Wave glider comprises fin system, tether and float which harvest all of its energy from waves and sun to produce forward thrust. As a consequence of the lack of design information and data for the wave glider, the main aim of the study is using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to present a method to predict calm water resistance for the floating hull through calculations of 3 different hull forms using the same mesh generation under the same conditions. Calculations are carried out using 3 different mesh sizes for Froude number in the range of 0.10 to 0.40 and compared for accuracy of the solution parameters. Wigley parabolic hull, high speed round bilge form (NPL) and Series 60 have been comparatively investigated in order to estimate the hydrodynamics performance of the hull. The linear seakeeping analysis, coupled heave and pitch motions, roll motion, in irregular waves, with one parameter Bretschneider and JONSWAP spectra. Numerical computations have been performed for motion response predictions of the three hulls which cover wave angles from 0? to 180? at 45? intervals for six different forward speeds from 0 to 4.304 knots using Maxsurf Motion software. The close agreement between the numerical predictions shows the importance of CFD applications in estimating the hydrodynamics performance to design the floating hull and the numerical method is useful in glider design. The fine grid is fit to the calculation and shows the most appropriate results because convergent results are obtained as the mesh size decrease so the fine grid is the one which will be applied for the other hulls. Also it can be observed that the added resistance and the RAOs for NPL hull are less than the other hulls. Therefore from the comparisons, the NPL hull is the optimum hull compared to the other hulls from the resistance and seakeeping point of view.展开更多

Seakeeping a...The numerical modelling of the interactions between water waves and floating structures is significant for different areas of the marine sector, especially seakeeping and prediction of wave-induced loads. Seakeeping analysis involving severe flow fluctuations is still quite challenging even for the conventional RANS method. Particle method has been viewed as alternative for such analysis especially those involving deformable boundary, wave breaking and fluid fragmentation around hull shapes. In this paper, the weakly compressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics(WCSPH), a fully Lagrangian particle method, is applied to simulate the symmetric radiation problem for a stationary barge treated as a flexible body. This is carried out by imposing prescribed forced simple harmonic oscillations in heave, pitch and the two-and three-node distortion modes. The resultant,radiation force predictions, namely added mass and fluid damping coefficients, are compared with results from 3-D potential flow boundary element method and 3-D RANS CFD predictions, in order to verify the adopted modelling techniques for WCSPH.WCSPH were found to be in agreement with most results and could predict the fluid actions equally well in most cases.展开更多

The coupling between sloshing loads and ship motions is modelled through a hybrid algorithm which combines a potential flow solution based on transient Green function for the external ship hydrodynamics with a viscous flow solution based on a multiphase interface capturing volume of fluid(VOF) technique for the interior sloshing motion. The coupled algorithm accounts for full nonlinear slosh forces while the external forces on the hull are determined through a blended scheme of linear radiationdiffraction with nonlinear Froude-Krylov and restoring forces. Consideration of this level of nonlinearities in ship motions is found to have non-negligible effects on the slosh-coupled responses and slosh-induced loads. A scheme is devised to evaluate the statistical measure of the pressures through long-duration simulation studies in extreme irregular waves. It is found that coupling significantly influences the tank interior pressures, and the differences in the pressures between coupled and uncoupled cases can be as much as 100% or more. To determine the RAO over the frequency range needed for the simulation studies in irregular waves, two alternative schemes are proposed, both of which require far less computational time compared to the conventional method of finding RAO at each frequency, and the merits of these are discussed.展开更多

This coupling is traditionally resolved in a partitioned manner by solving the rigid body motion equations once per nonlinear correction loop, updating the position of the body and solving the fluid flow equations in the new configuration. The partitioned approach requires a large number of nonlinear iteration loops per time–step. In order to enhance the coupling, a monolithic approach is proposed in Finite Volume(FV) framework,where the pressure equation and the rigid body motion equations are solved in a single linear system. The coupling is resolved by solving the rigid body motion equations once per linear solver iteration of the pressure equation, where updated pressure field is used to calculate new forces acting on the body, and by introducing the updated rigid body boundary velocity in to the pressure equation. In this paper the monolithic coupling is validated on a simple 2D heave decay case. Additionally, the method is compared to the traditional partitioned approach(i.e. "strongly coupled" approach) in terms of computational efficiency and accuracy. The comparison is performed on a seakeeping case in regular head waves, and it shows that the monolithic approach achieves similar accuracy with fewer nonlinear correctors per time–step. Hence, significant savings in computational time can be achieved while retaining the same level of accuracy.展开更多

The ship waves generated by a hull advancing at a constant forward speed in incident waves and the resultant diffraction forces acting on the hull are computed to investigate the hull-form effects on the hydrodynamic forces. A rectangular computational domain travelling at ship's speed is considered. An artificial damping beach for satisfying the radiation condition is installed at the outer portion of the free surface except the downstream side. An iterative time-marching scheme is employed for updating both kinematic and dynamic free-surface boundary conditions for numerical accuracy and stability. The boundary integral equation is solved by distributing higher-order boundary elements over the wetted body surface and the free surface. The hull-form effects on the naval hydrodynamics are investigated by comparing three different Wigley models. Finally, the corresponding unsteady wave patterns and the wave profiles around the hulls are illustrated and discussed.展开更多
