A hydrofoil is a basic shape of fluid machinery blades, and its drag reduction performance is an important reference index in the field of fluid transportation. When fluid flows around a hydrofoil, it generates friction drag and pressure drag, greatly reducing the hydrofoil’s hydraulic performance. This study designs a bionic drag reduction structure by arranging fish scales on a Clark-Y hydrofoil. The overlapping size, thickness, and coverage area of fish scales are taken as design parameters, and the optimal design scheme is attained by using the Taguchi method. Large eddy simulation is used to numerically simulate various schemes. Results show that when the overlapping size O is 2.00 mm, the thickness h is 0.36 mm, the initial position x/C of the fish scale covering is 0 (where C is the chord length of the hydrofoil), and the hydrofoil exhibits excellent drag reduction performance. The total drag reduction rate of the hydrofoil is up to 35.15%, and the drag reduction rate of friction drag and pressure drag is up to 39.56% and 25.64%, respectively. The lift–drag ratio of the hydrofoil increases by 18.04%. The bionic fish scale structure effectively inhibits turbulence, thereby reducing the drag caused by the transformation of laminar flow to turbulence.
水翼是流体机械叶片的一种基本形状，其减阻性能是流体运输领域的一项重要参考指标。当流体围绕水翼流动时，会产生摩擦阻力和压力阻力，大大降低水翼的水力性能。本研究通过在克拉克-Y 型水翼上排列鱼鳞，设计了一种仿生减阻结构。以鱼鳞的重叠尺寸、厚度和覆盖面积为设计参数，采用田口方法获得最佳设计方案。采用大涡模拟对各种方案进行数值模拟。结果表明，当重叠尺寸 O 为 2.00 mm、厚度 h 为 0.36 mm、鱼鳞覆盖的初始位置 x/C 为 0（其中 C 为水翼的弦长）时，水翼表现出优异的减阻性能。水翼的总阻力降低率高达 35.15%，摩擦阻力和压力阻力的阻力降低率分别高达 39.56% 和 25.64%。水翼的升阻比提高了 18.04%。仿生鱼鳞结构有效地抑制了湍流，从而减少了层流转化为湍流时产生的阻力。

This paper presents a procedure for evaluating the structural safety of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Cargo Containment System (CCS) against sloshing load by comparing the results of linear and nonlinear dynamic structural strength analysis with those of verified reference vessels. This comparative procedure indirectly considers (1) limitation of implementing real physical phenomena in model experiments including the Froude scaling method, density ratio, etc., (2) assumptions in statistical analysis for calculating design loads, and (3) complicated effects not implemented in nonlinear dynamic analysis such as phase transition between liquid and gas, hull deflection, and the detailed geometry of the CCS, among others. The uncertainties in sloshing model experiments and statistical analysis can be addressed by introducing the pressure correction factors, which make the linear design loads of the reference vessel satisfy the CCS’s capacity. Finally, the structural nonlinearity, which was not accounted for in the nonlinear dynamic analysis, can be taken into consideration through a comparison of the usage factors from nonlinear dynamic analysis. To apply the proposed structural assessment procedure, the GTT NO96 series were selected and applied to two failure modes. In the application of this procedure, the Triangular Impulse Response Function (TIRF) method was adopted, to efficiently calculate numerous linear dynamic structural strength analyses required for Dynamic Amplification Factor (DAF). Through this application applying larger sloshing loads to the reinforced NO96 CCS of the target vessel compared to the reference vessel, the feasibility of this procedure was shown.

In order to meet the needs of high-precision navigation for underwater vehicles, a strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS)/ultra-short baseline (USBL) tightly coupled integrated strategy is proposed, which can avoid the errors generated in the calculation of absolute position and improve the positioning accuracy of the integrated navigation system compared with the loosely coupled strategy. In addition, due to the influence of environmental noise in the ocean, the measurement of USBL is accompanied by a large number of outliers, which leads to the decrease of the precision of the integrated navigation system based on traditional Kalman filter. Therefore, a robust filter based on Gaussian-Exponential distribution is presented for the SINS/USBL integrated navigation system in this paper. Finally, the feasibility and the superiority of the proposed algorithm is verified through simulation and field test in the Yangtze River.

