Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of fluid mechanics, and in particular to a method for calculating attached water mass of a multi-cylinder array system. Background Art
[0002] Nowadays, with the advancement of science and technology, the vast majority of machinery and structures operate in complex fluid environments, and their vibration characteristics are inevitably affected by the fluid. For example, turbines and impellers in fluid machinery, propellers in ships, pile foundations of offshore platforms during earthquakes, and wave energy devices all have the characteristics of cylindrical or multi-cylinder structures. In engineering, the vibration of such structures or components in water can be attributed to the fluid-structure interaction problem of multi-cylinder structures.
[0003] In multi-cylinder arrays (such as offshore platform pile foundations and wave energy devices), the interaction of attached water masses may lead to the following phenomena: Vibration resonance: The attached water masses of adjacent cylinders may form "coupled vibrations", resulting in a decrease in the system's resonant frequency or an increase in the amplitude. Vortex-induced vibration suppression: Reasonable design of cylinder spacing or additional structures (such as guide plates) can change the distribution of attached water masses, thereby suppressing vortex shedding. Energy transfer: The attached water mass affects the efficiency of diffusion of vibration energy from a single cylinder to the surrounding environment. Therefore, obtaining the accurate attached water mass of a multi-cylinder array system when it vibrates in water is crucial in engineering.
[0004] Currently, there are few literatures at home and abroad that cover this area of research, and few relevant literatures report research results. Due to the lack of effective basic theoretical research results, there has been no specific solution to solve the attached water mass in multi-cylinder vibration systems. Summary of the Invention
