Analytic method for nonlinear wave generation by a wavemaker that is somewhat different from the nonlinear theory of Schäffer is proposed. The method that is based on the Nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation and the nonlinear boundary condition at the wavemaker is free of 2nd order limitation inherent to the existing wavemaker theories. Advantages offered by the NLS model allowed simplification of the expressions for determination of the wavemaker driving signal and thus made them easily applicable in practice. The nonlinear correction to the wavemaker driving signal is calculated from the complex surface elevation envelope obtained as a solution of the NLS equation at the prescribed location in the wave flume. The domain of applicability of the generation method was determined on the basis of numerous experiments in the wave flume. A very good generation of the required wave train shape was obtained for sufficiently narrow-banded wave trains.

A series of directly numerical simulations of potential Euler equation have been performed using high-order spectral (HOS) method, to investigate the nonlinear wave statistics and the probability of rogue wave occurrence in crossing sea states. Several typical crossing sea states in deep water with different wave steepness are chosen for the computations. The ensemble statistical properties for those crossing waves are measured, including the temporal evolution of directional and omnidirectional wave spectra, exceedance probability of wave crest amplitude, as well as the kurtosis and skewness of free surface elevations. Particular attention is paid to the correlation between kurtosis and rogue wave occurrence. Our numerical results suggest that the global wave steepness plays a significant role in the statistical properties of crossing seas. Results also show the dependence of rogue wave occurrence probability on the kurtosis of free surface elevations.

In extreme weather permanently moored FPSOs may be overtopped by large amounts of greenwater, resulting in damage to deck structures and downtime. Thus, the preliminary design process for FPSOs has often included structural protection to mitigate loads from greenwater on deck and ensure structural integrity of top side structures at the bow in harsh sea conditions. This paper numerically investigates greenwater at the bow of an FPSO fitted with a ‘whaleback’ or ‘duck-bill’ shaped forecastle that is represented as an angled extension to the freeboard. In this study, the whaleback forecastle is intended to completely deflect the greenwater flow off the forecastle head. Previously validated numerical models based on OpenFOAM, an open source Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) package, are used. The (vertical) run-up height and the forces on the whaleback are analysed based on the CFD results to quantify the effectiveness of the design. It is found that the parameter tan β (FE/λp) that combines the coupled effect of the whaleback geometry and the incoming wave is important for determining the run-up height. The use of this parameter leads to a crude method for fast estimates of the effectiveness of such structures. Increase of the slope of the whaleback forecastle increases the run-up height, thus, increases the horizontal greenwater loading on such structure, however, the direct effect of the slope on the horizontal greenwater loading is found to be limited. An opposite trend is observed for the vertical greenwater loading in which the forecastle slope still plays a significant role even if the effect of run-up height is excluded, as a result of overtopping volume. Additionally, the vertical component of greenwater loading dominates the total greenwater loading on the whaleback forecastle.

Spar is one of the promising floating structures which support wind turbine at sea. In general, some lower part of spar is used as a ballast tank. It is possible to replace this part with other shapes without water-tightness because this part does not contribute to buoyancy nor stability to support the weight or heeling moment of wind turbine. In the field of oil and gas production, truss spar has been developed with this concept and the lower part consists of heave plates. However, for wind turbine, pitching motion is more important than heaving. The authors changed this part to four vertical damping plates to reduce this motion. The effect of the central gap and holes in the damping plates were investigated because these parameters have effects on flow separation and hydrodynamic forces. The motions in waves of the new spars were compared with a classic spar of the same dimensions and stability. The proposed vertical damping plates, with central gap or holes, work to reduce the pitching motion in wide range of wave frequency. Considering the expected cost reduction and some motion reduction, the promising nature of the proposed spar revealed.

Linear diffraction modelling of irregular wave structure interaction is standard practice in both the frequency and time domains for fixed and floating bodies. This has been extended for the modular wave energy converter M4 with multiple floats and power take offs. In the time domain second-order forces assuming a stationary body have been added for floating wind energy platforms. This misses second-order, including mean, effects due to radiation damping, drag forces and the mechanical damping of wave energy conversion. If these are linearized they may be included in a frequency domain analysis. However mechanical damping and mooring forces on slack-moored platforms are generally highly nonlinear and time domain analysis is required. In this paper response is first computed with linear analysis and mechanical damping which has been shown to give reasonable prediction of experimental measurement for the response and power output of M4. The response gives the absorbed energy flux due to mechanical and radiation damping which is converted into a mean force through an average wave celerity. The model is extended to include a mooring and these mean forces; the computation is then repeated. The mean forces have negligible effect on response and associated power take off but determine the mooring forces. For a slack mooring zero stiffness is assumed. Comparing with wave basin experiments for the 6-float M4 configuration in operational conditions, mean mooring forces are generally underestimated, markedly for larger periods.

The Flow-Induced Motions (FIM) is an essential topic on multi-column platforms due to the effect on the mooring line fatigue life. Vortex-Induced Motions (VIM) or galloping behavior can be observed for an array of four columns with square sections. The presence of pontoons showed to be important for changing the flow around the array and promote different amplitude behavior of the motions in the transverse direction mainly. This article aims to understand the effect of the presence of two pontoons on the FIM of a semi-submersible platform (SS) with four columns and square sections. Model tests of a floating system supported elastically utilizing four springs were performed in a towing tank. Five different pontoon ratios were tested, namely P/L = 0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00; where P is the pontoon height, and L is the length of the square column face. The draft condition was kept constant as H/L = 1.5; where H is the draft of the platform. The spacing ratio of the columns was S/L = 4; where S is the distance between column centers. Three incidence angles of the current were carried out, i.e., 0-deg incidence represents the condition in which the two pontoons are aligned to the current, 45-deg incidence represents the non-symmetric condition in which the pontoons are 45 degrees positioned to the current, and 90-deg incidence represents the condition in which the two pontoons are perpendicular to the current. The transverse amplitudes decreased with increasing the pontoon ratio for 0 and 45-deg incidences. On the other hand, the transverse amplitudes increased with increasing the pontoon ratio for 90-deg incidence. The pontoon presence needs to be well investigated to choose the best condition to avoid raising the FIM.