Underwater launchers are typically employed for the deployment of pigging robots in subsea pipelines for the purposes of cleaning and inspection. Throughout the launching process, challenges related to vibration, damage, and other issues must be addressed and resolved. In this study, the launching process of the pigging robot is numerically simulated using Abaqus 2020. Utilising the Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) method, the Fluid-Structure-Interaction (FSI) model of the launching process was constructed. And the variation of parameters such as velocity, friction force and tilt angle at different inlet flow rates were analysed. The findings indicate a positive correlation between the average velocity of the pigging robot and the inlet flow rate. The factors such as friction, tilt angle, and offset distance are related to the motion process of the pigging robot. Furthermore, during the pigging robot’s traversal through narrow pipe sections, the sealing discs undergo irregular deformation, generating a reaction force on the robot and inducing vibration. In conclusion, the analysis of the impact of inlet flow velocity on the motion behaviour of the pigging robot offers a theoretical foundation and reference for the successful launch of the robot.

Wave-powered boats can harness wave energy to drive hydrofoils to generate propulsion, and the arrangement position between dual hydrofoils has an obvious effect on the magnitude of propulsion generated. In this paper, the effects of the arrangement position between dual hydrofoils on the propulsion of wave-powered boats are studied. An instantaneous equivalent model of dual hydrofoils based on the local frame at the equivalent position is developed according to the relative motion principle, and the propulsion of the rear hydrofoil is calculated, and the reliability of the equivalent model results was verified through experiments. Through the augment optimization calculation based on the validated model mentioned above, the propulsion of the rear hydrofoil with different arrangement positions is obtained and the corresponding positions of the hydrofoil with larger propulsion are listed. Subsequently, a fluid-structure coupling model is established on the basis of the results obtained from the optimization calculation, and the dynamic response of the wave-powered boat is solved under different arrangement positions. It is evident that different horizontal and vertical arrangement positions of the dual hydrofoils have different effects on the propulsion performance. This is primarily due to the different influences of the wake vortices generated by the front hydrofoil acting on the rear hydrofoil, causing different fluctuations during its rotation process, thereby affecting propulsion. Overall, a reasonable arrangement position can effectively improve the propulsion of the wave-powered boat. The relevant research in this paper can provide a reference for similar hydrofoil arrangement designs of the wave-powered boat.

As the ship manufacturer, including new building, repair, and conversion, the shipyard significantly impacts the ship’s quality and performance output. A well-planned ship design that will be built requires skilled shipbuilders who can fulfil quality, timeline, budget, safety, and environmental requirements from shipowners, rules, and regulations. Since diverse and multiple factors influence its efficiency and product output, evaluating the shipyard’s performance is critical for a more impactful and strategic advancement approach. This research aims to apply the novel integrated Value Engineering and Risk Assessment (VENRA) framework, which integrates five main elements: technical, business, external, personnel’s safety, and environment, for measuring shipyard performance. This paper demonstrates the VENRA business element in more detail and applies it to a shipyard case study. Integrated fuzzy Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) and Weighted Evaluation Technique (WET) are used to analyse the criteria’s interrelationship by determining the cause-effect group and weight ranking prioritisation. The objective grading system is developed to determine the shipyard’s performance score based on multi-resource qualitative and quantitative data. The shipyard’s case study demonstrates that ‘delivery time’ remains the most critical and influential aspect of the business elements’ performance. In addition, the top three most important factors, ‘delivery time’, ‘financial report condition’, and ‘ship manufacturing cost’, must be taken into account, as they directly influence the shipyard’s performance. Despite being a minor element, ‘innovation and human resources’ is the second most influential factor after ‘delivery time’. The case study’s results demonstrate that the framework can simultaneously identify cause-and-effect criteria groups while prioritising the most critical factors via methodologies.

A series of quantitative analyses were performed to identify the wave properties and potential, by means of records collected from an offshore buoy in North-West Ireland. Based on the data collected, a series of quantitative analyses was conducted to determine the dominant wind directions and wave properties on an annual basis. In addition, the wave power is computed based on relevant wave heights and periods, and the Pierson-Moskowitz spectral model was used to generate the maximum wave energy spectra for each year. The results show that waves with wave powers of around 100 kW/m were mostly approaching eastward at a rather narrow frequency. In order to compare the relative capture width and the power absorption capacity of three floating structures, the Wave Dragon, Board Net Breakwater, and Cylindrical Floating Breakwater are analyzed. Also outlined is the impact of the transmission coefficient on the effectiveness of wave energy converters (WEC) throughout the energy harvesting process. This was accomplished by fusing information from three distinct field investigations and experimental research with four different wave transmission coefficient models. The results show that as the wave steepness increases, the transmission coefficient decreases and the hydrodynamic performance of wave energy converters increases. Also, it is found that the hydrodynamic efficiency of wave energy converters is higher in summer than in winter, and the Wave Dragon is the most efficient wave energy converter in regard to relative capture width and power absorption.

Due to the marine environment, the operation efficiency of marine cranes is low, and it is easy to cause safety accidents. In this study, magnetorheological (MR) technology is applied to the field of payload anti-swing for marine crane, and designs a parallel MR anti-swing device. The dynamic model of the anti-swing system is derived based on the robot theory and Lagrange method. To enhance the efficiency of anti-swing and reduce the energy, the variable universe fuzzy PID (VUFPID) controller is designed. The anti-swing effect of MR anti-swing device is simulated and analyzed. The results show that the effect of payload anti-swing is exceed 80%, and the energy consumption of MR anti-swing device with VUFPID controller is reduced by 49% compared with MR anti-swing device with a fixed current (1.9 A) under the approximate anti-swing effect. The physical prototype of MR anti-swing device is installed on the laboratory crane. The experimental results show that the attitude of the payload is reduced by 80%.

Underwater acoustic target recognition is a hot research issue with a wide range of applications. The variable ocean environment and evolving underwater moving target noise reduction techniques greatly complicate the recognition task. Traditional recognition methods are difficult to obtain practical characterization features and robust recognition results due to the singular input features and the limitation of the network backbone. Therefore, We propose a parallel convolutional neural network (CNN)-Transformer model based on multimodal feature learning for underwater target recognition. The CNN module extracts deep features from the Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs). The Transformer captures global information in the original time-domain signal. The two single-modal features are combined by an adaptive feature fusion module to construct joint features for target recognition. The effectiveness of the proposed method was verified in the Ships-Ear dataset, and the average accuracy of classification reached 98.58%. The experimental results show that our model works better than classical methods.

The experimental results show that our model works better than classical methods.","PeriodicalId":20667,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part M: Journal of Engineering for the Maritime Environment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139163240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Launching underwater gliders by aircraft could greatly expand the application of underwater gliders. However, during the process of the glider entry into the water, it will be subjected to significant impact loads, especially during the process of wing entry into the water. In this paper, a foldable wing module is proposed to reduce the water entry impact loads of the glider caused by the wings entering into the water. The effect of the foldable wing module on impact loads reduction and the influence of the foldable wing module on the water entry trajectory are studied by numerical method. The results show that the differences in mass and gravity center position caused by the foldable wing module have little effect on the water entry impact loads of the glider until the wings impact the water. When the glider enters the water obliquely, the wing module reduces the peak radial acceleration of the glider. In addition, the trajectory and time of the glider to reach the horizontal attitude are also reduced. These conclusions will be helpful for the designing of the wings of air-launched underwater gliders.
