However, these equations have not been used for detailed parametric studies of water spray around planing hulls. In this paper, a straight forward analysis is conducted to apply these analytical equations for finding the spray geometry profile by developing a computer program based on presented computational process. The obtained results of the developed computer program are compared against existing data in the literature and favorable accuracy is achieved. Parametric studies have been conducted for different physical parameters. Positions of spray apex are computed and three dimensional profiles of spray are examined. It is concluded that spray height increases by an increase in the speed coefficient or the deadrise angle. Ultimately, a computational process is added to Savitsky's method and variations of spray apex are computed for different velocities. It is shown that vertical, lateral, and longitudinal positions of spray increase as the craft speed increases. On the other hand, two new angles are defined in top view and it is concluded that they have direct relation with the trim angle. However, they show inverse relation with the deadrise angle.展开更多

Methods: Fifty Chinese adults with chronic periodontitis were randomly assigned to full-mouth SRP or a 7-d essential-oils mouthwash regimen. In addition, 22 periodontally healthy adults used essential-oils mouthwash for 7 d. Clinical examination and plaque/saliva sampling were performed at baseline and on Day 7. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to measure Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa), Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn), Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), Prevotella intermedia (Pi), and total bacterial loads in saliva, supra- and sub-gingival plaque samples. Results: The detection frequencies of four tested species remained unchanged after either treatment. However, the bacterial loads of Fn, Pg, and Pi were significantly reduced by SRP; the mean reduction of bacterial counts in saliva ranged from 52.2% to 62.5% (p<0.01), in supragingival plaque from 68.2% to 81.0% (p<0.05), and in subgingival plaque from 67.9% to 93.0% (p<0.01). Total bacterial loads were reduced after SRP in supra- and sub-gingival plaque (p<0.05). Essential-oils mouthwash reduced Fn levels in supragingival plaque by a mean of 53.2%, and reduced total bacterial loads in supra- and sub-gingival plaque (p<0.01). In subgingival plaque from periodontal patients, Pg and Pi reductions were high after SRP compared to essential-oils mouthwash (93.0% vs. 37.7% and 87.0% vs. 21.0%, p<0.05). No significant bacterial reduction was observed in periodontally healthy subjects using essential-oils mouthwash. Conclusions: SRP and essential-oils mouthwash both have an impact on saliva and gingival plaque flora in Chinese periodontitis patients in 7 d, with greater microbiological improvement by SRP.展开更多

The trim angle and drafts are very sensitive to speed and location of the center of gravity. Therefore, motion simulation for such vessels needs a strong coupling between rigid body motions and hydrodynamic analysis. In addition, free surface should be predicted with good accuracy for each time step. In this paper, velocity and pressure fields are coupled by use of the fractional step method. On the basis of in- tegration of the two-phase viscous flow induced stresses over the hull, acting loads （forces and moments） are calculated. With the strategy of boundary-fitted body-attached mesh and calculation of 6-DoF motions in each time step, time history of ship motions including displacements, speeds and accelerations are evaluated. For the demonstration of the software capabilities, circular cylinder slamming is simulated as a simple type of water slamming. Then, a high-speed planing catamaran is investigated in the case of steady forward motion. All of the results are in good concordance with experimental data. The present method can be widely implemented in design as well as in the performance prediction of high-speed vessels.展开更多

The plate was originated by welding and suffered after chip- forming machining. The residual stress field was taken as a pre-stress condition for the next cutting simulations. Residual stress distribution after machining was then compared to that in the initial residual stress field. Numerical results have been compared to experimental measurements. That shows the potentiality as well as the limitations of numerical techniques. Three major contributions are summarized as follows ： Longitudinal residual stress distribution in welded plates is deeply changed by mechanical tooling; Planing and cutting increases peak values of transversal residual stress and in general introduces some unevenness in distribution along X-direction; Comparison of experimental and numerical values is generally satisfactory for longitudinal residual stress.展开更多

