It has high volumetric hydrogen density, low storage pressure, and high auto ignition temperature. Ammonia can be used directly in internal combustion engines, and gas turbines. Cracked hydrogen can be used for fuel cells. The 4th IMO Greenhouse Gas Study 2020, estimates that if no further action is taken, international shipping emissions are expected to represent 90% to 130% of 2008 emission levels by 2050. There will also be a rise in atmospheric CO_(2) and there is already a rise in average global sea levels from 21.9 to 23.7 between 1880 and 2010. This will affect large coastal areas of the world and island nations. The challenges for ammonia are its foul odor, corrosive nature, and being highly toxic to humans and the environment. There is also an explosion risk. Other issues are bunkering and storage on board, corrosive effect on metals, shore infrastructure, commercial and technical viability. Therefore, this study gives an overview of challenges that will be faced on board ships to use ammonia as fuel.展开更多

These joints are mostly made up of structural steel. These joints can withstand yield, buckling, and lateral loads depending on the structure’s design and environment. In this study, the Finite Element Model of the KK-type tubular joint has been created, and analysis has been performed under static loading using the Static Structural analysis system of ANSYS 19.2 commercial software and structural mechanics module of COMSOL Multiphysics. The KK tubular model is analyzed under compressive load conditions, and the resulting stress, strain, and deformation values are tabulated in both graphical and tabular form. This study includes a comparison of the outcomes from both commercial software. The results highlight that maximum stress, strain, and deformation values decrease as joint thickness increases. This study holds significant relevance in advancing the understanding of tubular KK joints and their response to compressive loading. The insights derived from the analysis have the potential to contribute to the development of more robust and reliable tubular KK joints in various engineering and structural applications. .展开更多

A numerical simulation model for the interaction of solitary waves with submersibles at a large scale has been developed. The Miyata-ChoiCamassa(MCC) equation serves as the basis for generating ISWs. The impacts of the submergence depth, wave amplitude, and advancing velocity on the motion response and load characteristics of the submersible are examined in detail. This study elucidates the governing laws and mechanisms underlying the impact of ISWs on submersibles.The research findings indicate that shorter distances to the undisturbed surface, higher wave amplitudes, and fasteradvancing speeds result in greater effects on submersibles. For a submersible operating in the lower layer, both the alteration in density near the wave interface and the dynamic pressure induced by ISWs can reduce its lift, potentially resulting in a rapid descent. It is imperative to pay considerable attention to the impact of ISWs, as they have the potential to precipitate a loss of control of the submersible.展开更多

Relative numerical integral methods about the two parts are presented in this paper. An improved method based on LOBATTO rule is used to eliminate singularities caused respectively by infinite discontinuity and jump discontinuous node from the local disturbance part function, which makes the improvement of calculation efficiency and accuracy possible. And variable substitution is applied to remove the singularity existing at the end of the integral interval of the far-field wave-like part function. Two auxiliary techniques such as valid interval calculation and local refinement of integral steps technique in narrow zones near false singularities are applied so as to avoid unnecessary integration of invalid interval and improve integral accordance. Numerical test results have proved the efficiency and accuracy in these integral methods that thus can be applied to calculate hydrodynamic performance of floating structures moving in waves.展开更多

Methods for calculating the forward-speed free-surface Green function are discussed and a computer program with this Green function is developed. According to the special rules, the wave loads under several typical design conditions of the platform are calculated. The maximum vertical bending moment, torsion moment and horizontal split force are determined from a series of contour maps of wave loads for the wave period of 5 to 18 seconds at a certain interval and the wave phase of 0degrees to 360degrees at a certain interval. The wave height is determined by the function of wave period with a given exceedance probability. The maximum wave loads under the combination of wave parameters are used as the input of hydrodynamic pressure in the three-dimensional finite element analysis process. The transfer functions of wave loads on the platform are used for the fatigue strength analysis of the K-tubular joint and the sub-model of the structure.展开更多

The numerical simulation work is based on the multi-physics computational fluid dynamics(CFD) code and an innovative full-structured dynamic grid method applied to update the three-degree-of-freedom(3-DOF) rigid structure motions. As a time-marching scheme, the trapezoid analogue integral method is used to update the time integration combined with remeshing at each time step.The application of full-structured mesh elements can prevent grids distortion or deformation caused by large-scale movement and improve the stability of calculation. In movable regions, each moving zone is specified with particular motion modes(sway, heave and roll). A series of experimental studies are carried out to validate the performance of the floating body and verify the accuracy of the proposed numerical model. The results are systematically assessed in terms of wave coefficients, mooring line forces, velocity streamlines and the 3-DOF motions of the floating breakwater. When compared with the wave coefficient solutions, excellent agreements are achieved between the computed and experimental data, except in the vicinity of resonant frequency. The velocity streamlines and wave profile movement in the fluid field can also be reproduced using this numerical model.展开更多

