Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the intersection of water conservancy engineering and intelligent computing, and in particular to a method for predicting the overturning moment of a vertical ship lift rectangular trolley-water-ship coupling system by integrating CFD and an ITransformer-BiLSTM neural network. Background Art

[0002] As an important navigation facility, vertical ship lifts primarily help ships overcome water level differences in the waterway and navigate smoothly by vertically lifting a vessel-and-water container. However, during operation, the movement of the container, the sloshing of the water within the container, and the sloshing of the vessel interact with each other, forming a complex coupled system of container, water, and ship. Under external excitation, this coupled system generates significant hydrodynamic responses, particularly capsizing moments, which affect structural stability. Because analytical calculations of this system are difficult, current engineering projects generally ignore the impact of the vessel and simplify the analysis to a two-dimensional case of water sloshing within the container. While this simplifies the calculations, it underestimates the hydrodynamic loads and leads to an overestimation of the structural safety factor. Therefore, a more accurate capsizing moment prediction method that considers the three-dimensional rectangular container-water-ship coupling is urgently needed to improve the design reliability and operational safety of ship lifts. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a method for predicting the overturning moment of a vertical ship lift rectangular trolley-water-ship coupling system by integrating CFD (fluid dynamics calculation) with an ITransformer-BiLSTM neural network.

[0004] According to one aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a method for predicting the capsizing moment of a vertical ship lift rectangular trolley-water-ship coupling system by integrating CFD and an ITransformer-BiLSTM neural network, comprising: Use 3D modeling software to build 3D models of the rectangular trolley-water-ship system under different working conditions; Select typical earthquake waves as excitation according to the design seismic fortification level of the vertical ship lift and the service area; Select a 3D model, input excitation in the CFD simulation software environment to perform grid independence analysis, obtain the grid size, and then establish CFD simulation models for different working conditions in the CFD simulation software environment based on the grid size; Use excitation to simulate the most dangerous working conditions, input CFD simulation models of different working conditions to perform transient dynamic calculations and overturning moment calculations; Extract calculation results, filter and standardize them, and construct data sets; Construct an overturning moment prediction model based on a neural network and use the dataset for training; Input excitation to the trained overturning moment prediction model and output the overturning moment prediction result.

[0007] As a further technical solution, the specific steps of grid independence analysis are as follows: In the CFD simulation software environment, the selected three-dimensional model is divided into different grid division numbers to obtain multiple CFD simulation models, and the corresponding grid sizes are recorded; Seismic wave excitation is applied to the longitudinal direction of the rectangular tether, and the overturning moment of each CFD model is calculated. The first four peaks of the overturning moment at the longitudinal bottom center of the tether are extracted as the overturning moment calculation results. The CFD models are compared pairwise according to the overturning moment calculation results in the order of the number of mesh divisions from the smallest to the largest. When the error is less than 1%, it is determined that the increase in the number of mesh divisions has no effect on the overturning moment calculation results. The mesh size corresponding to the one with the lower number of mesh divisions is selected as the mesh size.

[0008] As a further technical solution, the method for simulating the most dangerous working conditions is to apply excitation to the ship compartment in the transverse, longitudinal and vertical directions at the same time. As a further technical solution, the extracted calculation results include the results of transient dynamic calculation and calculation of overturning moment, all in vector form; The results of transient dynamic calculations include: ship length / carrier length, ship width / carrier width, ship draft / liquid level, liquid level / carrier height, earthquake acceleration a(t-1) at time t-1, earthquake acceleration a(t) at time t, acceleration a(t+1) at time t+1, hydrodynamic force F(t-1) at time t-1, and hydrodynamic force F(t) at time t; The results of calculating the overturning moment include: the overturning moment M(t-1) at time t-1, the overturning moment M(t) at time t, and the overturning moment M(t+1) at time t+1.

[0009] As a further technical solution, when training the overturning moment prediction model, the overturning moment M(t+1) at time t+1 in the data set is used as the output of the model, and other calculation result data is used as the input of the model.

