Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of ship hydrodynamics, and particularly relates to a method for quickly and accurately calculating Kelvin wave of a square stern ship based on Neumann-Michell steady wave making theory, and capable of considering the nonlinear influence of the concave area of the free surface behind the square stern ship. BACKGROUND

[0002] The Kelvin wave of a square stern ship is different from that of a common ship. The Kelvin wave of a common ship is mainly determined by the hull surface. However, there is a significant concave area (with strong nonlinearity) on the free surface behind the stern plate of a square stern ship, and the Kelvin wave of the square stern ship is determined by the hull surface and the concave area. The wave system of the concave area helps to understand the characteristics of the wave system of the square stern ship and solve related engineering problems such as ship design.

[0003] The traditional CFD numerical calculation method can well calculate the complete Kelvin wave behind the square stern ship. However, on the one hand, the calculation time is long, and on the other hand, since the CFD method calculates the Kelvin wave generated by the hull surface and the concave area behind the ship, it cannot calculate the independent evolution process of the wave system of the concave area at the stern of the ship.

[0004] The Neumann-Michell (NM) theory is a potential flow method for calculating the steady wave making flow field of a ship invented by Professor Francis Noblesse in 2013, which only needs to distribute sources and sinks on the hull surface to quickly calculate the flow field of the ship. However, when calculating the square stern ship, the current theory usually chooses to directly ignore the influence of the square stern surface and only considers the influence of the two sides of the hull surface.

[0005] Therefore, although the Neumann-Michell (NM) theory can quickly predict the Kelvin wave of a common ship, the existing method cannot consider the nonlinear influence of the concave area behind the square stern ship, resulting in insufficient accuracy of the Kelvin wave prediction of the square stern ship.

[0006] Therefore, it is urgent to propose a theoretical method that can quickly predict the Kelvin wave of a square stern ship and calculate the independent contribution of the hull surface and the concave area behind the square stern to the Kelvin wave. SUMMARY

[0007] The main purpose of the present application is to propose a method for quickly predicting the Kelvin wave of a square stern ship considering the nonlinear influence of the concave area behind the ship. The method decomposes the Kelvin wave into a hull surface contribution component and a concave area behind the free surface contribution component, realizes independent calculation, and can more accurately reveal the wave system structure characteristics of the square stern ship. Compared with the numerical calculation method, the theoretical calculation method proposed in the present application greatly shortens the calculation time.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application.

[0053] The present application proposes a fast prediction method of Kelvin wave form of square stern ship considering the nonlinear influence of the recessed area behind the ship, including the following steps:

[0054] S1, considering the nonlinear influence of the recessed area of the free surface behind the square stern ship, modifying the Neumann-Michell theory, and decomposing the Kelvin wave of the square stern ship into the hull surface contribution component ζ S and the contribution component ζ of the recessed area of the free surface behind the ship F .

[0055] S2, calculating the hull surface contribution component ζ S using the Neumann-Michell theory; and calculating the contribution component ζ of the recessed area of the free surface behind the ship F considering the nonlinear influence of the recessed area of the free surface behind the square stern ship alone, and the nonlinear influence is obtained by integrating the velocity potential of the free surface on the surface of the recessed area of the free surface behind the square stern ship.

[0056] S3, summing the hull surface contribution component ζ S and the contribution component ζ of the recessed area of the free surface behind the ship F to predict the Kelvin wave form of the square stern ship.

[0057] The present embodiment takes NPL-4a ship type as the object, and calculates the Kelvin wave form of the ship type by using the method. The following is one of the specific implementation steps of the method:

[0058] First step, according to the given ship type, determine the ship speed V s , ship length L s , stern draft height T r , calculate the ship F r and F T :

[0059]

[0060] Second step, according to F T , calculate E dry / T r and η dry :

[0061]

[0062] η dry =(E dry / T r )×(T r / L S )

[0063] Third step, according to F r , calculate the length of the free surface depression area behind the ship l h :

[0064]

[0065] Further obtain the free surface depression height η0 behind the ship:

[0066] η0=y * x * with-0.5-l h ≤x≤-0.5,|y|<b

[0067] Wherein:

[0068]

[0069] x * =-1-(x+0.5) / l h

[0070] Non-dimensional square stern width b=B s / L S , B s represents the dimensional square stern width.

[0071] Fourth step, according to the x direction component n of the normal of the free surface depression surface of the stern of the shipx , the x-direction partial derivative of the Local term L and the Wave term W of the Green function x , W x , the x-direction partial derivative of the Hogner velocity potential of the field point position:

[0077] Sixth step, according to the x-direction partial derivative of the x, y, z components of the free surface velocity potential Local term of the field point position And the x-direction partial derivative of the x, y, z components of the free surface velocity potential Wave term of the field point position The x-direction partial derivative of the free surface velocity potential of the field point position can be calculated:

[0078]

[0079] Seventh step, according to the calculated x-direction partial derivative of the free surface velocity potential of the field point position, the contribution component ζ F of the Kelvin wave of the free surface depression area behind the ship is obtained:

[0080]

[0081] Eighth step, the complete Kelvin wave height of the square stern ship is calculated as:

[0082] ζ = ζ S + ζ F

[0083] According to the above steps, develop the corresponding program. Based on the hull shape, ship speed, transom height, and transom width, the wave height distribution of the Kelvin wave of the transom stern ship can be directly calculated. It should be noted that when programming according to the fast prediction method of the Kelvin wave form of the transom stern ship proposed in this invention, it is not limited to the above specific implementation steps. In other embodiments, it is also possible to first solve the contribution component of the sunken area of the free liquid surface behind the ship, and then solve the contribution component of the hull surface (i.e., place steps six and seven before steps four and five).

[0084] Using the method of this invention, the Kelvin wave form calculated by the developed program (displaying the two-dimensional wave height distribution with Tecplot) is compared with the CFD calculation results. See Figure 2 . From Figure 2 , it can be seen that the method of this invention is in good agreement with the CFD method. The CFD method uses the commercial software StarCCM+, the control equation uses the SIMPLE algorithm, the free liquid surface is captured using the VOF method, and the flow field (X, Y, Z) range is 2.5Ls < X < -4Ls, 0 < Y < 2Ls, -2Ls < Z < 1.5Ls. The y+ range within the boundary layer is 30 < y+ < 100, and the time step is 0.005s. The calculation grid is approximately 1.96 million. The traditional CFD method takes more than several hours to calculate, while this method takes less than 30s.

[0085] Figure 3 [[ID=ID=11]]These are the two components of the Kelvin wave of the transom stern ship calculated by this method, namely the contribution component ζ S ( Figure 3 upper part) and the contribution component ζ F ( Figure 3 lower part) of the sunken area of the free liquid surface behind the ship.From Figure 3 , it can be seen that the contribution component ζ F of the sunken area of the free liquid surface behind the ship only exists behind the ship, and its contribution to the Kelvin wave of the transom stern ship is significant. Moreover, there is a certain phase difference between ζ F and the contribution component ζ S of the hull surface. All these can reveal the wave system structure characteristics of the transom stern ship.

[0086] It should be pointed out that according to the needs of implementation, each step / component described in this application can be split into more steps / components, or two or more steps / components or partial operations of steps / components can be combined into new steps / components to achieve the purpose of this invention.

[0087] The size of the serial numbers of each step in the above embodiments does not mean the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation to the implementation process of the embodiments of this application.

[0088] It is to be understood that all such modifications and variations that can occur to those skilled in the art in the light of the foregoing description are to be considered within the scope of the application as defined in the claims appended hereto.