The hull patented Monotricat high hydrodynamic efficiency and energy saving it represents an evolution of the traditional architectures of the hulls, as its shape is adapted to recover wave formation engendered from the bow and sprays associated with it so as to reduce the resistance to the benefit of the speed, and navigating in displacement at speeds of planing hulls with an efficiency of about 20%. The patented hull Monotricat represents the overcoming of distinction between displacement and planing hulls, because, unlike previous solutions, the hull conventionally called Monotricat is the first displacement hull that can navigate at both displacement and planning speeds, with a resistance curve almost straight, maintaining the characteristics of a displacement hull, since it combines the characteristics of displacement and planning hull. It presents an innovative architecture that could be defined as a hybrid between a monohull and catamaran, navigating on spray self-produced. The combination of these three types of naval hulls allows it to ensure： safety, comfort navigation, best seakeeping and maneuverability in restricted waters, stability, reduction of resistance to motion, cost management, regularity on the routes even in adverse weather-sea. These characteristics of the hull have been studied, tested and validated by leading research institutes and universities with more ameliorative results in each subsequent experimentation, reported in the present work, which demonstrated a greater hydrodynamic efficiency compared to conventional hulls of 20%.展开更多

A numerical simulation is carried out based on a RANS-VOF solver to analyze the hydrodynamic performance of the channel type planing trimaran. A series of hydrodynamic experiments in towing tank were carried out, in which both the running attitude and the resistance performance of the trimaran model were recorded. Some hydrodynamic characteristics of the channel type planning trimaran are shown by the results. Firstly, the resistance declines significantly, with the forward speed across the high-speed resistance peak due to the combined effects of the aerodynamic and hydrodynamic lifts. Secondly, the resistance performance is influenced markedly by the longitudinal positio- ns of centre of the gravity and the displacements. Besides, the pressure distribution on the hull and the two-phase flow in the channel are discussed in the numerical simulations.展开更多

文摘Objective: To assess the short-term effect of scaling and root planing (SRP) and essential-oils mouthwash on the levels of specific bacteria in Chinese adults. Methods: Fifty Chinese adults with chronic periodontitis were randomly assigned to full-mouth SRP or a 7-d essential-oils mouthwash regimen. In addition, 22 periodontally healthy adults used essential-oils mouthwash for 7 d. Clinical examination and plaque/saliva sampling were performed at baseline and on Day 7. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to measure Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa), Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fn), Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), Prevotella intermedia (Pi), and total bacterial loads in saliva, supra- and sub-gingival plaque samples. Results: The detection frequencies of four tested species remained unchanged after either treatment. However, the bacterial loads of Fn, Pg, and Pi were significantly reduced by SRP; the mean reduction of bacterial counts in saliva ranged from 52.2% to 62.5% (p<0.01), in supragingival plaque from 68.2% to 81.0% (p<0.05), and in subgingival plaque from 67.9% to 93.0% (p<0.01). Total bacterial loads were reduced after SRP in supra- and sub-gingival plaque (p<0.05). Essential-oils mouthwash reduced Fn levels in supragingival plaque by a mean of 53.2%, and reduced total bacterial loads in supra- and sub-gingival plaque (p<0.01). In subgingival plaque from periodontal patients, Pg and Pi reductions were high after SRP compared to essential-oils mouthwash (93.0% vs. 37.7% and 87.0% vs. 21.0%, p<0.05). No significant bacterial reduction was observed in periodontally healthy subjects using essential-oils mouthwash.

The numerical method for computation of the induced pressure and lift is potential-based boundary element method. Special technique is identified to present upwash geometry and to determine the spray drag. Numerical results of a planing flat plate and planing craft model 4666 are presented. It is shown that the method is robust and efficient and the results agree well with the experimental measurements with various Froude numbers.
文摘High speed planing hulls have complex hydrodynamic behaviors. The trim angle and drafts are very sensitive to speed and location of the center of gravity. Therefore, motion simulation for such vessels needs a strong coupling between rigid body motions and hydrodynamic analysis. In addition, free surface should be predicted with good accuracy for each time step. In this paper, velocity and pressure fields are coupled by use of the fractional step method. On the basis of in- tegration of the two-phase viscous flow induced stresses over the hull, acting loads （forces and moments） are calculated. With the strategy of boundary-fitted body-attached mesh and calculation of 6-DoF motions in each time step, time history of ship motions including displacements, speeds and accelerations are evaluated. For the demonstration of the software capabilities, circular cylinder slamming is simulated as a simple type of water slamming. Then, a high-speed planing catamaran is investigated in the case of steady forward motion. All of the results are in good concordance with experimental data. The present method can be widely implemented in design as well as in the performance prediction of high-speed vessels.

