The free spanning submarine cable, a slender and flexible structure with a certain sag, exhibits unique vortex-induced vibration (VIV) characteristics in currents compared to offshore risers and submarine pipelines. To study the VIV of the cable, a three-dimensional numerical model based on the finite difference method (FDM) and the finite element method (FEM) is established. The large eddy simulation method is employed to close the turbulent motion equations in the hydrodynamic model, while the beam element method is used to solve the structural motion equations in the structural dynamic model. An analytical mapping method is adopted for the reconstruction of the structure surface in the fixed Cartesian fluid grids, and the immersed boundary method is used to deal with boundary conditions at fluid-solid interfaces. Since simulating VIV of a submarine cable with sag requires extensive local grid refinement near the cable's surface, a partition parallel algorithm with multi-GPU nodes is developed to enhance the computational efficiency, where the parallel efficiency of a single GPU can reach 80–90%. The numerical model is validated by a laboratory experiment on the VIV of a submarine cable, where the transverse response amplitudes and frequencies obtained by numerical simulation agree well with the experimental results. The streamwise vibration responses that are not measured in the experiment are analyzed by the numerical simulation. It is found that when the cable's equilibrium profile is deflected in the streamwise direction by the drag force, the streamwise vibration with the same frequency as the transverse vibration occurs, and the streamwise vibration amplitude increases with sag. The detailed flow field information provided by numerical simulation indicates that the size of the vortex structures gradually increases with the velocity, and the shape of the vortex structure has a strong correlation with the transverse vibration mode of the cable.

At present, the energy released by bubble collapse can be used for the surface treatment of workpieces and can also be used to degrade pollutants. However, the mechanism of action between bubble collapse and a nearby wall has yet to be accurately explained. In order to grasp the relationship between the wall distance and collapse characteristics, the methods of spark discharge, high-speed photography, and pressure acquisition are used to study bubble shapes and the dynamic variation during pressure release with different wall distances in this paper. The results show that with the increasing of the distance L, the shape of a bubble changes from oblate to spherical and its collapse time shortens. The proportion of the total collapse time consumed by the slow collapse stage shows an increasing trend. In an experiment with two contractions, the time proportion of the slow collapse stage of the first contraction is much larger than that of the second contraction. The existence of the wall delays the collapse of the bubble. As the distance L increases, the bubble goes from undergoing one collapse to two collapses and then to one collapse again. The proportion of the duration of the slow collapse stage of the first contraction decreases rapidly, and the proportion of the slow collapse stage of the second contraction increases slowly, but the time proportion of second contraction decreases. When the distance L increases from 4.5 mm to 11 mm, the pressure received by the wall gradually decreases 28.19 MPa to 18.01 MPa. With an increase in the distance S from 0 to 8 mm, the maximum pressure received by the wall gradually decreases from 19.77 MPa to 9.37 MPa. The relationship found between the slow collapse stage (ta), the second contraction (tb), and the distance (L) can provide guidance for the effective application of the energy released by bubble collapse.
目前,气泡坍塌释放的能量可用于工件的表面处理,也可用于降解污染物。然而,气泡塌陷与附近壁面之间的作用机理尚未得到准确解释。为了掌握壁距与塌陷特性之间的关系,本文采用火花放电、高速摄影和压力采集等方法,研究了不同壁距下的气泡形状和压力释放过程中的动态变化。结果表明,随着壁距 L 的增大,气泡的形状由扁圆形变为球形,塌陷时间缩短。缓慢坍缩阶段所消耗的时间占总坍缩时间的比例呈上升趋势。在两次收缩的实验中,第一次收缩的慢速塌缩阶段所占的时间比例远远大于第二次收缩。气泡壁的存在延迟了气泡的坍缩。随着距离 L 的增加,气泡会从一次塌缩变成两次塌缩,然后再变成一次塌缩。第一次收缩的缓慢塌缩阶段的持续时间比例迅速减少,第二次收缩的缓慢塌缩阶段的比例缓慢增加,但第二次收缩的时间比例减少。当距离 L 从 4.5 mm 增加到 11 mm 时,壁面承受的压力逐渐从 28.19 MPa 减小到 18.01 MPa。当距离 S 从 0 毫米增加到 8 毫米时,墙体承受的最大压力从 19.77 兆帕逐渐减小到 9.37 兆帕。缓慢塌陷阶段 (ta)、第二次收缩 (tb) 和距离 (L) 之间的关系可为有效利用气泡塌陷释放的能量提供指导。

