Wavemotionsarounddifferentsubmergedstructures

Wave motions around different types of submerged structures are investigated by a numerical method, theboundary fitted coordinate method. The types of submerged structures include a submerged horizontal plate, submerged breakwaters (rectangular and trapezoidal) and a step-type structure (topography) . Water level fluctuations, wave height distributions, velocity fields and wave energies around submerged structures are studied comprehensively.

A first-order dynamical model of hierarchical triple stars and its application

For most hierarchical triple stars, the classical double two-body model of zeroth-order cannot describe the motions of the components under the current observational accuracy. In this paper, Marchal＇s first-order analytical solution is implemented and a more efficient simplified version is applied to real triple stars. The results show that, for most triple stars, the proposed first-order model is preferable to the zerothorder model both in fitting observational data and in predicting component positions.

BOUSSINESQ MODELLING OF NEARSHORE WAVES UNDER BODY FITTED COORDINATE

A set of nonlinear Boussinesq equations with fully nonlinearity property is solved numerically in generalized coordinates,to develop a Boussinesq-type wave model in dealing with irregular computation boundaries in complex nearshore regions and to facilitate the grid refinements in simulations.The governing equations expressed in contravariant components of velocity vectors under curvilinear coordinates are derived and a high order finite difference scheme on a staggered grid is employed for the numerical implementation.The developed model is used to simulate nearshore wave propagations under curvilinear coordinates,the numerical results are compared against analytical or experimental data with a good agreement.

NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF HYDRODYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS ON AN ARC CROWN WALL USING VOLUME OF FLUID METHOD BASED ON BFC

In the present study, a new algorithm based on the Volume Of Fluid （VOF） method is developed to simulate the hydrodynamic characteristics on an arc crown wall. Structured grids are generated by the coordinate transform method in an arbitrary complex region. The Navier-Stokes equations for two-dimensional incompressible viscous flows are discretized in the Body Fitted Coordinate （BFC） system. The transformed SIMPLE algorithm is proposed to modify the pressure-velocity field and a transformed VOF method is used to trace the free surface. Hydrodynamic characteristics on an arc crown wall are obtained by the improved numerical model based on the BFC system （BFC model）. The velocity field, the pressure field and the time profiles of the water surface near the arc crown wall obtained by using the BFC model and the Cartesian model are compared. The BFC model is verified by experimental results.

WAVE TRANSMISSION AND REFIECTION DUE TO A THIN VERTICAL BARRIER

WT5”BZ]A numerical method, the boundary fitted coordinate method (BFC), was used to investigate the transmission and reflection of water waves due to a rigid thin vertical barrier descending from the water surface to a depth, i.e., a curtain-wall type breakwater. A comparison between the present computed results and previous experimental and analytical results was carried out which verifies the prediction of the BFC method. Wave transmission and reflection due to the barrier were computed, and the transmission and refiection coefficients were given in a figure. [WT5”HZ]

A 3D measurement method based on multi-view fringe projection by using a turntable

In order to get the entire data in the optical measurement, a multi-view three-dimensional(3D) measurement method based on turntable is proposed. In the method, a turntable is used to rotate the object and obtain multi-view point cloud data, and then multi-view point cloud data are registered and integrated into a 3D model. The measurement results are compared with that of the sticking marked point method. Experimental results show that the measurement process of the proposed method is simpler, and the scanning speed and accuracy are improved.

NUMERICAL SOLUTIONS OF REYNOLDS AVERAGED NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS FOR 3-D TURBULENT FLOW OVER CONCAVE SURFACES OF DISCHARGING STRUCTURES

This paper is conserned with a numerical method for the solution of complete Reynolds averaged Navier Stokes equations for three dimensional flows over the concave surfaces of discharging structures. A non orthogonal body fitted coordinate system was used to deal with the complex physical geometry, and finite volume method (FVM) was employed to solve the convective transport equations for mean velocities and turbulence parameters (k, ε). It is indicated through the numerical example that the calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental ones, and it is also proved that this numerical method used to predict the characteristics of turbulent flow over the concave surfaces of discharging structures is feasible.
