In view of the expansion and directional change mechanisms of Yangtze River water diluted with sea water in the shelf region (also known as Changjiang diluted water [CDW]) during summer and autumn, a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model of the Yangtze River Estuary (YRE) and its adjacent waters was established based on the Finite Volume Community Ocean Model (FVCOM). Compared with the measured data, the model accurately simulates the hydrodynamic characteristics of the YRE. On that basis, the influence of the expansion patterns of the CDW in both summer and autumn was studied. It was found that, in 2019, the CDW expanded to the northeast in the summer and to the southeast in the autumn, and that the route of the CDW is mainly controlled by the wind, not the runoff. Current seasonal winds also change the transportation route of the CDW by affecting its hydrodynamic field. Typhoons are frequent in both summer and autumn, causing abnormalities in both the transportation route and expansion of the CDW. During a typhoon, a large amount of the CDW is transported in a continuous and abnormal manner, accelerating the path turning of the CDW. This paper enhances the existing theoretical research of the CDW and provides a reference with respect to the expansion of diluted water all over the world.

A numerical study on flow over a stationary deep-draft semi-submersible (DDS) with various corner shapes was carried out to investigate the corner shape effects on the overall hydrodynamics. Three models based on a typical DDS design with different corner shapes were numerically investigated under 45° incidence. The present numerical model has been validated by an experimental test carried out in a circulating water channel. It is demonstrated that, as the corner shape design changed, the hydrodynamic characteristics alter drastically. In addition, the flow patterns were examined to reveal some insights of the fluid physics due to the changing of different corner shape designs. The detailed numerical results from the geometric study will provide a good guidance for future practical designs.

Fe Model Updating

Finite element (FE) model updating is now recognized as an effective approach to reduce modeling inaccuracies present in an FE model. FE model updating has been researched and studied well for updating FE models of purely structural dynamic systems. However there exists another class of systems known as vibro-acoustics in which acoustic response is generated in a medium due to the vibration of enclosing structure. Such systems are commonly found in aerospace, automotive and other transportation applications. Vibro-acoustic FE modeling is essential for sound acoustic design of these systems. Vibro-acoustic system, in contrast to purely structural system, has not received sufficient attention from FE model updating perspective and hence forms the topic of present paper. In the present paper, a method for finite element model updating of coupled structural acoustic model, constituted as a problem of constrained optimization, is proposed. An objective function quantifying error in the coupled natural frequencies and mode shapes is minimized to estimate the chosen uncertain parameters of the system. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated through a numerical study on a 3D rectangular cavity attached to a flexible panel. The material property and the stiffness of joints between the panel and rectangular cavity are used as updating parameters. Robustness of the proposed method under presence of noise is investigated. It is seen that the method is not only able to obtain a close match between FE model and corresponding ‘measured’ vibro-acoustic characteristics but is also able to estimate the correction factors to the updating parameters with reasonable accuracy.
