The dynamic response of long-span Rail-cum-Road cable-stayed bridges is particularly severe under their influence, potentially leading to safety problems. In this paper, a fluid–structure separation solution method is implemented using Ansys–Midas co-simulation, in order to solve the above issues effectively while using less computational resources. The feasibility of the method is verified by comparing the tower top displacement response with relevant experimental data. From time and frequency domain perspectives, the displacement and acceleration responses of the sea-crossing Rail-cum-Road cable-stayed bridge influenced by wave-only, wind–wave, and wind–wave–undercurrent coupling are comparatively studied. The results indicate that the displacement and acceleration of the front bearing platform top are more significant than those of the rear bearing platform. The dominant frequency under wind–wave–undercurrent coupling is close to the natural vibration frequencies of several bridge modes,such that wind–wave–undercurrent coupling is more likely to cause a resonance effect in the bridge. Compared with the wave-only and wind–wave coupling, wind–wave–undercurrent coupling can excite bridges to produce larger displacement and acceleration responses: at the middle of the main girder span, compared with the wave-only case, the maximum displacement in the transverse bridge direction increases by 23.58% and 46.95% in the wind–wave and wind–wave–undercurrent coupling cases, respectively;at the tower top, the variation in the amplitude of the displacement and acceleration responses of wind–wave and wind–wave–undercurrent coupling are larger than those in the wave-only case, where the acceleration change amplitude of the tower top is from-0.93 to 0.86 m/s^(2) in the waveonly case, from-2.2 to 2.1 m/s^(2) under wind–wave coupling effect, and from-2.6 to 2.65 m/s^(2) under wind–wave–undercurrent coupling effect, indicating that the tower top is mainly affected by wind loads, but wave and undercurrent loads cannot be neglected.展开更多

Two formulations are considered: one from the wave modeling(WAM) program proposed by Hasselmann and Komen and the other provided by Tsagareli and Babanin. The solution adopted for our study was presented by Song for the wave-modifi ed Ekman current model that included the Stokes drift, wind input, and wave dissipation with eddy viscosity increasing linearly with depth. Using the Combi spectrum with tail effects, the solutions are calculated using two formulations for wind input and wave dissipation, and compared. Differences in the results are not negligible. Furthermore, the solution presented by Song and Xu for the eddy viscosity formulated using the K-Profi le Parameterization scheme under wind input and wave dissipation given by Tsagareli and Babanin is compared with that obtained for a depth-dependent eddy viscosity. The solutions are further compared with the available well-known observational data. The result indicates that the Tsagareli and Babanin scheme is more suitable for use in the model when capillary waves are included, and the solution calculated using the K-Profi le Parameterization scheme agrees best with observations.展开更多

This work addresses this issue by establishing a mechanistic drifting forecast model based on kinetic analysis. Taking tide–wind–wave into consideration, the forecast model is validated against in situ drifting experiment in the Radial Sand Ridges. Model results show good performance with respect to the measured drifting features, characterized by migrating back and forth twice a day with daily downwind displacements. Trajectory models are used to evaluate the influence of the individual hydrodynamic forcing. The tidal current is the fundamental dynamic condition in the Radial Sand Ridges and has the greatest impact on the drifting distance. However, it loses its leading position in the field of the daily displacement of the used drifter. The simulations reveal that different hydrodynamic forces dominate the daily displacement of the used drifter at different wind scales. The wave-induced mass transport has the greatest influence on the daily displacement at Beaufort wind scale 5–6; while wind drag contributes mostly at wind scale 2–4.展开更多

The validation of this scenario requires spacecraft observations of ultra-low-frequency hydromagnetic waves in the magnetosphere and simultaneous observations of poleward-moving auroral arcs near the spacecraft footprints. Here we present the first observational evidence from the multi-spacecraft THEMIS (Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms) mission and the conjugated all-sky imager to support the scenario that standing hydromagnetic waves can generate the quasi-periodic appearance of poleward-moving auroral arcs. In this specific event, the observed waves were toroidal branches of the standing hydromagnetic waves, which were excited by a pulse in the solar wind dynamic pressure. Multi-spacecraft measurements from THEMIS also suggest higher wave frequencies at lower L shells (consistent with the distribution of magnetic field line eigenfrequencies), which indicates that the phase difference across latitudes would increase with time. As time proceeds, the enlarged phase difference corresponds to a lower propagation speed of the auroral arcs, which agrees very well with the ground-based optical data.展开更多

