A device for in-situ observation of seabed sand waves based on internal solitary waves and its working method

Abstract

The invention provides a seabed sand wave in-situ observation device based on internal solitary waves and a working method of the seabed sand wave in-situ observation device. The seabed sand wave in-situ observation device comprises a penetration power system, an observation system and a stabilization system. The penetration power system is composed of a recovery ring, a buoy, a Kevlar cable, a limiting cylinder, a cubic limiting block, a control unit, an annular control cabin, a heavy block and an annular iron block. The observation system is composed of an acoustic probe rod, an acoustic probe rod storage unit, a circular-truncated-cone-shaped limiting block, an one-way limiting device, a horizontal supporting rod, a resistivity probe rod, an electrode ring, a transmitting transducer, afirst penetration conical tip, a receiving transducer, a horizontal supporting rod and a second penetration conical tip. The stabilizing system is composed of a four-foot-frame limiting cylinder, a circular pipe, a stabilizing circular ring, a buffer device and a gravity anchor. By means of the seabed sand wave in-situ observation device, the penetration requirement of the seabed sand wave in-situobservation device is met, the penetration effect is guaranteed, the energy of the internal solitary waves is used as a resource, the design and operation cost of the device is reduced, and the seabed sand waves can be observed in situ in real time.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of seabed observation and the technical field of marine engineering geology, in particular to a seabed sand wave in-situ observation device based on internal solitary waves and a working method thereof. Background technique

[0002] Submarine sand wave is a mound-shaped and crescent-shaped submarine landform developed under the action of ocean waves, tides, currents and other hydrodynamic forces, and its ridge line is perpendicular to the direction of the main current. As an active landform, the migration of seabed sand waves will cause accidents such as suspension and breakage of submarine pipelines, silting of channels, and structural instability of oil and gas platforms, which pose a serious threat to the safety of engineering facilities in the ocean. Therefore, the study of seabed sand waves has great significance. Internal solitary wave is a special kind of nonlinear internal wave, which occurs between...
