Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the offshore, ocean engineering hydrodynamic wave tank test technical field, especially to a kind of method and wave making system for generating second-order stokes wave of impact box type wave making. BACKGROUND

[0002] Second-order stokes wave is a kind of weak nonlinear, periodic surface gravity wave, compared with the micro wave, it can reflect the nonlinear characteristics of natural wave, and compared with higher-order stokes wave, its theory is relatively simple, and it is easier to realize. In the laboratory water tank and numerical wave tank, the movement of the wave making plate is usually harmonic motion and does not consider the nonlinear effect of the wave. Although there is nonlinear existence between the free water surface and the wave making plate surface with the propagation of the wave, the wave still shows a certain degree of nonlinear characteristics, but due to the interference of second-order locking wave and free wave, the nonlinear characteristics of the wave are affected, which leads to the instability of wave propagation.

[0003] At present, most of the wave making theories are based on push plate type wave making and rocking plate type wave making, and with the implementation of the national "Maritime Power" strategy, the exploration of the ocean is also developing towards deep water, therefore, in order to meet the research needs of deep water, the depth of the laboratory water tank is gradually increased. At this time, under the condition of deep water, in order to generate relatively large wave, push plate and rocking plate wave making means that a larger power motor is needed to drive and a larger space is needed to meet the reciprocating motion of the wave making plate, so as to produce corresponding wave. Due to the nonlinear free wave generated by the water surface and the wave making plate surface in the traditional wave making theory, the propagation speed of the free wave is different from that of the constrained wave, which interferes with the propagation of the constrained wave, resulting in changes in the wave propagation process, which affects the authenticity and accuracy of the research.

[0004] Therefore, the development and application of a wave making method suitable for deep water wave generation has become a problem to be solved. SUMMARY

[0005] Therefore, the present application aims to provide a method and wave making system for generating second-order stokes wave of impact box type wave making, so as to solve the problem of the authenticity and accuracy of the research caused by the nonlinear free wave generated by the water surface and the wave making plate surface in the traditional wave making theory, which interferes with the propagation of the constrained wave, resulting in changes in the wave propagation process.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, one of the technical solutions of the present application is: a method for generating second-order stokes wave of impact box type wave making, when using impact box type wave making machine to make wave, the method comprises:

[0007] S1, determine the second-order stokes wave expression as:

[0008]

[0009] wherein The expression is d is the water depth, k is the wave number k = 2π / L, L is the wavelength, H is the wave height, and φ is the wave phase angle;

[0010] S2, according to the principle of conservation of mass, the lowering of the tank will cause the free water surface to rise to form a wave crest, and the rising of the tank will lower the free water surface to form a wave trough, the relationship is as follows:

[0011] V t -V0 = V1 + V2 (2)

[0012] wherein V t represents the submerged volume of the tank at time t, V0 represents the submerged volume of the tank at the initial time, V1 represents the volume between the wave surface and the static water surface, and V2 represents the volume between the wet surface of the tank and the static water surface;

[0013] S3, define the X axis as the free water surface coinciding with the tank and pointing to the tank, and the Y axis as being perpendicular to the free water surface and pointing upward, V1 is obtained by integrating the wave surface equation from 0 to x c

[0014]

[0015] wherein x c is the horizontal position of the interaction between the wave surface and the tank, and η(x) is the wave surface height at position x;

[0016] V2, V0 and V t can be expressed by the following formula

[0017]

[0018]

[0019]

[0020] wherein S is the vertical displacement of the tank, ds is the initial submerged water depth of the tank, and θ is the bottom angle;

[0021] S4, substituting the formula (3) to the formula (6) in S3 into the formula (2), to obtain

[0022]

[0023] In the formula, S and x c are two unknown variables about time;

[0024] ​S5, define the wedge free surface equation as

[0025] f(y) = c-t-(y+S) tan θ (8)

[0026] In the formula, c is the wave propagation speed, t is the time, y is the variable;

[0027] Put (x c , η x=xc ) into equation (8) to get:

[0028] c-t-x c = |S+η(x c )| tan θ (9)

[0029] Equations (7) to (9) constitute the real-time displacement expression of the ram tank;

[0030] S6, substitute equation (1) into equations (7) and (9), and the displacement of the ram tank to generate a second-order Stokes wave is obtained by the following equation:

[0031]

[0032] S7, load equation (10) into the wave making system of the ram tank wave maker, and a second-order Stokes wave can be generated in the flume.

[0033] Further, the capacity of the ram tank restricts the generation of waves and the quality of waves, and the total constraint condition formula of the ram tank wave generation of the second-order Stokes wave is:

[0034]

[0035] Further, the ram tank motion does not exceed the bottom of the flume, and the specific expression is:

[0036] S < d-d s (12)

[0037] When the ram tank immersion depth increases from the initial value to the maximum value, a 1 / 2 period wave volume is generated, and the specific expression is:

[0038]

[0039] In order to obtain the first constraint condition, solve equations (12) and (13), and the following expression is obtained:

[0040]

[0041] Further, when the ram tank drops to the lowest position, a second-order Stokes wave volume is generated, and the specific expression is:

[0042]

[0043] V2 is omitted in formula (15), V2 is proportional to η(x), when x c = L / 2, η(x) ≈ 0, according to the calculation expression (4) of V2, V2 = 0

[0044] By solving formula (12) and formula (15), the first constraint condition formula is obtained as follows:

[0045]

[0046] Further, the slope of the wedge-shaped impact box is less than the minimum slope of the wave front, and the specific expression is as follows:

[0047] k p <k wmin (17)

[0048] In the formula, k p is the slope of the wedge-shaped impact box, k wmin is the minimum slope of the wave front; wherein the slope k p of the wedge-shaped impact box in formula (17) is calculated as follows

[0049]

[0050] On the contrary, the impact box will cover the generated wave, affecting the quality of the wave.

