Performance-based comparison of Yamada–Ota and Hamilton–Crosser hybrid nanofluid flow models with magnetic dipole impact past a stretched surface

The nanofluid flows play a vital role in many engineering processes owing to their notable industrial usage and excessive heat transfer abilities. Lately, an advanced form of nanofluids namely “hybrid nanofluids” has swapped the usual nanofluid flows to further augment the heat transfer capabilities. The objective of this envisaged model is to compare the performance of two renowned hybrid nanofluid models namely Hamilton–Crosser and Yamada–Ota. The hybrid nanoliquid (TiO2-SiC/DO) flow model is comprised of Titanium oxide (TiO2) and Silicon carbide (SiC) nanoparticles submerged into Diathermic oil (DO). The subject flow is considered over a stretched surface and is influenced by the magnetic dipole. The uniqueness of the fluid model is augmented by considering the modified Fourier law instead of the traditional Fourier law and slip conditions at the boundary. By applying the suitable similarity transformations, the system of ordinary differential equations obtained from the leading partial differential equations is handled by the MATLAB solver bvp4c package to determine the numerical solution. It is divulged that the Yamada–Ota model performs considerably better than the Hamilton–Crosser flow model as far as heat transfer capabilities are concerned. Further, the velocity reduces on increasing hydrodynamic interaction and slip parameters. It is also noted that both temperature profiles increase for higher hydrodynamic interaction and viscous dissipation parameters. The envisioned model is authenticated when compared with an already published result in a limiting case.

NON-DIMENSIONALISATION OF LATERAL DISTANCES BETWEEN VESSELS OF DISSIMILAR SIZES FOR INTERACTION EFFECT STUDIES

To date, most of the hydrodynamic interaction studies between a tug and a ship during ship assist manoeuvers have been carried out using model scale investigations. It is however difficult to establish how well results from these studies represent full scale interaction behaviour. This is further exacerbated by the lack of proven methodologies to non- dimensionalise the relative distances between the two vessels, enabling the comparison of model and full scale interaction effect data, as well as between vessels of dissimilar size ratios. This study investigates a suitable correlation technique to non-dimensionalise the lateral distance between vessels of dissimilar sizes, and a scaling option for interaction effect studies. It focuses on the interaction effects on a tug operating around the forward shoulder of a tanker at different lateral distances during ship assist operations. The findings and the non-dimensioning method presented in this paper enable the interaction effects determined for a given ship-to-tug ratio to be used to predict the safe operational distances for other ship-to-tug ratios.

SHIP-SHIP HYDRODYNAMIC INTERACTION IN CONFINED WATERS WITH COMPLEX BOUNDARIES BY A PANELLED MOVING PATCH METHOD

This paper presents a potential flow solution for online estimation of hydrodynamic interaction between ships moving in restricted waters with complex boundaries. Each ship in concern is linked with a moving patch representing the arbitrary bathymetry beneath it. The wetted surfaces of ship hulls are meshed and loaded prior to the simulation, while the moving patches are dynamically discretized by a fast and robust mesh generator. The proposed method is validated for the ship- ship interaction case in the shallow water case with a flat and horizontal seabed where the mirror image technique is applicable, and satisfactory agreement is obtained. The method is further applied to simulate two interaction scenarios involving arbitrary seabed topography, and the numerical results are obtained and discussed.

INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF A DISTRIBUTED SIMULATION FOR NAVAL SHIP REPLENISHMENT AT SEA

Navies from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom collaborated to develop and validate a distributed simulation of ship replenishment at sea. The simulation models the seaway, ship motions including hydrodynamic interaction effects between ships, and the transfer of a solid payload between ships using replenishment gear. The simulation was developed using the High Level Architecture (HLA), which facilitates sharing of data and synchronization of simulation time among software components on networked computers. Simulation results were validated using experimental data. The project demonstrated successful application of distributed simulation to complex naval platform systems. Lessons learned are shared for several areas, including seaway modelling, ship hydrodynamic interaction, and planning of model tests and sea trials for simulation validation.

CALCULATION OF THE HYDRODYNAMIC INTERACTION BETWEEN TWO ENCOUNTERING BODIES IN COUPLING MULTI-FREEDOM MOTIONS

ellipsoids are taken as an example. By coupling the motion equations of the two bodies and the fluid flow equations, the interaction forces and moments are calculated, and the tracks are predicted. The numerical results for the model fixed motion (only free to surge) at constant speed are compared with those published in literature for the validation of the method proposed in this paper, and good agreement is found. On this basis, more complicated multi-degree of freedom motions in surge, sway and yaw directions induced by the interaction effects are simulated. By systematically comparing and analyzing the numerical results obtained at different speeds, lateral distances and body sizes, the influences of speed and lateral distance and body size The sway and yaw motion will be induced additionally due to the interaction effects when two encountering bodies sail in close proximity, which may lead to the collision accident. In the present study, two on the hydrodynamic forces are elucidated.

