channel is more pronounced than that of the conventional cooling channel,highlighting its potential to increase heat transfer efficiency and reduce energy consumption in practical applications.

文摘To analyse a possible way to improve the propulsion performance of ships,the unstructured grid and the Reynolds Average Navier-Stokes equations were used to calculate the performance of a propeller and rudder fitted with additional thrust fins in the viscous flow field.The computational fluid dynamics software FLUENT was used to simulate the thrust and torque coefficient as a function of the advance coefficient of propeller and the thrust efficiency of additional thrust fins. The pressure and velocity flow behind the propeller was calculated. The geometrical nodes of the propeller were constituted by FORTRAN program and the NUMBS method was used to create a configuration of the propeller,which was then used by GAMMBIT to generate the calculation model. The thrust efficiency of fins was calculated as a function of the number of additional fins and the attack angles. The results of the calculations agree fairly well with experimental data,which shows that the viscous flow solution we present is useful in simulating the performance of propellers and rudders with additional fins.

文摘The Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) method, along with the Fluent software package, was used to study the steady and unsteady interaction of propellers and rudders with additional thrust fins.The sliding mesh model was employed to simulate unsteady interactions between the blades, the rudder and the thrust fins.Based on the numerical results, the pressure distribution on the propeller and the efficiency of the fins were calculated as a function of the attack angle.The RANS results were compared with results calculated by the potential method.It was found that the results for the potential method and the RANS method have good consistency, but they yield maximum efficiencies for the fins, and thus corresponding attack angles, that are not identical.

文摘Bionic manta underwater vehicles will play an essential role in future oceans and can perform tasks,such as long-duration reconnaissance and exploration,due to their efficient propulsion.The manta wings’deformation is evident during the swimming process.To improve the propulsion performance of the unmanned submersible,the study of the deformation into the bionic pectoral fin is necessary.In this research,we designed and fabricated a flexible bionic pectoral fin,which is based on the Fin Ray®effect with active and passive deformation(APD)capability.The APD fin was actively controlled by two servo motors and could be passively deformed to variable degrees.The APD fin was moved at 0.5 Hz beat frequency,and the propulsive performance was experimentally verified of the bionic pectoral fins equipped with different extents of deformation.These results showed that the pectoral fin with active–passive deformed capabilities could achieve similar natural biological deformation in the wingspan direction.The average thrust(T)under the optimal wingspan deformation is 61.5%higher than the traditional passive deformed pectoral fins.The obtained results shed light on the design and optimization of the bionic pectoral fins to improve the propulsive performance of unmanned underwater vehicles(UUV).

文摘The goal of this paper is to represent a numerical study of magnetohydrodynamic mixed convection heat transfer in a lid-driven vertical wavy enclosure with a fin attached to the bottomwall.We use a finite elementmethod based on Galerkin weighted residual(GWR)techniques to set up the appropriate governing equations for the present flow model.We have conducted a parametric investigation to examine the impact of Hartmann and Richardson numbers on the flow pattern and heat transmission features inside a wavy cavity.We graphically represent the numerical results,such as isotherms,streamlines,velocity profiles,local and mean Nusselt numbers,and average surface temperature.Comparisons between the results of this work and previously published work in a literature review have been produced to examine the reliability and consistency of the data.The different sizes of the fin surface significantly impact flow creation and temperature fields.Additionally,the long fin size is necessary to enhance the heat transfer rate on the right surface at large Richardson numbers and low Hartmann numbers.Fin surfaces can significantly increase the mixing of fluid inside the enclosure,which can mean reductions in reaction times and operating costs,along with increases in heat transfer and efficiency.

文摘The thermal examination of a non-integer-ordered mobile fin with a magnetism in the presence of a trihybrid nanofluid(Fe_3O_4-Au-Zn-blood) is carried out. Three types of nanoparticles, each having a different shape, are considered. These shapes include spherical(Fe_3O_4), cylindrical(Au), and platelet(Zn) configurations. The combination approach is utilized to evaluate the physical and thermal characteristics of the trihybrid and hybrid nanofluids, excluding the thermal conductivity and dynamic viscosity. These two properties are inferred by means of the interpolation method based on the volume fraction of nanoparticles. The governing equation is transformed into a dimensionless form, and the Adomian decomposition Sumudu transform method(ADSTM) is adopted to solve the conundrum of a moving fin immersed in a trihybrid nanofluid. The obtained results agree well with those numerical simulation results, indicating that this research is reliable. The influence of diverse factors on the thermal overview for varying noninteger values of γ is analyzed and presented in graphical representations. Furthermore, the fluctuations in the heat transfer concerning the pertinent parameters are studied. The results show that the heat flux in the presence of the combination of spherical, cylindrical, and platelet nanoparticles is higher than that in the presence of the combination of only spherical and cylindrical nanoparticles. The temperature at the fin tip increases by 0.705 759% when the value of the Peclet number increases by 400%, while decreases by 11.825 13% when the value of the Hartman number increases by 400%.

文摘The heat transfer through a concave permeable fin is analyzed by the local thermal non-equilibrium(LTNE)model.The governing dimensional temperature equations for the solid and fluid phases of the porous extended surface are modeled,and then are nondimensionalized by suitable dimensionless terms.Further,the obtained nondimensional equations are solved by the clique polynomial method(CPM).The effects of several dimensionless parameters on the fin's thermal profiles are shown by graphical illustrations.Additionally,the current study implements deep neural structures to solve physics-governed coupled equations,and the best-suited hyperparameters are attained by comparison with various network combinations.The results of the CPM and physicsinformed neural network(PINN)exhibit good agreement,signifying that both methods effectively solve the thermal modeling problem.

文摘The Tbx family is first known through the study of their functions in the body and limbs,and its members Tbx4 and Tbx5 genes are important factors in determining the characteristics of the appendages.Pampus argenteus is one of the important economical marine fishes widely distributed in offshore areas.Therefore,it is necessary to study the role of Tbx family genes in the deletion of pelvic fin in P.argenteus.In this study,we cloned Tbx4 and Tbx5 cDNA sequence of P.argenteus(GenBank:MH709128 and MH712458).The Western blot and real time PCR were used to detect the expressions of Tbx4 and Tbx5 in different developmental stages and tissues of P.argenteus.In addition,whole-mount in-situ hybridization was used to study the localization of Tbx4 and Tbx5 genes in different developmental stages of P.argenteus.Results show that the translation of Tbx4 mRNA was inhibited during the critical period of pelvic fin development.Among different tissues,Tbx4 protein levels were the lowest in the abdominal epithelium,and even lower than that in the pectoral fin,suggesting that the protein expression was also inhibited in the abdominal epithelium of adult P.argenteus.Therefore,the results indicated that upstream genes regulation led to the key stage-specific and low expression of Tbx4 during pelvic fin development and in the abdominal epithelium.