Using marine renewable energy can contribute providing the energy instead of using fossil fuel. There are some types of marine renewable energy. Wave energy is one of these and no one doubts its vast potential once they glance the sea. The object of this paper is an array of Point Absorber Wave Energy Converters (PA-WECs). In the array, complex hydrodynamic interactions among the array will occur. The interaction influences the wave power density among the array both increase and decrease. When we consider the maximization of generated electric power of the array, the suitable choice of the control force of the generator taken into a positive effect of the hydrodynamic interactions is the key. In the past research, as for a detection of the suitable control force of a single PA-WEC it has been shown the analytical solution within linear system. In this paper, we show the numerical solution of the control force parameter for maximizing the generated electric power of the array taking the hydrodynamic interaction among the array both in diffraction and radiation problem into account. Then we carried out the numerical examination and discussed the good arrangement of an array in waves based on the proposed method and an effect of the choice of the best and better control force.

A global search optimization system is applied to the design of a horizontal axis tidal current turbine with shroud. 11 design parameters of the turbine blade and 4 design parameters of the shroud casing are considered for the optimization using a genetic algorithm. In order to reduce the simulation cost, a neural network is applied as the meta-model of the RANS (Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes) equation solver. Multi-objectives of the power coefficient at different tip speed ratios are applied to cover a wide operating range of the turbine. The CFD (Computational fluid dynamics) for optimization is validated experimentally for the case of a baseline design, and an optimum design is proposed. In this paper, a static structural analysis has been performed, and its robustness is confirmed under several operating conditions. Furthermore, internal flow of the optimized turbine is discussed in detail. It is found that the optimized blade generates a swirling flow and suppresses flow separation at the diffuser wall. The wide angle of the diffuser successfully achieves a high pressure recovery ratio and results in a high level of suction at the inlet of the turbine. It is found that the high-performance tidal turbine is possible to design if both the blade and the shroud diffuser are optimized at the same time.

Wave breaking is one of the most violent phenomena observed in air-water interface interactions. This phenomenon commonly occurs in real ship flows and is one of the main sources of underwater noise and white-water wakes. The investigation of this phenomenon is thus important in ship and ocean engineering. The performance of a two-phase flow solver is investigated for a simulation of spilling breaking waves generated by a shallowly submerged hydrofoil (NACA0024) in a uniform flow. An algebraic Volume of Fluid (AVOF) method is applied to capture the dynamic behaviour of the free surface and a standard k-ε turbulence model is selected to capture the turbulent flow around and downstream of the hydrofoil. The wave profiles, pressure and velocity contours are computed to investigate the overall flow conditions and a detailed analysis of the flow field downstream of the hydrofoil is conducted in terms of velocity components and turbulence intensities at six measurement sections. A comparison of the numerical and experimental results shows that an accurate representation of the free surface and the turbulent flow beneath it is obtained with the present numerical scheme. It is expected that the systematic documentation of the performance of the AVOF two-phase solver will enable its more accurate and optimal use for simulating ship-related flows, as well as increase awareness of its potential shortcomings for those interested in general CFD simulation of breaking waves.

With the long-term goal of developing an ensemble forecast system for coastal flooding, we are developing a dynamically-based, numerical model of the global ocean. The model is based on the NEMO framework and has been used to predict global tides and surges in previous studies. This study focuses on the optimization of the joint prediction of both tides and surges, the two main components of total water level that cause coastal flooding. To improve the predictions of the tide we use a modified form of “spectral nudging”. We show this leads to significant improvements in the prediction of the M2 tide in the open ocean, and also in the shallow regions closer to shore where the model is not nudged. The median value of the vector difference of the tidal amplitude based on sea level observations and a data-assimilative model, and the predictions of our ocean model, is reduced from 11.2 cm to 2.66 cm by the nudging. The improvement deteriorates significantly however if additional tidal constituents are included in the model (most notably S2). This is explained in terms of spectral leakage between tidal bands associated with the nudging methodology and a straightforward solution is proposed.

The model is based on the NEMO framework and has been used to predict global tides and surges in previous studies. This study focuses on the optimization of the joint prediction of both tides and surges, the two main components of total water level that cause coastal flooding. To improve the predictions of the tide we use a modified form of “spectral nudging”. We show this leads to significant improvements in the prediction of the M2 tide in the open ocean, and also in the shallow regions closer to shore where the model is not nudged. The median value of the vector difference of the tidal amplitude based on sea level observations and a data-assimilative model, and the predictions of our ocean model, is reduced from 11.2 cm to 2.66 cm by the nudging. The improvement deteriorates significantly however if additional tidal constituents are included in the model (most notably S2). This is explained in terms of spectral leakage between tidal bands associated with the nudging methodology and a straightforward solution is proposed.","PeriodicalId":120800,"journal":{"name":"Volume 9: Rodney Eatock Taylor Honoring Symposium on Marine and Offshore Hydrodynamics; Takeshi Kinoshita Honoring Symposium on Offshore Technology","volume":"132 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133392076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