HYDRODYNAMIC INTERACTION BETWEEN SHIPS AND RESTRICTED WATERWAYS

In open and unrestricted waters the water displaced by a forward sailing vessel can travel without major obstruction underneath and along the ship. In restricted and shallow sailing conditions, the displaced water is squeezed between the hull and the bottom and/or the bank. This results in higher flow velocities and as a consequence a pressure drop around the same hull. In the vicinity of a bank this pressure drop generates a combination of forces and moments on the vessel, known as bank effects. The major achievement of the presented research is the development of a realistic and robust formulation for these bank effects. This knowledge is acquired with an extensive literature study on one hand and with dedicated model tests carried out in different towing tanks on the other. The majority of the utilised model tests were carried out in the shallow water towing tank at Flanders Hydraulics Research in Antwerp, Belgium. The data set on bank effects consists of more than 8 000 unique model test setups (which is by far the most elaborate research ever carried out on this subject). These model tests provide the input for the analysis of bank effects and the creation of the mathematical model.

TRANSIENT ANALYSIS OF HYDRODYNAMIC INTERACTION EFFECTS ON AN AUTONOMOUS UNDERWATER VEHICLE IN PROXIMITY OF A MOVING SUBMARINE

When an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) is operating close to a moving submarine, the hydrodynamic interaction between the two vehicles can prevent the AUV from maintaining its desired trajectory. This can lead to mission failure and, in extreme cases, collision with the submarine. This paper outlines the transient interaction influence on the hydrodynamic coefficients of an AUV operating in close proximity and in relative motion to a larger moving submarine. The effects of relative motion on the interaction behaviour were investigated via two manoeuvres, i.e. the AUV overtaking and being overtaken by the submarine at different relative forward velocities and lateral distances. The results presented are from a series of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations on axisymmetric AUV and submarine hull forms, with validation of the CFD model carried out through scaled captive model experiments. The results showed that an AUV becomes less susceptible to the interaction influence when overtaking at speeds higher than the submarine. The implications of the interaction influence on the AUV’s ability to safely manoeuvre around the submarine are also discussed.

Study the influence of ship length ratio on ship to ship interaction on moving in parallel on their hydrodynamic characteristics

Суда в некоторых случаях эксплуатации могут двигаться в непосредственной близости друг от друга. Такой сценарий обычно связан с изменением полей давления и скорости вблизи корпуса судов, в результате чего возникают гидродинамические силы и моменты взаимодействия, которые сильно зависит от относительной длины. В этой статье была проведена серия систематических расчётов на двух корпусах KVLCC2, движущихся на большой глубине в безветренную погоду с одинаковой постоянной малой скоростью, не превышающей 4 уз., чтобы исследовать влияние отношения длин на силы и моменты гидродинамического взаимодействия. OpenFOAM, пакет CFD с открытым исходным кодом использовался для организации и проведения расчётов. Метод осреднения по Рейнольдсу уравнений Навье-Стокса (RANS) применялся для моделирования турбулентности. Хорошо известная модель турбулентности использовалась для замыкания уравнений Навье-Стокса. Числовые результаты, касающиеся поля скоростей и гидродинамического следа за судами, были обработаны, проанализированы, сопоставлены и показали хорошее согласование с экспериментальными результатами. Ships, during the lightering operations, are forced to sail in a close position to each other, such a scenario generally associates with a change in the pressure and velocity fields surrounding their hulls, as a result, interaction hydrodynamic forces and moments are generated which are strongly related to the relative length of the interacted ships. In this paper, a series of systematic computations were performed on two KVLCС2 hulls advancing in deep and calm water with the same constant low speed (full scale speed 4kt) in order to investigate the influence of the length ratio on the hydrodynamic interaction forces and moments during the lightering operation. OpenFOAM, an open-source CFD packet was used for carrying out the simulations, Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) method was used for turbulence modeling and the well-known turbulent model k-ω SST was used to close RANS equations. Numerical results have been post-processed, analyzed, compared and found to be of a good agreement with the experimental results. The velocity fields and wake were presented and analyzed.

EFFECT OF ARTERIOLAR DISTENSIBILITY ON THE LATERAL MIGRATION OF LIQUID-FILLED MICROPARTICLES FLOWING IN A HUMAN ARTERIOLE

A promising advance of bioengineering consists in the development of micro-nanoparticles as drug delivery vehicles injected intravenously or intraarterialy for targeted treatment. Proficient functioning of drug carries is conditioned by a reliable prediction of pharmacokinetics in human as well as their dynamical behavior once injected in blood stream. In this study, we aim to provide a reliable numerical prediction of dynamical behavior of microparticles in human arteriole focusing on the crucial mechanism of lateral migration. The dynamical response of the microparticle upon blood flow and arteriolar distensibility is investigated by varying main controlling parameters: viscosity ratio, confinement and capillary number. The influence of the hyperelastic arteriolar wall is highlighted through comparison with an infinitely rigid arteriolar wall. The hydrodynamic interaction in a microparticle train is examined. Fluid–structure interaction is solved by the Arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian method using the COMSOL Multiphysics software.