Under wind-induced only, wave-induced only and combined wind and wave induced loads, dynamic response is analyzed for a 6-MW Spar-type floating offshore wind turbine （FOWT） under operating conditions and parked conditions respectively. Comparison with a platform-fixed system （land-based system） ofa 6-MW wind turbine is carried out as well. Results demonstrate that the maximal out-of-plane deflection of the blade of a Spar-type system is 3.1% larger than that of a land-based system; the maximum response value of the nacelle acceleration is 215% larger for all the designed load cases being considered; the ultimate tower base fore-aft bending moment of the Spar-type system is 92% larger than that of the land-based system in all of the Design Load Cases （DLCs） being considered; the fluctuations of the mooring tension is mainly wave-induced, and the safety factor of the mooring tension is adequate for the 6-MW FOWT. The results can provide relevant modifications to the initial design for the Spar-type system, the detailed design and model basin test of the 6-MW Spar-type system.展开更多

A threedimensional coupled hydrodynamical-ecological model for regional and shelf seas （COHERENS） incorporating the influences of wave-current interactions was coupled with the third-generation wave model swan taking into account time-varying currents. The effects of waves on currents were included in the SDC, surface mixing length and bottom drag coefficient. Firstly, the formulations in Donelan were incorporated into the COHERENS to account for wave-dependent SDC. In order to compare simulation results for the wave-dependent SDC, the simulation for wind-dependent SDC was also carried out. Second, Wave-Induced Surface Mixing Length （described as WISML sometimes in this paper） was incorporated into the COHERENS. Four numerical experiments were conducted to discuss the effects of two kinds of wave processes. Generally, the values of time series of current velocity and water surface elevation given by the simulation with all of the three wave processes have a good agreement with observed data. The existence of WISML changes obviously current vertical profiles and the existence of the wave dependent SDC modifies the current field of both top and bottom layers with the wind-dependent SDC.展开更多

In this paper, firstly, the leakage magnetic field and short-circuit impedance model of axial dual-low-voltage split-winding transformer is established, and then the 2D and 3D leakage magnetic field are analyzed. Secondly, the short-circuit impedance and split parallel branch current distribution in different working conditions are calculated, which is based on field-circuit coupled method. At last, effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed model is verified by comparison between experiment, analysis and simulation. The results showed that the 3D analysis method is a better approach to calculate the short-circuit impedance, since its analytical value is more closer to the experimental value compared with the 2D analysis results, the finite element method calculation error is less than 2%, while the leakage flux method maximum error is 7.2%.展开更多

The climatological circulation pattern in summer of the Bohai Sea is studied by using a wave-tide-circulation coupled model. The simulated temperature and the circulation agree with the observation well. The result shows that the circulation pattern of the Bohai Sea is jointly influenced by the tidal residual current, wind and baroclinic current. There exists an obvious density current along the temperature front from the west part of the Liaodong Bay to the offshore area of the Huanghe Estuary. In the Liaodong Bay there exists a clockwise gyre in the area north to the 40°N. While in the area south to the 40°N the circulation shows a two-gyre structure, the flow from the offshore area of the Huanghe Estuary to the Liaodong Bay splits into two branches in the area between 39°N and 40°N. The west branch turns into north-west and forms an anti-clockwise gyre with the south-westward density current off the west of the Liaodong Bay. The east branch turns to the east and forms a clockwise gyre with the flow along the east coast of the Liaodong Bay. The forming mechanism of the circulation is also discussed in this paper.展开更多

For two selected storms with measured data in the Yellow River coastalarea of the Bohai Sea, it is shown that the bottom stress calculated by using a coupledwave-current model is increased, as one would expect, compared with the bottom stress computed withan uncoupled current model. Moreover, the current velocity field is also changed, but thecorresponding current directions show less influence in the two simulations. The extents of changesin bottom stress and current velocity vary with storm intensities. The results further imply thatthe coupled wave-current model should be used as the basis for simulating the current velocity andsea level in the near shore region.展开更多