[0010] As a further technical solution, the overturning moment prediction model is an ITransformer-BiLSTM neural network model. The network structure consists of an input layer, a position encoding layer, an addition layer, a self-attention layer 1, a discard layer 1, a self-attention layer 2, a discard layer 2, a BiLSTM layer, a fully connected layer and an output layer.

[0011] According to one aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a capsizing moment prediction system for a vertical ship lift rectangular trolley-water-ship coupling system, comprising: The 3D model building module builds a 3D model of the rectangular ship-carrying compartment-water-ship system based on the designed ship tonnage and ship type of the vertical ship lift; Excitation simulation module, which generates seismic wave type excitation; CFD model building module, to establish the ship type and the CFD simulation model of the rectangular ship-water-ship system; CFD analysis module, used for transient dynamics calculation and overturning moment calculation of CFD simulation models; The data set construction module extracts the calculation results of the CFD analysis module, filters and standardizes them to construct a data set; The overturning moment prediction module builds an overturning moment prediction model based on a neural network, provides overturning moment prediction functions, and also includes: the overturning moment prediction model training function; The result output module outputs the overturning moment prediction results.

[0019] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 The flowchart of a method for predicting the capsizing moment of a vertical ship lift rectangular tether-water-ship coupling system that integrates CFD and an ITransformer-BiLSTM neural network in an embodiment of the present invention includes: Use 3D modeling software to build 3D models of the rectangular trolley-water-ship system under different working conditions; Select typical earthquake waves as excitation according to the design seismic fortification level of the vertical ship lift and the service area; Select a 3D model, input excitation in the CFD simulation software environment to perform grid independence analysis, obtain the grid size, and then establish CFD simulation models for different working conditions in the CFD simulation software environment based on the grid size; Use excitation to simulate the most dangerous working conditions, input CFD simulation models of different working conditions to perform transient dynamic calculations and overturning moment calculations; Extract calculation results, filter and standardize them, and construct data sets; Construct an overturning moment prediction model based on a neural network and use the dataset for training; Input excitation to the trained overturning moment prediction model and output the overturning moment prediction result.

[0020] Specifically, the three-dimensional model refers to the designed ship passing tonnage and ship type design of the vertical ship lift. Different values ​​within the designed ship passing tonnage range of the vertical ship lift and different load states of the ship form different working conditions.

[0021] Specifically, the CFD simulation model: The fluid volume fraction model is used to track the free surface; The standard k-ε turbulence model is used to describe the turbulent behavior of the fluid; The ship compartment and the ship are considered as rigid bodies and the heat exchange is neglected; Use six-degree-of-freedom solver and user-defined functions to simulate the free swaying of ships; The mesh around the moving ship is updated in real time using dynamic mesh technology, implicit volume update technology is adopted, and mesh smoothing and mesh re-division methods are combined.

[0022] Specifically, the steps of grid independence analysis are as follows: In the CFD simulation software environment, the selected three-dimensional model is divided into different grid division numbers to obtain multiple CFD simulation models, and the corresponding grid sizes are recorded; Seismic wave excitation is applied to the longitudinal direction of the rectangular tether, and the overturning moment of each CFD model is calculated. The first four peaks of the overturning moment at the longitudinal bottom center of the tether are extracted as the overturning moment calculation results. The CFD models are compared pairwise according to the overturning moment calculation results in the order of the number of mesh divisions from the smallest to the largest. When the error is less than 1%, it is determined that the increase in the number of mesh divisions has no effect on the overturning moment calculation results. The mesh size corresponding to the one with the lower number of mesh divisions is selected as the mesh size.

[0023] Specifically, the method for simulating the most dangerous working condition is: applying excitation to the carrier compartment in the transverse, longitudinal and vertical directions simultaneously.

[0024] As a further technical solution, the extracted calculation results include the results of transient dynamic calculation and calculation of overturning moment, all in vector form; The results of transient dynamic calculations include: ship length / carrier length, ship width / carrier width, ship draft / liquid level, liquid level / carrier height, earthquake acceleration a(t-1) at time t-1, earthquake acceleration a(t) at time t, acceleration a(t+1) at time t+1, hydrodynamic force F(t-1) at time t-1, and hydrodynamic force F(t) at time t; The results of calculating the overturning moment include: the overturning moment M(t-1) at time t-1, the overturning moment M(t) at time t, and the overturning moment M(t+1) at time t+1.