The HC algorithm is able to avoid numerical instability issues associated with artificial added mass effects, which are often encountered by standard loosely coupled （LC） and tightly coupled （TC） algorithms, when modeling the FSI response of flexible structures in incompressible flow. The artificial added mass effect is caused by the lag in exchange of interfacial displacements and forces between the fluid and solid solvers in partitioned algorithms. The artificial added mass effect is much more prominent for light/flexible struc- tures moving in water, because the fluid forces are in the same order of magnitude as the solid forces, and because the speed at which numerical errors propagate in an incom- pressible fluid. The new HC algorithm avoids numerical instability issues associated with artificial added mass effects by embedding Theodorsen＇s analytical approximation of the hydroelastic forces in the solution process to obtain better initial estimates of the displacements. Details of the new HC algorithm are presented. Numerical validation studies are shown for the forced pitching response of a steel and a plastic hydrofoil. The results show that the HC algorithm is able to converge faster, and is able to avoid numerical insta- bility issues, compared to standard LC and TC algorithms, when modeling the transient FSI response of a plastic hydrofoil. Although the HC algorithm is only demonstrated for a NACA0009 hydrofoil subject to pure pitching motion, the method can be easily extended to model general 3-D FSI response and stability of complex, flexible structures in turbulent, incompressible, multiphase flows.展开更多

There is also an explosion risk. Other issues are bunkering and storage on board, corrosive effect on metals, shore infrastructure, commercial and technical viability. Therefore, this study gives an overview of challenges that will be faced on board ships to use ammonia as fuel.

It is imperative to pay considerable attention to the impact of ISWs, as they have the potential to precipitate a loss of control of the submersible.

文摘Cancer stem cells(CSCs)constitute a highly plastic and therapy-resistant cell subpopulation within tumors that drives tumor initiation,progression,metastasis,and relapse.Their ability to evade conventional treatments,adapt to metabolic stress,and interact with the tumor microenvironment makes them critical targets for innovative therapeutic strategies.Recent advances in single-cell sequencing,spatial transcriptomics,and multiomics integration have significantly improved our understanding of CSC heterogeneity and metabolic adaptability.Metabolic plasticity allows CSCs to switch between glycolysis,oxidative phosphorylation,and alternative fuel sources such as glutamine and fatty acids,enabling them to survive under diverse environmental conditions.Moreover,interactions with stromal cells,immune components,and vascular endothelial cells facilitate metabolic symbiosis,further promoting CSC survival and drug resistance.Despite substantial progress,major hurdles remain,including the lack of universally reliable CSC biomarkers and the challenge of targeting CSCs without affecting normal stem cells.The development of 3D organoid models,CRISPR-based functional screens,and AI-driven multiomics analysis is paving the way for precision-targeted CSC therapies.Emerging strategies such as dual metabolic inhibition,synthetic biology-based interventions,and immune-based approaches hold promise for overcoming CSC-mediated therapy resistance.Moving forward,an integrative approach combining metabolic reprogramming,immunomodulation,and targeted inhibition of CSC vulnerabilities is essential for developing effective CSC-directed therapies.This review discusses the latest advancements in CSC biology,highlights key challenges,and explores future perspectives on translating these findings into clinical applications.

文摘As one of the most prevalent malignant tumors,hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)represents a major global public health burden.Traditionally,HCC pathogenesis has been attributed to chronic liver diseases(viral hepatitis,cirrhosis)and aflatoxin exposure.However,with evolving lifestyles and environmental changes,sleep disorders have become increasingly prevalent.Emerging evidence suggest that sleep disorders may contribute to hepatocarcinogenesis through multiple mechanisms,including immunity environment disorder,oxidative stress,metabolic dysregulation,disruption of gut microbiota,and circadian rhythm disruption,thereby influencing disease progression and patient prognosis.This review summarizes epidemiological evidence on the relationship between sleep disorders and HCC incidence,explores the underlying mechanisms through which sleep disorders contribute to HCC,and discusses clinical challenges and potential intervention strategies.Our objective is to provide novel insights into HCC prevention and therapeutic approaches.