文摘The purpose of this research study was to examine the attitude response of a planing craft under the controllable hydrofoils.Firstly,a non-linear longitudinal attitude model was established.In the mathematical model,effects of wind loads were considered.Both the wetted length and windward area varied in different navigation conditions.Secondly,control strategies for hydrofoils were specified.Using the above strategies,the heave and trim of the planing craft was adjusted by controllable hydrofoils.Finally,a simulation program was developed to predict the longitudinal attitudes of the planing craft with wind loads.A series of simulations were performed and effects of control strategies on longitudinal attitudes were analyzed.The results show that under effects of wind loads,heave of fixed hydrofoils planing craft decreased by 6.3%,and pitch increased by 8.6% when the main engine power was constant.Heave decreased by less than 1% and trim angle decreased by 1.7% as a result of using variable attack angle hydrofoils;however,amplitude changes of heave and pitch were less than 1% under the control of changeable attack angle hydrofoils and longitudinal attitude.
文摘To forecast the modification and evolution of a residual stress field in a butt-welded plate, the residual stress field was numerically evaluated by a finite element method code. The plate was originated by welding and suffered after chip- forming machining. The residual stress field was taken as a pre-stress condition for the next cutting simulations. Residual stress distribution after machining was then compared to that in the initial residual stress field. Numerical results have been compared to experimental measurements. That shows the potentiality as well as the limitations of numerical techniques. Three major contributions are summarized as follows ： Longitudinal residual stress distribution in welded plates is deeply changed by mechanical tooling; Planing and cutting increases peak values of transversal residual stress and in general introduces some unevenness in distribution along X-direction; Comparison of experimental and numerical values is generally satisfactory for longitudinal residual stress.
文摘The need to have naval units ever faster pushed the ship design to design hull shapes with increasingly higher performance thanks to the use of lightweight materials such as aluminum, and more powerful engines, etc., but without substantially modifying the traditional forms of hull. The hull patented Monotricat high hydrodynamic efficiency and energy saving it represents an evolution of the traditional architectures of the hulls, as its shape is adapted to recover wave formation engendered from the bow and sprays associated with it so as to reduce the resistance to the benefit of the speed, and navigating in displacement at speeds of planing hulls with an efficiency of about 20%. The patented hull Monotricat represents the overcoming of distinction between displacement and planing hulls, because, unlike previous solutions, the hull conventionally called Monotricat is the first displacement hull that can navigate at both displacement and planning speeds, with a resistance curve almost straight, maintaining the characteristics of a displacement hull, since it combines the characteristics of displacement and planning hull. It presents an innovative architecture that could be defined as a hybrid between a monohull and catamaran, navigating on spray self-produced. The combination of these three types of naval hulls allows it to ensure： safety, comfort navigation, best seakeeping and maneuverability in restricted waters, stability, reduction of resistance to motion, cost management, regularity on the routes even in adverse weather-sea. These characteristics of the hull have been studied, tested and validated by leading research institutes and universities with more ameliorative results in each subsequent experimentation, reported in the present work, which demonstrated a greater hydrodynamic efficiency compared to conventional hulls of 20%.