Flexible membranes are widely used in marine engineering, but how to calculate their hydrodynamic performance under wave action remains a challenging problem. In this paper, a new model based on the eigenfunction expansion boundary element method (EEBEM) is proposed to calculate the wave-membrane interaction under two-dimensional conditions. A general dynamic boundary condition suitable for linear and arcuate membranes is established based on the membrane’s constitutive equations under cylindrical coordinates. This condition considers the dynamic tension and curvature of the membrane, and an integral expression for the dynamic tension is also derived. Subsequently, the dynamic boundary condition is transformed into a function of the velocity potential and applied to the EEBEM, overcoming the difficulty of the coupled solutions for the arcuate membrane’s motion and the flow field. Moreover, a generalized solution framework for wave-structure interaction is established by constructing a fully closed form of the water wave equations, which effectively shortens the modeling time and expands the application scope. After verifying the accuracy and effectiveness of the model, the hydrodynamic performance (wave force, membrane tension and wave transmission coefficient) and motion response of a submerged flexible membrane breakwater (SFMB) are investigated. The results demonstrate that the model exhibits high accuracy, which is beneficial for elucidating the mechanism of wave-membrane interaction and providing robust support for related research fields.

In this paper, we simulate a solitary wave interaction with a variable slope with reflection on a vertical wall by integrating the fully nonlinear Serre–Green–Naghdi (SGN) equations. To this end, we first provide an iterative solution process for the SGN equations so that we can simulate a solitary wave propagating over variable bathymetry. For the purpose of the study, we examine two physical problems. The first is of a solitary wave interaction with a constant slope with reflection on a vertical wall. The simulated solutions are in good agreement with other numerical and experimental data, confirming the validity of the current work. The second is concerned with a perturbation of the first problem, where the constant slope of the first problem is varied; i.e., a variable slope is taken into account. We compare the simulated solutions of the two problems and observe the (physically realistic) effect of the variable slope on shoaling and reflection by the vertical wall.

Accurate evaluation of cumulative strains in marine soils under long-term cyclic loading is essential for the design and safe operation of offshore wind turbines. This study proposes an enhanced machine learning model to predict the cumulative strain in marine soils subjected to cyclic loading. Cumulative strains of marine soils from five offshore wind farms under long-term cyclic loading were tested. Four prediction models for cumulative strains were developed and evaluated based on test results using the Back Propagation Neural Network (BP-NN), Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Regression (SVR), and eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) models, each combined with the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm. The prediction model with the highest accuracy was further analyzed using the SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) method. Results show that the RF and XGBoost algorithms have higher prediction accuracy, with R² values above 0.99, compared to the BP-NN and SVR models. Furthermore, dynamic triaxial test parameters significantly influence the cumulative strain predictions more than the soil properties. This study provides a more efficient method for cumulative strain assessment of marine soils under long-term cyclic loading.

The use of underwater explosion bubbles for ice breaking represents an efficient technological advance that is critical for polar exploration. In this paper, we propose an effective numerical methodology for investigating this pertinent issue. By combining the advantages of peridynamics and the Eulerian finite element method, we establish a coupled model for investigating the integral ice-breaking characteristics of underwater explosion bubbles. Our model is capable of accurately simulating the formation of bifurcated ice cracks and capturing the evolution patterns of both ice cracks and crushed ice under various complex working conditions. When the extreme standoff parameter is set to zero, multiple crushed ice formations are effectively generated during contact explosion, and the changes in the height and width of this crushed ice exhibit a predominantly increasing trend over time. Furthermore, our results elucidate the destructive mechanism of the bubble jet on the ice structure. We find that when the initial bubble does not have a strong destructive effect, the jet’s impact becomes more pronounced. The conclusions from this study offer valuable technical support for real-world polar exploration problems.