[0025] Specifically, when training the overturning moment prediction model, the overturning moment M(t+1) at time t+1 in the data set is used as the output of the model, and other calculation result data are used as the input of the model.

[0026] Specifically, the overturning moment prediction model is an ITransformer-BiLSTM neural network model, such as Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the Transformer-BiLSTM neural network model in an embodiment of the present invention. The Transformer portion of the neural network includes two self-attention mechanisms and a dropout layer, which are connected in series with the BiLSTM structure to form a hybrid model. The network structure consists of an input layer, a position encoding layer, an addition layer, self-attention layer 1, dropout layer 1, self-attention layer 2, dropout layer 2, a BiLSTM layer, a fully connected layer, and an output layer.

[0027] A method for predicting the overturning moment of a vertical ship lift rectangular ship support box-water body-ship coupling system comprises the following steps: (1) The ship-carrying compartment, water body inside the compartment and ship in the national key R&D program "200m-class large vertical ship lift complete set technology" are taken as the research objects. According to the design requirements, the tonnage of the ship is between 1000t and 3000t, and four working conditions are set: no ship empty, 1000t full load, 3000t empty and 3000t full load. Use SolidWorks to build three-dimensional models of different working conditions. When modeling, the ship-carrying compartment and ship are simplified into rectangles. The ship size and draft refer to the design requirements as follows: Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the ship lift structure and three-dimensional model diagrams of four working conditions in an embodiment of the present invention: (a) 1000t full load, (b) 3000t no load, (c) 3000t full load, and (d) no ship.

[0028] (2) Considering the location of the vertical ship lift and the seismic fortification level required by the design, a typical 10-second seismic wave that meets the regional characteristics of the service area is selected as the excitation and saved in the PROFILE file format that can be read by ANSYS-Fluent.

[0029] (3) Ansys-Fluent was selected as the CFD simulation software: the volume fraction (VOF) model was used to track the free surface. The standard k-ε turbulence model was used to describe the turbulent behavior of the fluid. The ship compartment and the ship were treated as rigid bodies and heat exchange was ignored. The free swaying of the ship was simulated using a six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) solver and user-defined functions (UDFs). The mesh around the moving ship was updated in real time using dynamic mesh technology. Mesh smoothing and mesh re-division methods were combined to prevent the generation of negative volume in the mesh. Implicit volume update technology was used to improve the convergence and stability of transient calculations.

[0030] (4) Randomly select one of the different three-dimensional ship-carrier-water-ship models established, divide them into grids of different sizes, and thus generate calculation models with different numbers of grids. Then, perform grid independence analysis, apply typical seismic wave excitation, calculate each model, and extract the first four peaks of the overturning moment at the longitudinal bottom center of the ship-carrier as comparison indicators. It is required that as the number of grids increases, when the error of the calculation result is less than 1%, the grid size with the smaller number of grids is selected as the basis for the final grid division. Taking the 3000t no-load model as an example, the number of grids is set to 504808, 650728, 1120848 and 3443384, respectively, and the corresponding grid sizes are 0.36m, 0.32m, 0.27m and 0.18m, respectively. A 7-magnitude EL-Centro seismic wave is applied to the longitudinal direction of the ship-carrier, with a peak acceleration amplitude of 0.1g. After calculation, the first four peaks of the overturning moment at the longitudinal bottom center of the ship-carrier are extracted as comparison indicators. As shown in Table 1, Table 1 is the peak value of the longitudinal overturning moment at the bottom center of the 3000t empty ship compartment and the peak value comparison table under different grid numbers.