文摘The demand for high-speed boats that operating near to shoreline is increasing nowadays.Understanding the behavior and attitude of high-speed boats when moving in different waterways is very important for boat designer.This research uses a CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics)analysis to investigate the shallow water effects on prismatic planing hull.The turbulence fl ow around the hull was described by Reynolds Navier Stokes equations RANSE using the k-ɛturbulence model.The free surface was modelled by the volume of fl uid(VOF)method.The analysis is steady for all the ranges of speeds except those close to the critical speed range Fh=0.84 to 1.27 due to the propagation of the planing hull solitary waves at this range.In this study,the planing hull lift force,total resistance,and wave pattern for the range of subcritical speeds,critical speeds,and supercritical speeds have been calculated using CFD.The numerical results have been compared with experimental results.The dynamic pressure distribution on the planing hull and its wave pattern at critical speed in shallow water were compared with those in deep water.The numerical results give a good agreement with the experimental results whereas total average error equals 7%for numerical lift force,and 8%for numerical total resistance.The worst effect on the planing hull in shallow channels occurs at the critical speed range,where solitary wave formulates.
文摘Semisubmersible naval ships are versatile military crafts that combine the advantageous features of high-speed planing crafts and submarines.At-surface,these ships are designed to provide sufficient speed and maneuverability.Additionally,they can perform shallow dives,offering low visual and acoustic detectability.Therefore,the hydrodynamic design of a semisubmersible naval ship should address at-surface and submerged conditions.In this study,Numerical analyses were performed using a semisubmersible hull form to analyze its hydrodynamic features,including resistance,powering,and maneuvering.The simulations were conducted with Star CCM+version 2302,a commercial package program that solves URANS equations using the SST k-ωturbulence model.The flow analysis was divided into two parts:at-surface simulations and shallowly submerged simulations.At-surface simulations cover the resistance,powering,trim,and sinkage at transition and planing regimes,with corresponding Froude numbers ranging from 0.42 to 1.69.Shallowly submerged simulations were performed at seven different submergence depths,ranging from D/LOA=0.0635 to D/LOA=0.635,and at two different speeds with Froude numbers of 0.21 and 0.33.The behaviors of the hydrodynamic forces and pitching moment for different operation depths were comprehensively analyzed.The results of the numerical analyses provide valuable insights into the hydrodynamic performance of semisubmersible naval ships,highlighting the critical factors influencing their resistance,powering,and maneuvering capabilities in both at-surface and submerged conditions.

文摘This paper studies the hydrodynamic performance of a channel type planing trimaran. A numerical simulation is carried out based on a RANS-VOF solver to analyze the hydrodynamic performance of the channel type planing trimaran. A series of hydrodynamic experiments in towing tank were carried out, in which both the running attitude and the resistance performance of the trimaran model were recorded. Some hydrodynamic characteristics of the channel type planning trimaran are shown by the results. Firstly, the resistance declines significantly, with the forward speed across the high-speed resistance peak due to the combined effects of the aerodynamic and hydrodynamic lifts. Secondly, the resistance performance is influenced markedly by the longitudinal positio- ns of centre of the gravity and the displacements. Besides, the pressure distribution on the hull and the two-phase flow in the channel are discussed in the numerical simulations.

文摘A series of true triaxial unloading tests are conducted on sandstone specimens with a single structural plane to investigate their mechanical behaviors and failure characteristics under different in situ stress states.The experimental results indicate that the dip angle of structural plane(θ)and the intermediate principal stress(σ2)have an important influence on the peak strength,cracking mode,and rockburst severity.The peak strength exhibits a first increase and then decrease as a function ofσ2 for a constantθ.However,whenσ2 is constant,the maximum peak strength is obtained atθof 90°,and the minimum peak strength is obtained atθof 30°or 45°.For the case of an inclined structural plane,the crack type at the tips of structural plane transforms from a mix of wing and anti-wing cracks to wing cracks with an increase inσ2,while the crack type around the tips of structural plane is always anti-wing cracks for the vertical structural plane,accompanied by a series of tensile cracks besides.The specimens with structural plane do not undergo slabbing failure regardless ofθ,and always exhibit composite tensile-shear failure whatever theσ2 value is.With an increase inσ2 andθ,the intensity of the rockburst is consistent with the tendency of the peak strength.By analyzing the relationship between the cohesion(c),internal friction angle(φ),andθin sandstone specimens,we incorporateθinto the true triaxial unloading strength criterion,and propose a modified linear Mogi-Coulomb criterion.Moreover,the crack propagation mechanism at the tips of structural plane,and closure degree of the structural plane under true triaxial unloading conditions are also discussed and summarized.This study provides theoretical guidance for stability assessment of surrounding rocks containing geological structures in deep complex stress environments.
