Exciting Forces

General expressions, originally given by Haskind, are derived for the exciting forces on an arbitrary fixed body in waves. These give the exciting forces and moments in terms of the far-field velocity potentials for forced oscillations in calm water and do not depend on the diffraction potential, or the disturbance of the incident wave by the body. These expressions are then used to compute the exciting forces on a submerged ellipsoid, and on floating two-dimensional ellipses. For the ellipsoid, the problem is solved using the far-field potentials, and detailed results and calculations are given for the roll moment. The other forces agree, for the special case of a spheroid, with earlier results obtained by Havelock. In the case of two-dimensional motion the exciting forces are related to the wave amplitude ratio A for forced oscillations in calm water, and this relation is used to compute the heave exciting force for several elliptic cylinders. Expressions are also given relating the damping coefficients and the exciting forces.

Wave Exciting Forces

When the wavelength of the incident wave is short, the total surface potential on a floating body is found to be 2∅ i & O (m-l∅ i) on the lit surface and O (m-l∅ j) on the shadow surface where ~b i is the potential of the incident wave and m the wave number in water of finite depth. The present approximation for wave exciting forces and moments is reasonably good up to X/L ∅ 1 where h is the wavelength and L the characteristic length of the body.

Lift And Drag

This paper studies the lift and drag experienced by a body in a two-dimensional, viscous, compressible and steady flow. By a rigorous linear far-field theory and the Helmholtz decomposition of the velocity field, we prove that the classic lift formula $L=-{\it\rho}_{0}U{\it\Gamma}_{{\it\phi}}$, originally derived by Joukowski in 1906 for inviscid potential flow, and the drag formula $D={\it\rho}_{0}UQ_{{\it\psi}}$, derived for incompressible viscous flow by Filon in 1926, are universally true for the whole field of viscous compressible flow in a wide range of Mach number, from subsonic to supersonic flows. Here, ${\it\Gamma}_{{\it\phi}}$ and $Q_{{\it\psi}}$ denote the circulation of the longitudinal velocity component and the inflow of the transverse velocity component, respectively. We call this result the Joukowski–Filon theorem (J–F theorem for short). Thus, the steady lift and drag are always exactly determined by the values of ${\it\Gamma}_{{\it\phi}}$ and $Q_{{\it\psi}}$, no matter how complicated the near-field viscous flow surrounding the body might be. However, velocity potentials are not directly observable either experimentally or computationally, and hence neither are the J–F formulae. Thus, a testable version of the J–F formulae is also derived, which holds only in the linear far field. Due to their linear dependence on the vorticity, these formulae are also valid for statistically stationary flow, including time-averaged turbulent flow. Thus, a careful RANS (Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes) simulation is performed to examine the testable version of the J–F formulae for a typical airfoil flow with Reynolds number $Re=6.5\times 10^{6}$ and free Mach number $M\in [0.1,2.0]$. The results strongly support and enrich the J–F theorem. The computed Mach-number dependence of $L$ and $D$ and its underlying physics, as well as the physical implications of the theorem, are also addressed.

Heave Motion

A submerged two-dimensional rectangle in calm water with infinite depth is studied. The rectangle is oscillating in a heave motion. Negative added mass and sharp peaks in the damping and added-mass coefficients have been found when the submergence is small and the width of the shallow region on top of the rectangle is large. Resonant standing waves will occur in this area. A linear theory is developed to provide a relatively simple explanation of the occurrence of negative added mass for submerged bodies. The vertical hydrodynamic force is associated only with the flow in the shallow region, and the resulting pressure which acts on the top face of the rectangle. The results from this theory are compared with numerical results from the Frank method. The importance of the interaction effect between the top and the bottom of the body, which is neglected in the present theory, is discussed.

Scattering And Radiation

When a body interacts with small-amplitude surface waves in an ideal fluid, the resulting velocity potential may be split into a part due to the scattering of waves by the fixed body and a part due to the radiation of waves by the moving body into otherwise calm water. A formula is derived which expresses the two-dimensional scattering potential in terms of the heave and sway radiation potentials at all points in the fluid. This result generalizes known reciprocity relations which express quantities such as the exciting forces in terms of the amplitudes of the radiated waves. To illustrate the use of this formula beyond the reciprocity relations, equations are derived which relate higher-order scattering and radiation forces. In addition, an expression for the scattering potential due to a wave incident from one infinity in terms of the scattering potential due to a wave from the other infinity is obtained.

New Formulation

The application of the dynamical theory to the problem of a ship moving with constant forward speed on a free surface has been extended to include the exciting forces in oblique regular waves. As a result, it has become possible to derive a new formulation for the equations of motion, for a ship moving with five degrees of freedom. The application of the same theory has yielded formulas for the calculation of the mean added resistance and drift force in oblique regular waves and the calculation of all mean forces and moments for the forced oscillations of a ship in calm water.

