Tollmien Schlichting

A numerical study of the generation of Tollmien-Schlichting (T–S) waves due to the interaction between a small free-stream disturbance and a small localized variation of the surface geometry has been carried out using both finite–difference and spectral methods. The nonlinear steady flow is of the viscous–inviscid interactive type while the unsteady disturbed flow is assumed to be governed by the Navier–Stokes equations linearized about this flow. Numerical solutions illustrate the growth or decay of the T–S waves generated by the interaction between the free-stream disturbance and the surface distortion, depending on the value of the scaled Strouhal number. An important result of this receptivity problem is the numerical determination of the amplitude of the T–S waves.

Numerical Studies

The moving surface boundary control (MSBC) has been a Centre stage study for last 2-3 decades. The preliminary aim of the study was to ascertain whether the concept can improve the airfoil characteristics. Number of experimental and numerical studies pointed out that the MSBC can superiorly enhance the airfoil performance albeit for higher velocity ratios (i.e. cylinder tangential velocity to free stream velocity). Although abundant research has been undertaken in this area on different airfoil performances but no attempt was seen to study effect of MSBC on NACA0021 airfoil for and also effects of lower velocity ratios. Thus, present paper focusses on numerical study of modified NACA 0021 airfoil with leading edge rotating cylinder for velocity ratios (i.e.) between 1 to 1.78 at different angles of attack. The numerical study indicates that the modified airfoil possess better aerodynamic performance than the base airfoil even at lower velocity ratios (i.e. for velocity ratios 0.356 and beyond). The study also focusses on reason for improvement in aerodynamic performance by close look at various parameters.

In this paper, the 2D fluid flow pass a heated/cooled square cylinder exposed to a constant free-stream upward velocity is simulated via a multiple relaxation time (MRT) lattice-Boltzmann (LB) method. The buoyancy effect on the drag and lift coefficients as well as Nusselt number related is compared with the results in the existing literatures to validate the code used. The effect of temperature-viscosity dependence is then investigated to test whether the effect can be neglected or not for the mixed convection case. It is shown that the effect cannot be ignored when |Ri| > 0.15. Fortunately, the effect can be captured by using an effective temperature formula [J. M. Shi, D. Ferlach, M. Breuer, G. Biswas and F. Durst, Phys. Fluids16, 4331 (2004)] in a rather large range of Ri. All the numerical results, from another angle, also demonstrate that the MRT method is an efficient tool in simulating the problems such as the present one.

Damaged Ship

Abstract Ships sailing in the sea may encounter collision, grounding or projectile impacting accidents, which may cause hull damage and subsequent compartment flooding. Due to the effect of the flooding water induced moment and the restoring moment, the damaged ship may have inclination and rolling motion. When the inclination or the rolling motion is too large, it may affect the safety and survivability of ship in navigation and cause severe casualties and property losses. In order to increase the navigation safety and survivability of the damaged ship, a numerical model is established based on the potential flow theory to investigate the seakeeping performance of the damaged ship in two scenarios, i.e., the case before ship damaged, and the case when the damaged ship reaching a relatively stable floating state. The heave, pitch and roll motion responses and corresponding wave-induced loads acting on the ship are analyzed in regular waves. In addition, the effects of the navigation speed and the wave direction on the seakeeping performance are also investigated.

Early Design Stages

Ship maneuvering performance is usually predicted in calm water conditions, which provide valuable information about ship’s turning ability and its directional stability in the early design stages. Investigation of maneuvering simulation in waves is more realistic since the ship usually sails through waves. So it is important to study the effect of waves on the turning ability of a ship. This paper presents the maneuvering simulation for a container ship in presence of regular waves based on unified state space model for ship maneuvering. Standard maneuvers like turning circle and zigzag maneuver are simulated for the head sea condition and the same are compared with calm water maneuvers. The present study shows that wave significantly affects the maneuvering characteristics of the ship and hence cannot be neglected.

Critical Rotational Speed

The fluid dynamic interaction between a uniform free stream flow and the rotation induced flow from a sharp edged body is numerically investigated. A two-dimensional (2D) finite volume based computation is performed in this regard to simulate the laminar fluid flow around a rotating square cylinder in an unconfined medium. Body fitted grid system along with moving boundaries is used to obtain the numerical solution of the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations. The Reynolds number based on the free stream flow is kept in the range 10≤Re≤200 with a dimensionless rotational speed of the cylinder in the range 0≤Ω≤5. At low Re=10, the flow field remains steady irrespective of the rotational speed. For 50≤Re≤200, regular low frequency Kármán vortex shedding (VS) is observed up to a critical rate of rotation (Ωcr). Beyond Ωcr, the global flow shows steady nature, although high frequency oscillations in the aerodynamic coefficients are present. The rotating circular cylinder also shows likewise degeneration of Kármán VS at some critical rotational speed. However, significant differences can be seen at higher rotation. Such fluid dynamic transport around a spinning square in an unconfined free stream flow is reported for the first time.

 The hydrodynamic performance of porous breakwaters was studied by numerical analysis to assess reflection and transmission characteristics. The finite-difference method on BOUSS-2D was used to test the efficiency of porous breakwaters. The effects of porosity on reflection and transmission characteristics under the action of regular waves were investigated. The wave elevation time histories obtained from the numerical study were compared to those measured during an experimental study, on the leeward and seaward sides of the porous breakwater and were found to be in close agreement. The reflection coefficient increases, whereas the transmission coefficient decreases with a decrease in the porosity. A model with a porosity of 5.9% showed a maximum reflection coefficient of about 0.7 and a minimum transmission coefficient of 0.3. The details of the numerical method, physical model, model setup and results are discussed in this paper.
