Ship Flows

The Gothenburg 2000 was an international benchmark workshop for computational fluid dynamics applied to ship flows. Test cases were three modern hull forms. One case without a free surface focused on turbulence modeling, whereas wave prediction was of interest for the other two. Of the free-surface cases, one had an operating propeller. For the first time, verification and validation procedures were an integral part of such benchmark efforts in ship flows. The workshop showed that free-surface waves may now be well predicted also away from the hull. There is a general improvement in the computation of the stern flow thanks to better turbulence modeling, but there is still room for improvement. Full-scale viscous flows may be computed without numerical difficulties. Verification and validation procedures should be applied for uncertainty analysis, and there is a discussion of the uncertainty in the predicted integral quantities in the paper. Further detailed conclusions and recommendations are also given based on the comparison of extensive standardized plots of the comparative computations and evaluation of the integral quantities.

Order Of Magnitude

A novel pseudo-three-timescale asymptotic procedure is developed and implemented for obtaining accurate approximations to solutions of an evolution equation arising in thin-film free-surface viscous flow. The new procedure, which employs strained fast and slow timescales, requires considerably fewer calculations than its standard three-timescale counterpart employing fast, slow and slower timescales and may readily be applied to other evolution equations of fluid mechanics possessing wave-like solutions exhibiting exponential decay in amplitude and variations in phase over disparate timescales. The new method is validated on the evolution of free-surface waves on a thin, viscous film coating the exterior of a horizontal rotating cylinder and is shown to yield accurate solutions up to non-dimensional times exceeding by an order of magnitude those of previous related studies. Results of the new method applied to this test problem are demonstrated to be in excellent agreement, over large timescales, with those of corroborative spectrally accurate numerical integrations.

This paper contains a study of large amplitude, progressive interfacial waves moving between two infinite fluids of different densities. The highest wave has been calculated using the criterion that it has zero horizontal fluid velocity at the interface in a frame moving at the phase speed of the waves. For free surface waves this criterion is identical to the criterion due to Stokes, namely that there is a stagnation point at the crest of each wave. I t is found that as the density of the upper fluid increases relative to the density of the lower fluid the maximum height of the wave, for fixed wavelength, increases. The maximum height of a Boussinesq wave, which has the density almost the same above and below the interface, is 2·5 times the maximum height of a surface wave of the same wavelength. A wave with air over the top of it can be about 2% higher than the highest free surface wave. The point at which the limiting criterion is first satisfied moves from the crest for free surface waves to the point half-way between the crest and the trough for Boussinesq waves. The phase speed, momentum, energy and other wave properties are calculated for waves up to the highest using Padé approximants. For free surface waves and waves with air above the interface the maximum value of these properties occurs for waves which are lower than the highest. For Boussinesq waves and waves with the density of the upper fluid onetenth of the density of the lower fluid these properties each increase monotonically with the wave height.

Free Surface Waves

We present a theoretical model of the temperature distribution in the boundary layer region close to the seabed. Using a perturbation expansion, multiple scales and similarity variables, we show how free-surface waves enhance heat transfer between seawater and a seabed with a solid, horizontal, smooth surface. Maximum heat exchange occurs at a fixed frequency depending on ocean depth, and does not increase monotonically with the length and phase speed of propagating free-surface waves. Close agreement is found between predictions by the analytical model and a finite-difference scheme. It is found that free-surface waves can substantially affect the spatial evolution of temperature in the seabed boundary layer. This suggests a need to extend existing models that neglect the effects of a wave field, especially in view of practical applications in engineering and oceanography.