Here we study the effects of the seasonal variation of the winds in a realistic Earth main field. The two-dimensional ionospheric dynamo equation is expressed in the framework of a revision of the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF) under the assumptions of equipotential field lines and conservation of current. A revision of IGRF and typical uniform conductance are used to isolate the effects of the seasonal variation of the winds. Our results show that the potential and the currents in solstice seasons are much different from those in equinox seasons. The gradients of the potential are steeper in solstice seasons than in equinox sea- sons, and similarly the shell currents are stronger in solstice seasons, due to the stronger neutral winds, than in equinox seasons. Correspondingly, the Birkeland currents in solstice seasons are 2-3 times larger than those in equinox seasons, and that the Birkeland currents are much stronger in winter than in summer. Consequently, this suggests that the couplings between North and South Hemi-spheres are much stronger in solstice seasons than in equinox seasons, and likewise they are stronger in winter than in summer.展开更多

Generally, the values of time series of current velocity and water surface elevation given by the simulation with all of the three wave processes have a good agreement with observed data. The existence of WISML changes obviously current vertical profiles and the existence of the wave dependent SDC modifies the current field of both top and bottom layers with the wind-dependent SDC.
文摘It is difficult to accurately calculate the short-circuit impedance, due to the complexity of axial dual-low-voltage split-winding transformer winding structure. In this paper, firstly, the leakage magnetic field and short-circuit impedance model of axial dual-low-voltage split-winding transformer is established, and then the 2D and 3D leakage magnetic field are analyzed. Secondly, the short-circuit impedance and split parallel branch current distribution in different working conditions are calculated, which is based on field-circuit coupled method. At last, effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed model is verified by comparison between experiment, analysis and simulation. The results showed that the 3D analysis method is a better approach to calculate the short-circuit impedance, since its analytical value is more closer to the experimental value compared with the 2D analysis results, the finite element method calculation error is less than 2%, while the leakage flux method maximum error is 7.2%.

文摘When a maintenance and operations ship is berthing,there is a chance the ship may collide into the wind turbine.When these ships collide into wind turbine structures,this can result in significant changes to the foundation and structure of the wind turbine.In this paper,the structural load of a 4 MW offshore wind turbine was analyzed during a collision with an operations and maintenance ship.The variations in the wind speeds on hub height,waves,and the sea currents were measured.The dynamic simulation of the wind turbine was carried out using the test data as the input parameters.As a result,the load condition of the turbine without a collision was obtained.Finally,the measured turbine load was compared with the simulation results.This study shows that the collision of the operation and the maintenance ship increases the bending moments at the tower’s bottom and the blade’s roots.

文摘The offshore wind energy presents a good solution for the green energy demand.The floating offshore wind turbine(FOWT)is one of the most potential choices of the basement construction for offshore wind turbines in deep water.Hydrodynamic performance of multi-column tension-leg-type floating wind turbine is investigated numerically,particularly at its motion responses.Based on the Navier-Stokes equations and the volume of fluid method,a numerical wave tank(NWT)is established to simulate the floating structure system.The analytical relaxation method is adopted to generate regular waves.Dynamic mesh method is used to calculate the motion of the floating body.Hydrostatic decay of motion and hydrodynamic forces in the regular wave are provided.The computation results agree with the experimental data available.Numerical results show that the wave force on the lower pontoon of the system is the greatest while that on the center column is the smallest.Detailed information about the changes of the wave forces on different elements of the floating system is discussed.