Rotating Liquid

Starting with the equations of motion for a perfect, incompressible fluid referred to a coordinate system which rotates about a vertical axis with uniform angular velocity R , the physical condition of ‘small motion’ is determined which permits the equations to be linearized. The small motions resulting from forced oscillations of a rotating liquid are investigated. It is shown that there are three types of flow depending on the relative magnitudes of the impressed frequency β and the angular velocity R of the fluid. Two of the regimes are studied in detail. A similarity law is developed which gives the solution of a class of problems of oscillations for β > 2 R in terms of the solutions to similar irrotational problems. An attempt is made to explain how slow, two-dimensional motion can be produced by introducing a boundary condition which is three-dimensional (as observed in experiments performed by G. I. Taylor), by considering problems from the moment at which the disturbance is created from rest relative to the rotating system, with the only initial assumption that the fluid is rotating uniformly like a solid body. For the particular cases studied the results are in agreement with Taylor’s experiments, in that the flow is found to become steady and two-dimensional if the disturbance which causes it approaches a steady state. If the disturbance is due to a body which moves along the axis of rotation of the fluid, the steady two-dimensional behaviour may be expected everywhere except in the neighbourhood of the surface of an infinite cylinder which encloses the body and whose generators are parallel to the axis of rotation. To resolve an apparent disagreement between certain theoretical results by Grace on the one hand, and experimental evidence by Taylor and the author’s conclusions, on the other, arguments are advanced that the various results may be in agreement, provided Grace’s are given a new interpretation.

Steady Motions

A numerical analysis of a semi-displacement ship at high forward speed is performed by using a 2D+t theory. Time dependent two-dimensional (2D) boundary value problems are solved in space-fixed vertical planes by a Boundary Element Method (BEM). The steady advancing of the ship in the calm water is simulated, although the theory is also capable of solving the unsteady problem with forced oscillations in heave and/or pitch. The numerical results for the steady motions are compared with Keuning’s experiments [1]. The sectional vertical forces along the ship and the wave elevation around the ship hull are presented. The effects of non-viscous flow separation and the three-dimensional effects at the transom stern are discussed.

Dimensional Version

This paper discusses the application of the Ffowcs Williams/Hawkings equation to two-dimensional problems. A two-dimensional version of this equation is derived, which not only provides a very efficient way for numerical implementation, but also reveals explicitly the features of the source mechanisms and the characteristics of the far-field noise associated with two-dimensional problems. It is shown that the sources can be interpreted, similarly to those in three-dimensional spaces, as quadrupoles from turbulent flows, dipoles due to surface pressure fluctuations on the bodies in the flow and monopoles from non-vanishing normal accelerations of the body surfaces. The cylindrical spreading of the two-dimensional waves and their far-field directivity become apparent in this new version. It also explicitly brings out the functional dependence of the radiated sound on parameters such as the flow Mach number and the Doppler factor due to source motions. This dependence is shown to be quite different from those in three-dimensional problems. The two-dimensional version is numerically very efficient because the domains of the integration are reduced by one from the three-dimensional version. The quadrupole integrals are now in a planar domain and the dipole and monopole integrals are along the contours of the two-dimensional bodies. The calculations of the retarded-time interpolation of the integrands, a time-consuming but necessary step in the three-dimensional version, are completely avoided by making use of fast Fourier transform. To demonstrate the application of this, a vortex/airfoil interaction problem is discussed, which has many practical applications and involves important issues such as vortex shedding from the trailing edge.

Spring System

By studying dynamic characteristics of the leaf spring system, a new elastic component is designed to reduce the working load and to a certain extent to ensure the linearity as well as increase the amplitude in the vertical and horizontal directions in vibration screen. The modal parameters, amplitudes, and amplification factors of the leaf spring system are studied by simulation and experiment. The modal results show that the leaf spring system vibrates in horizontal and vertical directions in first and second mode shapes, respectively. It is conducive to loosening and moving the particles on the vibration screen. In addition, it is found that the maximum amplitude and amplification factor in the horizontal direction appear at 300 r/min (5 Hz) while those in the vertical direction appear at 480 r/min (8 Hz), which are higher than those in the disc spring system. Moreover, the amplitude of the leaf spring system increases proportionally with the increase of exciting force while the amplification factors are basically the same under different exciting forces, indicating the good linearity of the leaf spring system. Furthermore, the minimum exciting force occurs in the leaf spring system under the same amplitude by comparing the exciting force among different elastic components. The above works can provide guidance for the industrial production in vibration screen.

Medical Telemetry

The development of biomedical devices benefits patients by offering real-time healthcare. In particular, pacemakers have gained a great deal of attention because they offer opportunities for monitoring the patient’s vitals and biological statics in real time. One of the important factors in realizing real-time body-centric sensing is to establish a robust wireless communication link among the medical devices. In this paper, radio transmission and the optimal characteristics for impedance matching the medical telemetry of an implant are investigated. For radio transmission, an integral coupling formula based on 3D vector far-field patterns was firstly applied to compute the antenna coupling between two antennas placed inside and outside of the body. The formula provides the capability for computing the antenna coupling in the near-field and far-field region. In order to include the effects of human implantation, the far-field pattern was characterized taking into account a sphere enclosing an antenna made of human tissue. Furthermore, the characteristics of impedance matching inside the human body were studied by means of inherent wave impedances of electrical and magnetic dipoles. Here, we demonstrate that the implantation of a magnetic dipole is advantageous because it provides similar impedance characteristics to those of the human body.
