Structural Aspects

Ordu-Giresun Airport, which has been constructed recently, being an example of the aviation sector of Turkish transportation network, is a project having marine structural aspects due to the construction at the sea by filling and in this workout physical model experiments of the project are evaluated. 3000-meters-long runway and the other superstructures of the airport, the first example of construction of such a structure by filling in the sea in Turkey, is to be protected by a breakwater of 7435 meters long. ‘First Cross Section’ has been prepared by using experimental formulas and artificial neural network and ‘Second Cross Section’, being the alternative of the first one has been planned. Yet, both cross sections have similar characteristics, they have berm heights in such a manner that ‘First Cross Section’ enables the structure to be constructed from the sea, whereas ‘Second Cross Section’ makes it possible from the land. Both cross sections are aimed to be evaluated in terms of stability, wave overtopping and economy through the hydraulic model studies performed at the Hydraulics Laboratory of Turkish Ministry of Transportation, Maritime Affairs and Communication. Starting from design stage (computation of design wave characteristics, physical model experiment under different wave conditions on different structure alternatives) to construction stage the engineering studies is presented with comparisons and discussions.

Lift And Drag

A case study was conducted to investigate and quantify stabiliser fin-hull interaction using a combination of Computational Fluid Dynamics and physical model experiments. The fin-hull interaction was studied by comparing the lift and drag of a stabiliser fin in a free stream condition and when attached to a hull. The findings of this case study showed that using free stream fin characteristics to predict performance of a stabiliser fin fitted to the hull resulted in an over-prediction of drag by up to 46% and under-prediction of lift by up to 75% for the speeds and angle of attack analysed. These discrepancies are for this case study only and in practice will vary for different hull forms, fin types, fin location and angles of attack. However, the research highlights the limitations of using free stream fin characteristics to predict the performance of a fin fitted to a hull.

The Finite Element Analysis

In this paper, based on the honeycomb floor damper of high-speed train, the finite element analysis was carried out on the floor damper, and we compared the experimental results with the physical model experiments. The results show that: when correction factor γ = 0.5, there is the minimum incremental error of vertical deformation, and the value of the damper parameters is the best at this time.