文摘The Bohai Sea is a shallow semi-enclosed inner sea with an average depth of 18 m and is located at the west of the northern Yellow Sea. The climatological circulation pattern in summer of the Bohai Sea is studied by using a wave-tide-circulation coupled model. The simulated temperature and the circulation agree with the observation well. The result shows that the circulation pattern of the Bohai Sea is jointly influenced by the tidal residual current, wind and baroclinic current. There exists an obvious density current along the temperature front from the west part of the Liaodong Bay to the offshore area of the Huanghe Estuary. In the Liaodong Bay there exists a clockwise gyre in the area north to the 40°N. While in the area south to the 40°N the circulation shows a two-gyre structure, the flow from the offshore area of the Huanghe Estuary to the Liaodong Bay splits into two branches in the area between 39°N and 40°N. The west branch turns into north-west and forms an anti-clockwise gyre with the south-westward density current off the west of the Liaodong Bay. The east branch turns to the east and forms a clockwise gyre with the flow along the east coast of the Liaodong Bay. The forming mechanism of the circulation is also discussed in this paper.
文摘This paper presents a high-resolution (2′X2′) numerical model of coastalcoupled wave-current interaction with explicit consideration of the effects of wave-currentinteraction on bottom stress. For two selected storms with measured data in the Yellow River coastalarea of the Bohai Sea, it is shown that the bottom stress calculated by using a coupledwave-current model is increased, as one would expect, compared with the bottom stress computed withan uncoupled current model. Moreover, the current velocity field is also changed, but thecorresponding current directions show less influence in the two simulations. The extents of changesin bottom stress and current velocity vary with storm intensities. The results further imply thatthe coupled wave-current model should be used as the basis for simulating the current velocity andsea level in the near shore region.

文摘The neutral wind dynamo contributes significantly to the ionospheric electrodynamics, and the variation of the neutral winds thus affects the ionosphere. Here we study the effects of the seasonal variation of the winds in a realistic Earth main field. The two-dimensional ionospheric dynamo equation is expressed in the framework of a revision of the International Geomagnetic Reference Field (IGRF) under the assumptions of equipotential field lines and conservation of current. A revision of IGRF and typical uniform conductance are used to isolate the effects of the seasonal variation of the winds. Our results show that the potential and the currents in solstice seasons are much different from those in equinox seasons. The gradients of the potential are steeper in solstice seasons than in equinox sea- sons, and similarly the shell currents are stronger in solstice seasons, due to the stronger neutral winds, than in equinox seasons. Correspondingly, the Birkeland currents in solstice seasons are 2-3 times larger than those in equinox seasons, and that the Birkeland currents are much stronger in winter than in summer. Consequently, this suggests that the couplings between North and South Hemi-spheres are much stronger in solstice seasons than in equinox seasons, and likewise they are stronger in winter than in summer.

文摘It is economic and secure to determine the optimal siting and sizing of the offshore wind farms(OWFs)integrated into the AC system through voltage-source converter high-voltage direct current(VSC-HVDC)links.In this paper,an integrated planning model for the VSC-HVDC-link-based OWFs and the capacitors is proposed,where a decomposition technique is presented to solve the proposed mixed-integer nonlinear programming(MINLP)problem and obtain the optimal solution.This model can optimize the siting and sizing of the OWFs to improve the voltage profile and reduce the adverse influence of the reactive power of the OWFs.With the proposed planning model,the total investment costs,operation costs and maintenance costs of the OWFs,VSC-HVDC links,and the capacitors can be minimized.Simulations on the modified IEEE 118-bus system show that the proposed integrated planning model can provide more economic scheme than the independent planning scheme,in which the capacitors are planned after the OWFs.Besides,a series of sensitivity analysis on certain equipment costs are studied to obtain the regular pattern for sizing VSC stations.

文摘In theory,due to the fact that the grounding wire PE of wind turbine and the N-line(directly grounded)of the Y-shaped wiring on the low-voltage side of the box-type transformer share the grounding body,when the wind turbine is struck by lightning,the lightning current is directly conducted to the N-line on the low-voltage side of the box-type transformer(invasion mode of transformer synonym end).At the same time,conducted overvoltage pulse is generated in the three-phase winding on the low-voltage side,and coupled to the high-voltage side of the box-type transformer(Δconnection)to generate coupling overvoltage pulse.After investigation,the existing regulations on the tripping rate of power lines have not taken into account the impact of wind turbines being struck by lightning on line tripping,and the mechanism is still unclear.In order to further analyze the causes of lightning tripping of collection line circuit breakers in wind farms,it is necessary to study the physical process of how lightning current is conducted(coupled)to the collection line through the box-type transformer after lightning strikes on the wind turbines.In this paper,the test method of"conduction and coupling test of lightning current invading transformer N-line",and the waveform parameters(polarity,phase,amplitude,and transformation ratio)of the primary and secondary windings of the box-type transformer when lightning current invades the transformer N-line are introduced.It can provide assistance for operation and maintenance personnel to analyze the reasons for lightning tripping of 35 kV line circuit breakers in wind farms.