[0051] Further, the slope k w of the wave front in formula (17) can be:

[0052]

[0053] The minimum slope position of the impact box can be derived by taking the derivative of x in formula (19)

[0054]

[0055] By derivation, the second constraint condition formula is obtained as follows:

[0056]

[0057] Further, the volume of the second-order Stokes wave in a period is less than zero, and the average water level in the tank will drop. In order to balance the dropped water level, the impact box needs to rise by a certain amount to ensure that the impact box will not rise out of the water when the second-order Stokes wave spreads to the entire tank, therefore, there is another constraint condition, and its formula is

[0058]

[0059] where w is the length of the flume, and substituting The third constraint condition is derived from the expression.

[0060] Further, according to the constraint condition of various wave theories, the fourth constraint condition formula of the second-order Stokes wave is:

[0061]

[0062] Another technical solution of the present application is a piston-type wave generation system, which is suitable for the piston-type wave generation method of the second-order Stokes wave.

[0063] Further, the system at least includes a set of driving systems, a piston connected with the driving systems, and a control system for feedback and control signals.

[0064] The present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0065] 1. Compared with the push plate wave generation method and the swing plate wave generation method, the present application is more suitable for deep water wave generation and saves the horizontal space occupied by the wave generator.

[0066] 2. The method is based on the high-order wave generation theory. The traditional wave generation theory generates free waves due to the nonlinearity of the water surface and the surface of the wave plate. The propagation speed of the free wave is different from that of the constrained wave, which further interferes with the propagation of the constrained wave, resulting in changes in the wave propagation process. The active compensation wave generation theory can eliminate the influence of the free wave on the constrained wave by controlling the displacement of the piston. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0078] wherein the expression is d is the water depth, k is the wave number k = 2π / L, L is the wavelength, H is the wave height, and φ is the wave phase angle;

[0079] As shown in Figures 1-3 S2, according to the principle of mass conservation, the lowering of the plunger will cause the lifting of the free water surface to form a wave crest, and the rising of the plunger will lower the free water surface to form a wave trough, and the relationship is as follows:

[0080] V t -V0 = V1 + V2 (2)

[0081] wherein V t represents the submerged volume of the plunger at time t, V0 represents the submerged volume of the plunger at the initial time, V1 represents the volume between the wave surface and the static water surface, and V2 represents the volume between the wet surface of the plunger and the static water surface;

[0082] S3, defining the X axis as the free water surface coinciding with the plunger and pointing to the plunger, and the Y axis as the vertical to the free water surface and pointing upward, V1 is obtained by integrating the wave surface equation from 0 to x c

[0083]

[0084] wherein x c is the horizontal position of the wave surface and the plunger interaction, and η(x) is the wave surface height at position x;

[0085] V2, V0 and V t can be expressed by the following formula

[0086]

[0087]

[0088]

[0089] wherein S is the vertical displacement of the plunger, ds is the initial submerged water depth of the plunger, and θ is the bottom angle.​

[0090] S4, substituting formula (3) to formula (6) in S3 into formula (2), get

[0091]

[0092] In the formula, S and x c are two unknown variables about time;

[0093] S5, define the wedge free surface equation as

[0094] f(y)=c·t-(y+S)tanθ (8)

[0095] In the formula, c is the generation wave propagation speed, t is the time, y is the variable;

[0096] Put (x c ,η| x=xc ) into equation (8) to get:

[0097] c·t-x c =|S+η(x c )|tanθ (9)

[0098] Formula (7) to formula (9) constitute real-time displacement expression of the tank;

[0099] S6, substituting formula (1) into formula (7) and formula (9), the displacement of the tank to generate second order Stokes wave is obtained by the following equation:

[0100]

[0101] S7, formula (10) is loaded into the wave making system of the tank type wave maker, and the second order Stokes wave can be generated in the water tank.

[0102] Further, the capacity of the tank restricts the generation of the wave and the quality of the wave, and the total constraint condition formula of the tank wave making to generate second order Stokes wave is:

[0103]

[0104] Further, the tank movement does not exceed the bottom of the water tank, and the specific expression is:

[0105] S<d-d s (12)

[0106] When the tank immersion depth increases from the initial value to the maximum value, 1 / 2 cycle wave volume is generated, and the specific expression is:

[0112] V2 is omitted in equation (15), V2 is proportional to η(x), when x c =L / 2, η(x)≈0, according to the calculation expression (4) of V2, V2=0

[0113] By solving equation (12) and equation (15), the first constraint condition formula is obtained as:

[0117] In the formula, k p is the slope of the wedge-shaped ram, k wmin is the minimum slope of the wave front; wherein the slope k p of the wedge-shaped ram in equation (17) is calculated as follows

[0118]

[0119] Conversely, the ram will cover the generated wave, affecting the quality of the wave.

[0120] Specifically, the slope k w of the wave front in equation (17) can be:

[0121]

[0122] The minimum slope position of the ram can be derived by taking the derivative of x in equation (19)

[0123]

[0124] By derivation, the second constraint condition formula is obtained as:

[0125]

[0126] Further, the volume of the second-order Stokes wave in a period is less than zero, so the average water level in the tank will drop. In order to balance the drop in water level, the impact box needs to rise by a certain amount, so as to ensure that the impact box does not rise out of the water when the second-order Stokes wave spreads to the entire tank. Therefore, there is also a constraint condition, and the formula is:
