Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the continuous development of China's marine economy and the deepening of marine resource development, the marine environment challenges faced by offshore engineering structures are becoming increasingly complex. Marine environmental factors such as sea breeze, waves, ocean currents, and submarine earthquakes have complex dynamic effects on offshore engineering structures, posing a serious threat to their safe operation. The continuous development of marine engineering has put forward higher requirements for the stability and safety of engineering structures in complex marine environments, and it is necessary to accurately simulate and study the pile-soil mechanical behavior of these structures under the coupled action of wind-wave-current-seismic.

[0003] Regarding the research on the pile-soil mechanical behavior of marine engineering structures, there is currently a lack of an evaluation method for the coupled effect of the multi-process of wind-wave-current-seismic on the structure foundation-seabed. Traditional marine environment simulation systems are often limited to the simulation of a single environmental factor, such as simulating waves or ocean currents separately. There are few devices that can simultaneously simulate multiple environmental factors such as wind, waves, currents, and earthquakes, and these systems usually operate in a conventional gravity field, with the following disadvantages: it is impossible to accurately create a stress field identical to the prototype stress level, resulting in the inability to maintain the consistency of the model stress state, and causing a large difference between the simulation results and the actual situation; in a conventional gravity field, a large model scale is usually required to ensure the accuracy of model tests, resulting in problems such as a large floor area and high test costs.

[0004] Currently, L-shaped pools are widely used in the simulation of complex marine environments, but related model tests are usually carried out in a conventional gravity field, and it is impossible to accurately simulate the mechanical response process of marine engineering structures under the coupled action of complex wind, waves, currents, and earthquakes.

As Figure 1 shown, the model box 1 includes a box body 105 and a box cover 101. The box body 105 is successively divided into an upper cavity 102, a lower cavity 103, and a bottom shell 104 from top to bottom. The upper cavity 102 is a pool with an open top. The lower end surface of the upper cavity 102 is the bottom surface 1022 of the pool. The upper cavity 102 is used to hold water and provides space for wave generation, current generation, and air flow circulation on the water surface. A groove 1021 protruding downward is provided at the center position of the bottom surface 1022 of the pool. The groove 1021 extends through the lower cavity 103 into the bottom shell 104. As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the wind generation system 2 is used to form a horizontal air flow circulation above the water surface of the upper cavity 102. Its air inlet 201 and air outlet 202 face the upper cavity 102 and are located on both sides, and the rest are arranged in the box cover 101. A wind guide plate 208 for changing the wind direction is provided at the air inlet 201. When working, a circulating wind is formed between the air inlet 201 and the air outlet 202.

Its water inlet 401 and water outlet 402 are opened on both sides of the bottom surface 1022 of the pool, and the rest are installed in the lower cavity 103. When working, a backflow is formed between the water inlet 401 and the water outlet 402. Flow guide plates for stabilizing the flow field are provided at both the water inlet 401 and the water outlet 402. As Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the vibrating seabed model 5 is used to study the interaction between offshore structures and seabed soil under various sea conditions.

Moreover, the model box 1 can be installed on the rotating arm of the centrifuge 10 to form a super-gravity field by using the centrifugal simulation technology, so as to reproduce the sea breeze, waves, ocean currents and earthquake scenes in the super-gravity field, simulate the extreme ocean environment, and thus conduct a comprehensive and accurate environmental simulation of offshore engineering structures, providing a high-level test platform for studying the response of offshore engineering structures in complex ocean environments.

[0060] Embodiment 2 This embodiment discloses a method for simulating L-shaped wind-wave-current-seismic in a hypergravity field, based on the above-mentioned L-shaped wind-wave-current-seismic simulation system applicable to the hypergravity field: According to the gravity acceleration similarity ratio generated by the centrifuge 10 N to determine the model scale of the scaled model, then fill the soil seabed 501 into the groove 1021, and the thickness of the soil seabed 501 is 1 / N of the prototype seabed thickness. Then, determine the test water depth in the upper cavity 102 according to the similarity ratios related to wave generation and current generation and fill it with water. Then, after the soil model seabed 501 reaches full saturation, install the offshore structure model 1023. Then, adjust the angle of the air guide plate 208 to ensure that the main wind-receiving position of the offshore structure model 1023 is at the center of the horizontal air flow of the wind generation system 2 during the test. Then, install the box cover 101 on the box body 105, and then install the model box 1 on the rotating arm of the centrifuge 10. Then, start the centrifuge 10. After the rotation speed of the centrifuge 10 reaches the target value and operates stably, it generates N times the gravitational acceleration of centrifugal acceleration. The model box 1 is in a horizontal state under the action of centrifugal force and is in a hypergravity field. Then, simulate one or more sea conditions of ocean wind, wave, current, and earthquake according to research needs, and monitor the interaction between the soil model seabed 501 - offshore structure model 1023 during the test.

[0061] Specifically, the following steps are adopted: Step 1: According to the gravity acceleration similarity ratio generated by the centrifuge 10 N , determine the model scale of the scaled model This step should comprehensively consider factors such as the capacity of the centrifuge 10, the performance of the test equipment, and the prototype size, and select appropriate similarity criteria according to the research object. The similarity conditions that should be satisfied for the simulation of ocean wind, wave, current, and earthquake in the hypergravity field involved in this application include but are not limited to the following.

[0062] Geometric similarity: (1) (2) In the formula , are the plane geometric scale and the vertical geometric scale respectively, and are applicable to both wavelength and wave height; , are the plane geometric length and the vertical geometric length of the model respectively; , are the plane geometric length and the vertical geometric length of the prototype respectively.

[0063] Gravity similarity: From the Froude number, it can be obtained that (3) (4) (5) (6) In the formula is the Froude number, is the acceleration of gravity in the hypergravity field generated by the centrifuge 10, is the acceleration of gravity in the conventional gravity field, is the velocity scale ratio, is the model flow velocity, is the prototype flow velocity; Flow rate similarity ratio: (7) In the formula is the flow rate scale ratio; The similarity ratios of other commonly used physical quantities in the centrifugal model involved in this application are shown in the following table: Table 1 Other commonly used physical quantities in the centrifugal model

[0064] Step 2. Fill in the soil seabed 501 The material properties of the soil mass in the hypergravity field will not change. Therefore, the materials and physical properties of the soil seabed 501 should be the same as or similar to those of the prototype material. The soil seabed 501 should preferably use the prototype soil, or prepare a model soil with the same or similar physical properties according to the prototype soil.

[0065] The requirements for the particle size of the soil mass for preparing the soil seabed 501 are as follows: The maximum particle size should be less than 1 / 20 - 1 / 10 of the size of the marine structure model 1023; the average particle size is less than 1 / 28 of the size of the marine structure model 1023, and at the same time, it meets the requirement of being less than 1 / 30 of the smaller dimension of the main contact surface between the marine structure model 1023 and the soil seabed 501.

[0066] The thickness of the soil seabed 501 should be 1 / N of the thickness of the prototype seabed, where N is the similarity ratio of the acceleration of gravity generated by the centrifuge 10. The soil seabed 501 and the prototype seabed should satisfy the formula: (8) In the formula , are the thickness and elastic modulus of the soil seabed 501 respectively, , are the thickness and elastic modulus of the prototype seabed respectively.

[0067] Select the corresponding soil mass according to the research object and research question. First, conventional indoor geotechnical tests should be carried out to verify the similarity of the physical properties between the model soil and the prototype soil. Specifically, for the model test with soil strength control, the strength indexes of the model soil and the prototype soil should be the same or similar first. For the model test with deformation control, the deformation parameters of the model soil and the prototype soil should be the same or similar first; Based on the parameters of the soil seabed 501 determined by the above requirements, weigh the model soil of the soil seabed 501 according to the following formula: (9) In the formula is the mass of the model soil, is the density of the model soil, is the volume of the model soil, is the porosity of the model soil.

[0068] Then fill the accurately weighed model soil above the shaker 502 into the groove 1021. The upper surface of the soil seabed 501 is flush with the upper edge of the groove 1021, and the lower surface forms a seal with the installation space of the shaker 502 through a seal to prevent the water and soil in the groove 1021 from leaking into the space of the shaker 502, which may cause wear and corrosion of the shaker 502, reduce the maintenance cost of the shaker 502, and extend the effective working time; Set up a data acquisition system on the shaker 502 to monitor the vibration spectrum generated by the shaker 502 on the soil seabed 501.

[0069] Step 3. Determine the test water depth in the upper cavity 102 and fill it with water First, determine the water depth of the hypergravity field model test according to the similarity ratios related to wave generation and current generation determined in step 1, which mainly involve geometric similarity and gravity similarity, that is, the liquid level height in the upper cavity 102. Then, inject water into the upper cavity 102 until the liquid level gradually rises to the test water depth and stop injecting water. During the water injection process, the guide plates 4011 and 4021 at the water inlet 401 and the water outlet 402 are kept fully open to ensure that the entire space of the flow channel 403 of the current generation system 4 is filled with water. The soil seabed 501 is saturated by the immersion saturation method, and the immersion time should be greater than 24 hours.

[0070] Step 4. After the soil model seabed 501 reaches complete saturation, install the marine structure model 1023 The size of the marine structure model 1023 is determined by the similarity ratio determined in step 1, which mainly involves geometric similarity. The preparation material of the marine structure model 1023 should be the same as the prototype material of the research object.

[0071] After the marine structure model 1023 is installed, install sensors to monitor the force, deformation and displacement of the marine structure model 1023.

[0072] Step 5: Install the cover 101 and the model box 1 First, adjust the angle of the air deflector 208 at the air inlet 201 according to the height of the offshore structure model 1023 to ensure that the main wind-receiving position of the offshore structure model 1023 is at the center of the horizontal air flow of the wind generation system 2 during the test.

[0073] Then, the lifting device uses the lifting ring on the cover 101 to lift the cover 101, slowly move the cover 101 to align the bolt holes of the cover 101 with those of the box body 105, and then install bolts to lock and compress the sealing ring to achieve sealing.

[0074] Then, install the assembled model box 1 on the hanging basket of the rotating arm of the centrifuge 10 using the lifting ring on the cover 101. The hanging basket is installed in a vertically swingable manner. At this time, the centrifuge 10 is in a stationary state without centripetal acceleration, and the model box 1 naturally sags under the action of gravity, as Figure 5 shown in the state.

[0075] Step 6: Start the centrifuge 10 Before starting the centrifuge 10, various safety checks should be carried out, including but not limited to the balance between the model box 1 and the counterweight 9 on the rotating arm of the centrifuge 10, the firm connection between the model box 1 and the rotating arm of the centrifuge 10, the firm connection between the counterweight 9 and the rotating arm of the centrifuge 10, the evacuation of the operator and the emptying of the centrifuge chamber 6, etc.

[0076] Start the centrifuge 10. After the rotational speed of the centrifuge 10 reaches the target value and operates stably, at this time, N times the gravitational acceleration of centripetal acceleration is generated. The model box 1 presents a horizontal state under the action of centrifugal force, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown. At this time, the centripetal acceleration field is equivalent to the gravitational acceleration field. Therefore, it can be said that the model box 1 is in a hypergravity field, and the centripetal acceleration at this time is .

[0077] Step 7: Conduct a hypergravity field model test Simulate one or more sea conditions of ocean wind, wave, current, and earthquake according to research needs, and use the monitoring system to effectively monitor the interaction between the soil model seabed 501 - offshore structure model 1023 during the test. The following are several simulated sea conditions.

[0078] When simulating ocean wind: Start the blower 204 to form a closed circulation of the air flow generation above the wave-flow water surface in the upper cavity 102. The blower 204 is frequency-variable controlled, and the wind speed is controlled by the PID control algorithm. The rotational speed is adjusted according to research needs to control the air volume, and a controllable wind speed of up to 30 m / s can be generated above the wave-flow water surface in the upper cavity 102. When the controllable rotational speed of the blower 204 reaches the maximum, an eleven-level sea storm can be simulated.

[0079] When it is necessary to simulate ocean waves: Each wave-making unit of the multi-unit wave maker 301 and the transverse multi-unit wave maker 302 can move synchronously to generate regular waves, solitary waves or random waves according to the wave spectrum, or can move non-synchronously to generate more complex waves. The specific movement process is closed-loop controlled by the control system; when it is necessary to generate a stable target waveform, first start the longitudinal multi-unit wave maker 301 to generate longitudinal waves propagating along the linear velocity direction of the water. The wave-absorbing structure 303 on the opposite side of the longitudinal multi-unit wave maker 301 eliminates the longitudinal wave energy to reduce the reflection of the longitudinal wave. Observe the wave height meter 305 to monitor the generated waveform. After the longitudinal wave generated by the longitudinal multi-unit wave maker 301 is stable, start the transverse multi-unit wave maker 302 to generate transverse waves propagating along the direction of gravity. The wave-absorbing structure 304 on the opposite side of the transverse multi-unit wave maker 302 eliminates the transverse wave energy to reduce the reflection of the transverse wave. Observe the wave height meter 305 to monitor the generated waveform until the longitudinal and transverse wave making in the hypergravity field both reach the target waveform and operate stably.

[0080] When it is necessary to simulate ocean currents: According to the flow velocity similarity ratio and the flow rate similarity ratio determined in step 1, determine the flow rate parameter of the hypergravity field model test, start the flow pump 404 of the flow generation system 4 to form a one-way flow in the upper cavity 102, and monitor the current flow rate value by the flow meter 406 installed on the branch pipe of the flow channel 403; The flow rate passing through the main pipe of the flow channel 403 is calculated by the following formula: (10) In the formula is the main pipe flow rate, is the branch pipe flow rate, which is monitored by the flow meter 406 on the branch pipe; the flow rate calculation of the flow channel satisfies the formula: (11) In the formula is the flow velocity, is the inner diameter of the pipeline; furthermore, the inner diameter of the main pipe of the flow channel 403 and the inner diameters of the branch pipes on both sides of the groove 1021 satisfy the formula: (12) In the formula is the inner diameter of the branch pipe, is the inner diameter of the main pipe; the water flow rate in the upper cavity 102 space: (13) is the width of the upper cavity space, is the water filling depth of the upper cavity space; the monitored value of the flowmeter 406 is known , and the main pipe flow rate can be determined by Formula 10 ; the water flow velocity in the upper cavity 102 space can be calculated by Formula 13: (14) The flow rate is controlled by the classical PID control algorithm. The monitored value of the flowmeter 406 is fed back to the flow-making pump 404 to adjust the flow rate. When the monitored value of the flowmeter 406 reaches the target value and the unidirectional water flow is stable, the flow-making system 4 starts up successfully.

[0081] When it is necessary to simulate a marine earthquake: Start the shaking table 502, and strong earthquakes can be generated on the soil seabed 501 to simulate the process of submarine earthquakes.

[0082] This method can achieve the simulation of the real working conditions of the prototype under a large-span time in a short time by setting the similarity scale N and due to the time-shrinking effect of the scale.