Research on online parameter identification and real-time manoeuvring prediction for a class of water-jet unmanned surface vehicle (USV) is carried out in this paper. Utilizing actual sailing data from a water-jet USV, the weighted multi-innovation prediction error method integrated with dynamic window strategy is proposed to identify the manoeuvring parameters of the USV model online. Subsequently, real-time prediction of the water-jet USV's motion is achieved based on the established time-varying model. The thrust generation of water-jet propulsion system and the effect of rotational current on the USV's motion are analyzed simultaneously, and then a three-degree-of-freedom mathematical model is established for the water-jet USV equipped with two water-jet propulsion systems. Due to the weakening of the correction ability of the prediction error method in the later stage, an adaptive step factor with phase adjustment is designed to improve the response accuracy to the error innovation and maintain the algorithm's correction ability. Since the prediction error method updates the identification value using only a single innovation each time, incorporating multi-innovation theory enhances the utilization of historical data, allowing the algorithm to more accurately reflect the current state or trend. In order to fully consider the differences between data points, an adaptive weighting strategy is developed to assign weights according to the contribution of the data in the innovation window to USV modeling, so as to enhance the tracking performance of the time-varying parameters. Aiming at the outliers in the collected data, a dynamic innovation window strategy is designed, and then the data in this window is filtered by Quartile algorithm and the outliers are detected by local outlier factor, so that the window could contain more effective sailing state information. A large amount of actual test data analysis demonstrates that, the algorithm proposed in this paper could achieve more accurate online identification of water-jet USV model parameters and more precise real-time prediction of USV motion, which would provide strong support for safe navigation and efficient control of USV.

This study presents the results of the numerical simulation analysis, aiming to investigate the temperature effects on the vertical ultimate bearing capacity of the three types of foundations, namely generic spudcan (SGEN), skirted and pile foundations, at different embedded depth ratios H/D (H/D = 1/3, 2/3, and 1 or H/D = 10/3, 5, and 20/3) and strength reduction coefficients su,T/su0 (su,T/su0 = 0.1, 0.5). The latent heat effects on foundation bearing capacities are studied by small strain finite element analysis (FEA). The findings from this investigation and previous research indicate that the foundations' vertical ultimate bearing capacity decreases with time, while it increases with increasing the foundation's embedment ratio. For the foundations, the strength reduction coefficient plays an important role in the vertical ultimate bearing capacity. Notably, as the strength reduction coefficient decreases from 0.5 to 0.1, the reduction rate of the vertical ultimate bearing capacity increases by ∼ 3 to 6 times accordingly. Consequently, a normalized bearing capacity coefficient model has been proposed to provide an optimization tool for engineering design in permafrost regions.

Hundreds of millions of tons of dredged sludge are generated by waterway dredging worldwide every year. Traditional disposal of dredged sludge, such as in-situ stockpiling and offshore dumping, cannot avoid the waste of land resource and the pollution to marine environment. Sludge stabilization/solidification treatment currently used can achieve the reuse of drudged sludge but requires large investment and time. Therefore, how to turn waste into treasure in an effective, environmentally friendly and cheap way is a notable problem. In this study, the variation of strength of solidified sludge cured in air with water-cement ratio, water content and curing time by unconfined compression test was investigated, and the inner mechanism of strength influenced by water-cement ratio and water content was revealed by XRD test, which offered an optimal working condition. Also, solidified sludge with the maximum strength in the optimal working condition was immersed into seawater at different times, which showed the 7d strength after mixing completion for 8 h immersed into seawater could reach 20.60 MPa (1.37 times of the strength in air), and the prediction formulas considering all the parameters mentioned above were established. At last, a field test of solidified dredged sludge for protection of submarine pipelines was carried out in Bohai Bay, China, which demonstrated the feasibility of mixing dredged sludge with cement on board and solidifying in seawater environment. Compared to the traditional subsea pipeline protection solutions, the cost of using solidified sludge to protect subsea pipelines is 25 % and 39 % less than the cost of using sandbags and concrete mats, respectively. This study provides a more economic and environmentally friendly idea for dredged sludge treatment and subsea pipeline protection than the conventional methods, which provides a new source of green ocean building materials, reduces the pollution of the marine environment by the discharge of dredged sludge, turns waste into treasure and has wide applications in ocean engineering.
