In order to calculate the mooring force of a new semi-submerged Ocean Farm quickly and accurately, based on the unsteady time-domain potential flow theory and combined the catenary model, the control equation of mooring cable is established, and the mooring force of the platform under the wave spectrum is calculated. First of all, based on the actual situation of the ocean environment and platform, the mooring design of the platform is carried out, and the failure analysis and sensitivity analysis of the single anchor chain by the time domain coupling method are adopted: including different water depth, cycle, pretension size, anchor chain layout direction and wind speed, etc. The analysis results confirm the reliability of anchoring method. Based on this, the mooring point location of the platform is determined, the force of each anchor chain in the anchoring process is calculated, and the mooring force and the number of mooring cables are obtained for each cable that satisfies the specification, the results of this paper can provide theoretical calculation methods for mooring setting and mooring force calculation of similar offshore platforms.

Potential Flow Theory

Waves generated by passing ships have potential adverse impacts on the environment (beach erosion, ecological disturbance, structures damage) and other waterway users (navigations, moored ships) in the coastal and sheltered areas. But issues related to waves of ships were addressed rarely in China until now. Accurate prediction of wash waves is the first step to control the washes from passing ships and it’s significant to reduce the effects of washes. A coupled method is used in this paper to simulate the washes and its effects caused by the passing ship. A potential flow theory method is adopted as the stationary wave generation model; a non-hydrostatic wave flow model is used as the wave propagation model; a time domain method is chosen as the model for simulating the forces and moments of mooring ship. The waves calculated by a potential flow theory method in the near field are used as the input for the non-hydrostatic wave-flow model to obtain the far field waves. A time-domain representation of the wave-cut at the location of the passing vessel is transformed to the frequency-domain and is used as the input for the diffraction computations. Parts of the calculated results are validated experimentally, satisfactory agreement is demonstrated.

Good Agreement

Theoretical and experimental flow fields of several extrusion ratios of lead in plane strain were compared. It was found that, for extrusion ratios where dead metal exists, the agreement between the potential and experimental flow nets was better for small reductions when a modified boundary approaching a flow line was used. It was also found that when the flow changed direction gradually, the potential flow net was in good agreement with the experimental one. The solution obtained is unique and complete.

When the bubble moves in the vicinity of a free surface, the movement will be affected by the buoyancy and the Bjerknes effect. Blake and Gibson proposed the criterion which determined the motion direction of the jet and the dynamics of bubble. They proposed the jet wouldn’t be formed in the condition that . Based on the potential flow theory, boundary element method (BEM) is used to calculate three typical examples in this paper in order to study the dynamics of the bubble under the combined action of the Bjerknes effect of the free surface and the buoyancy. It is found out during the analysis that the Blake criterion is applicable to predict the conditions that and .

Regular formulae for lateral aerodynamic force cannot give precise prediction under unsteady crosswind. By generalizing potential flow theory and taking the aerodynamic derivative into consideration, the semi-empirical expression for lateral aerodynamic force is derived. In order to determine the coefficients in the semi-empirical formula, the model of a typical double-deck coach is investigated in a sequence of numerical simulations under pure crosswind condition (i.e. linear crosswind, pseudo-step crosswind, sinusoidal crosswind). Moreover, advantages of the semi-empirical formula over the regular one are revealed. Further inspections into the flow field derived from the theory of vortex motion indicate that the deviation between the prediction given by semi-empirical formulae and that by numerical simulation is caused by the non-viscous assumption in potential flow theory. The lateral aerodynamic force depends linearly on the crosswind aerodynamic derivative. Situations in which the coach is moving in the direction perpendicular to the wind velocity are also studied to find the cause of the error in semi-empirical formula. Furthermore, the semi-empirical formula is revised by introducing the “damping model method”. A relatively complete system of prediction for lateral aerodynamic force on a coach, which is of practical engineering significance, has been constructed.

This paper is devoted on the application of the computational method for calculating the transient electromagnetic (EM) near-field (NF) radiated by electronic structures from the frequency-dependent data for the arbitrary wave form perturbations i(t). The method proposed is based on the fast Fourier transform (FFT). The different steps illustrating the principle of the method is described. It is composed of three successive steps: the synchronization of the input excitation spectrum I(f) and the given frequency data H0(f), the convolution of the two inputs data and then, the determination of the time-domain emissions H(t). The feasibility of the method is verified with standard EM 3D simulations. In addition to this method, an extraction technique of the time-dependent z-transversal EM NF component Xz(t) from the frequency-dependent x- and y- longitudinal components Hx(f) and Hy(f) is also presented. This technique is based on the conjugation of the plane wave spectrum (PWS) transform and FFT. The feasibility of the method is verified with a set of dipole radiations. The method introduced in this paper is particularly useful for the investigation of time-domain emissions for EMC applications by considering transient EM interferences (EMIs).