[0031] Table 1 Comparison of the peak longitudinal overturning moment at the bottom center of a 3000t empty ship compartment under different grid numbers and peak values

[0032] As shown in Table 1, as the number of grid cells increases, the errors between the four peak overturning moment calculation results gradually decrease, and the results tend to be stable. In particular, when the number of grid cells is increased from 1120848 to 3443384, the error between the two results is less than 1%. It can be considered that the increase in the number of grid cells at this point has little effect on the results. To balance calculation accuracy and efficiency, this paper selects a number of cells of approximately 1120848, which corresponds to a grid size of approximately 0.27m. Based on this grid size, a CFD simulation model of a three-dimensional rectangular tether-water-ship system under different working conditions is established.

[0033] When the ship compartment is subjected to lateral, longitudinal and vertical earthquake excitations at the same time, the hydrodynamic load caused by the coupled motion of the water body and the ship in the compartment is the largest. This paper selects this working condition as the most dangerous working condition, adopts transient dynamic calculation to ensure the safety of the design, and then calculates the overturning moment of the four models under the most dangerous working condition. For the 3000t no-load model, the calculation formula derived under the previous two-dimensional model is compared and analyzed with the results of the CFD simulation of the three-dimensional model of the present invention. Figure 4 shown.

[0034] The results show that the CFD simulation results of the three-dimensional model proposed in this invention are in good agreement with the calculation results of the previous two-dimensional model in terms of trend, but the calculation results of the three-dimensional model are significantly higher than those of the two-dimensional model, especially in the calculation of the longitudinal overturning moment, the calculation peak of the three-dimensional model is about 20% to 30% higher. This is because the three-dimensional model takes into account the coupled sloshing effect of the ship and the water body, and can more realistically reflect the actual hydrodynamic load characteristics. In contrast, the two-dimensional model ignores the impact of the ship on the sloshing of the water body, resulting in a lower prediction value. This simplified assumption may lead to an underestimation of the working load on the ship compartment in actual engineering design, thereby affecting the safety of the design.

[0035] (5) Extracting calculation data. For the calculation data, the Z-score method is first used to detect outliers to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data. Then the data is standardized to remove the dimension effect. The 11 vectors including ship length / carrier length, ship width / carrier width, ship draft / liquid level, liquid level / carrier height, accelerations a(t-1) and a(t) at time t-1 and time t, hydrodynamic forces F(t-1) and F(t), capsizing moment M(t-1) and M(t), and acceleration a(t+1) at time t+1 are used as the input of the model. The capsizing moment M(t+1) at time t+1 is used as the single output of the model to construct a data set for training the prediction model. In order to ensure the generalization ability and reliability of the neural network model, the data set is divided into training set, validation set and test set, and distributed in a ratio of 7:2:1.

[0036] (6) In the parameter selection of the ITransformer-BiLSTM model, the self-attention mechanism was adopted, with 2 attention heads and 4 keys. The number of neurons in the input layer was equal to the number of input vectors, the hidden layer was set to 64 neurons, and the output layer of both neural network models was set to 1 neuron. The maximum number of training generations was 70, the batch size was set to the default value of 50, and the target value of the training error was set to 1×10 -5 .

[0037] (7) For the dataset of predicted overturning moment, LSTM, BiLSTM, ELMAN and ITransformer-BiLSTM models were established for comparison. The normalized evaluation indicators of the overturning moment prediction effect are shown in Table 2.

[0038] Table 2 Five evaluation indicators of overturning moment prediction performance under different algorithms

[0039] As shown in the table, on the training set, the IT-B model achieved a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.14180, a mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of 0.64664%, a mean square error (MSE) of 0.04504, a root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.21222, and a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.97044, all significantly outperforming the other three models. Results on the validation and test sets also show that the IT-B model maintains the best performance in terms of both error metrics and goodness of fit. The BiLSTM model outperformed the LSTM and ELMAN models, but still lagged behind the IT-B model. The LSTM and ELMAN models performed relatively poorly. The ELMAN model, in particular, achieved a MAPE of 4.38460% on the validation set and an R² of only 0.75928 on the test set, indicating weak generalization ability in the overturning moment prediction task.

[0040] (8) Save the training results of the ITransformer-BiLSTM neural network based on MATLAB in .m format so that it can be called when calculating the overturning moment under other excitations.