文摘The singularities, oscillatory performances and the contributing factors to the 3-＇D translating-pulsating source Green function of deep-water Havelock form which consists of a local disturbance part and a far-field wave-like part, are analyzed systematically. Relative numerical integral methods about the two parts are presented in this paper. An improved method based on LOBATTO rule is used to eliminate singularities caused respectively by infinite discontinuity and jump discontinuous node from the local disturbance part function, which makes the improvement of calculation efficiency and accuracy possible. And variable substitution is applied to remove the singularity existing at the end of the integral interval of the far-field wave-like part function. Two auxiliary techniques such as valid interval calculation and local refinement of integral steps technique in narrow zones near false singularities are applied so as to avoid unnecessary integration of invalid interval and improve integral accordance. Numerical test results have proved the efficiency and accuracy in these integral methods that thus can be applied to calculate hydrodynamic performance of floating structures moving in waves.
文摘For the global and structural fatigue strength analysis of a semi-submersible platform, wave loads under design conditions are calculated by use of the three-dimensional boundary element method. Methods for calculating the forward-speed free-surface Green function are discussed and a computer program with this Green function is developed. According to the special rules, the wave loads under several typical design conditions of the platform are calculated. The maximum vertical bending moment, torsion moment and horizontal split force are determined from a series of contour maps of wave loads for the wave period of 5 to 18 seconds at a certain interval and the wave phase of 0degrees to 360degrees at a certain interval. The wave height is determined by the function of wave period with a given exceedance probability. The maximum wave loads under the combination of wave parameters are used as the input of hydrodynamic pressure in the three-dimensional finite element analysis process. The transfer functions of wave loads on the platform are used for the fatigue strength analysis of the K-tubular joint and the sub-model of the structure.

文摘This paper investigates the hydrodynamic performance of a cylindrical-dual or rectangular-single pontoon floating breakwater using the numerical method and experimental study. The numerical simulation work is based on the multi-physics computational fluid dynamics(CFD) code and an innovative full-structured dynamic grid method applied to update the three-degree-of-freedom(3-DOF) rigid structure motions. As a time-marching scheme, the trapezoid analogue integral method is used to update the time integration combined with remeshing at each time step.The application of full-structured mesh elements can prevent grids distortion or deformation caused by large-scale movement and improve the stability of calculation. In movable regions, each moving zone is specified with particular motion modes(sway, heave and roll). A series of experimental studies are carried out to validate the performance of the floating body and verify the accuracy of the proposed numerical model. The results are systematically assessed in terms of wave coefficients, mooring line forces, velocity streamlines and the 3-DOF motions of the floating breakwater. When compared with the wave coefficient solutions, excellent agreements are achieved between the computed and experimental data, except in the vicinity of resonant frequency. The velocity streamlines and wave profile movement in the fluid field can also be reproduced using this numerical model.

文摘The objective of this paper is to present and to validate a new hybrid coupling （HC） algorithm for modeling of fluid-structure interaction （FSI） in incompressible, viscous flows. The HC algorithm is able to avoid numerical instability issues associated with artificial added mass effects, which are often encountered by standard loosely coupled （LC） and tightly coupled （TC） algorithms, when modeling the FSI response of flexible structures in incompressible flow. The artificial added mass effect is caused by the lag in exchange of interfacial displacements and forces between the fluid and solid solvers in partitioned algorithms. The artificial added mass effect is much more prominent for light/flexible struc- tures moving in water, because the fluid forces are in the same order of magnitude as the solid forces, and because the speed at which numerical errors propagate in an incom- pressible fluid. The new HC algorithm avoids numerical instability issues associated with artificial added mass effects by embedding Theodorsen＇s analytical approximation of the hydroelastic forces in the solution process to obtain better initial estimates of the displacements. Details of the new HC algorithm are presented. Numerical validation studies are shown for the forced pitching response of a steel and a plastic hydrofoil. The results show that the HC algorithm is able to converge faster, and is able to avoid numerical insta- bility issues, compared to standard LC and TC algorithms, when modeling the transient FSI response of a plastic hydrofoil. Although the HC algorithm is only demonstrated for a NACA0009 hydrofoil subject to pure pitching motion, the method can be easily extended to model general 3-D FSI response and stability of complex, flexible structures in turbulent, incompressible, multiphase flows.

文摘How to evaluate time-domain Green function and its gradients efficiently is the key problem to analyze ship hydrodynamics in time domain. Based on the Bessel function, an Ordinary Differential Equation （ODE） was derived for time-domain Green function and its gradients in this paper. A new efficient calculation method based on solving ODE is proposed. It has been demonstrated by the numerical calculation that this method can improve the precision of the time-domain Green function. Numeiical research indicates that it is efficient to solve the hydrodynamic problems.

文摘A method is presented to calculate the resistance of a high-speed displacement ship taking the effect of sinkage and trim and viscosity of fluid into account.A free surface flow field is evaluated by solving Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS) equations with volume of fluid(VoF) method.The sinkage and trim are computed by equating the vertical force and pitching moment to the hydrostatic restoring force and moment.The software Fluent,Maxsurf and MATLAB are used to implement this method.With dynamic mesh being used,the position of a ship is updated by the motion of "ship plus boundary layer" grid zone.The hull factors are introduced for fast calculating the running attitude of a ship.The method has been applied to the ship model INSEAN2340 for different Froude numbers and is found to be efficient for evaluating the flow field,resistance,sinkage and trim.
