Abstract A numerical simulation of the hydrodynamic interaction and attitude of a ship and two ships of different sizes navigating in parallel in waves were carried out in this paper. The study of the two ships navigating in parallel is of great significance in marine replenishment. This paper used in house computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code to solve unsteady RANS equation coupled with six degrees of freedom (6DOF) solid body motion equations. URANS equations are solved by finite difference method and PISO algorithm. Structured grid with overset technology have been used to make computations. Turbulence models used the Shear Stress Transport (SST) k-ω model. The method used for free surface simulation is single phase level set. In this paper, two DTMB 5415 with different scales are selected for simulation analysis. This paper analyzed the impact of the big ship on the small ship when the two ships were navigating in parallel. This paper also analyzed the relationship between interaction and velocity between hulls, which has certain guiding significance for the ship’s encounter on the sea.

The Impact

The impact of seismicity on structures is one of the key problems of civil engineering. According to recent knowledge, the reliable analysis should be based on both rotational and translational components of the seismic wave. To determine the six degrees of freedom (6-DoF) characteristic of mining-induced seismicity, two sets of seismic posts were installed in the Lower Silesian Copper Basin, Poland. Long-term continuous 6-DoF measurements were conducted with the use of the R-1 rotational seismometer and EP-300 translational seismometer. In result data collection, the waveforms generated by 39 high-energy seismic events were recorded. The characteristic of the rotational component of the seismic waves were described in terms of their amplitude and frequency characteristics and were compared with translational measurements. The analysis indicated that the characteristic of the rotational component of the seismic wave differs significantly in comparison to translational ones, both in terms of their amplitude and frequency distribution. Also, attenuation of rotational and translational components was qualitatively compared. Finally, the empirical formulas for seismic rotation prediction in the Lower Silesian Copper Basin were developed and validated.

Submarine is usually equipped with two different control device arrangements, namely a cruciform and a X rudder configuration. In this paper, numerical simulations of the DARPA Suboff submarine and its retrofitted submarine with a X rudder configuration are presented. Turning simulations in model scale were studied to compare the turning abilities of the two different control device arrangements. The computations were performed with a house viscous CFD solver based on the conservative finite difference method. In the solver, RANS equation are solved coupled with six degrees of freedom (6DOF) solid body motion equations of the submarine in real time. The structured dynamic overlapping grids were used to simulate the real-time changes of the attitude of the submarine and the rotation of the rudder. The volume force method was used to replace the real propeller to realize the self-propelled movement of submarine. In the free running maneuvering simulations, the submarines move at the same initial velocity and rudder angle, restricted to the horizontal plane with four degrees of freedom (4DOF). Comparisons of the trajectory and kinematic parameters including relative turning radius and turning period between the two cases were presented in this paper. The results show that, compared with the cruciform rudder configuration, the X rudder configuration has obvious advantages for submarine in the turning abilities.

In this study, the six-degrees-of-freedom flight motion of a tail-controlled bank-to-turn aircraft with two flaps is described as a nonlinear control system. The controllability of this flap-controlled system is analyzed based on nonlinear controllability theory and the system is proved to be weakly controllable. By choosing the angle-of-attack and roll angle as the outputs of this control system, the zero dynamics of the system are analyzed using Lyapunov stability theory, and are proved to be stable under some conditions given by an inequality. Then an autopilot is designed for this system using the feedback linearization technique. Results of the numerical simulation for this control system show the effectiveness of the controllability analysis and autopilot design.

Abstract The key objective of this paper is to perform a fully nonlinear unsteady RANS simulation to predict the self-propulsion performance of KCS at two different scales. This simulations are performed at design speeds in calm water, using inhouse computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to solve RANS equation coupled with two degrees of freedom (2DOF) solid body motion equations including heave and pitch. The SST k-ω turbulence equation is discretized by finite difference method. The velocity pressure coupling is solved by PISO algorithm. Computations have used structured grid with overset technology. The single-phase level-set method is used to capture the free surface. The simulations of self-propulsion are based on the body-force method. The PID control method is applied to match the speed of KCS by changing the propeller rotation speed automatically. In this paper, the self-propulsion factors of KCS at two scales are predicted and the results from inhouse CFD code are compared with the EFD date, and then the reasons for the scale effect have been discussed.

Abstract The dangerous situation caused by the breakage of the ship will pose a serious threat to crew and ship safety. If the ship’s liquid cargo or fuel leaks, it will cause serious damage to the marine environment. If damage occurs accompanied by roll and other motions, it may cause more dangerous consequences. It is an important issue to study the damaged ship in time-domain. In this paper, the motions of the damaged DTMB 5512 in calm water and regular beam waves are studied numerically. The ship motions are analyzed through CFD methods, which are acknowledged as a reliable approach to simulate and analyze these complex physical phenomena. An in-house CFD (computational fluid dynamics) code HUST-Ship (Hydrodynamic Unsteady Simulation Technology for Ship) is used for solving RANS equations coupled with six degrees of freedom (6DOF) solid body motion equations. RANS equations discretized by finite difference method and solved by PISO algorithm. Level set was used for free surface simulation. The dynamic behavior of model was observed in both intact and damaged condition. The heave, roll and pitch amplitudes of the damaged ship were studied in calm water and beam wave of three wavelengths.

Submarine surfacing in waves is three dimensional unsteady motion and includes complex coupling between force and motion. This paper uses computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to solve RANS equation with coupled six degrees of freedom solid body motion equations. RANS equations are solved by finite difference method and PISO arithmetic. Level-set method is used to simulate the free surface. Computations were performed for the standard DARPA SUBOFF model. The structured dynamic overset grid is applied to the numerical simulation of submarine surfacing (no forward speed) in regular waves and computation cases include surfacing in the calm water, transverse regular waves with different ratio of wave height and submarine length (h/L = 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04) and transverse regular waves with different ratio of wave length and submarine length (λ/L = 0.5, 1, 1.5). The asymmetric vortices in the process of submarine surfacing can be captured. It proves that roll instability is caused by the destabilizing hydrodynamic rolling moment overcoming the static righting moment both under the water and in regular waves. Relations among maximum roll angle, surfacing velocity fluctuation and wave parameters are concluded by comparison with variation trend of submarine motion attitude and velocity of surfacing in different wave conditions. Simulation results confirm that wave height h/L = 0.04 and wave length λ/L = 1.5 lead to surfacing velocity fluctuation significantly. Maximum roll angle increases with the increase of wave height and wave length. Especially the law presents approximate linear relationship. Maximum roll angle with wave height (h/L = 0.04) can reach to 7.29° while maximum roll angle with wave length (λ/L = 1.5) can reach to 5.79° by contrast with 0.85° in calm water. According to the above conclusions, maneuverability can be guided in the process of submarine surfacing in waves in order to avoid potential safety hazard.
