TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of water flow wave abatement, and more particularly to an underwater vibration table disturbance wave active elimination method and device based on potential flow theory. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the experiment of the underwater vibration table, the vibration of the vibration table will cause disturbance waves, which not only affect the stability of the experimental environment, but also can have a significant impact on the test results. Especially in precise experiments, the disturbance waves caused by the vibration of the underwater vibration table are easy to interfere with other test equipment, reduce the experimental precision, and even make the experiment unable to proceed smoothly. Therefore, how to effectively suppress and eliminate the disturbance waves generated by the underwater vibration table has become a technical problem to be solved in underwater vibration experiments.

[0003] In the past research and application, there have been some methods to try to weaken the disturbance waves generated by the underwater vibration table, such as through physical barriers (such as breakwaters, wave abatement plates, etc.) or using wave makers to generate opposite waveforms for interference. Among them, the interference through physical barriers is mainly to prevent the propagation of disturbance waves or guide them to the edge of the pool to minimize the impact of waves, but the physical method does not have precise wave control ability and cannot be adjusted in real time according to the characteristics of the disturbance waves. The method of using wave makers to generate opposite waveforms to eliminate waves is mainly based on experimental or theoretical models to calculate the influence area of the disturbance waves and use wave makers to generate reverse waves to offset the disturbance waves. This method relies on the pre-analysis of the disturbance waves generated by the vibration table, and usually there is no accurate wave prediction, and it is also impossible to adjust the waveform in real time.

[0004] Most of the existing technologies rely on post-reaction to the disturbance waves, and lack accurate prediction and active control ability of the disturbance waves. The wave surface of the disturbance waves generated by the vibration table cannot be accurately predicted, so it is impossible to achieve real-time and accurate absorption of the disturbance waves.

[0038] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0039] First, the vibration table and the wave pool are introduced in combination with Figures 1-2 The method for actively eliminating disturbance waves of an underwater vibration table based on potential flow theory provided by the embodiments of the present application is introduced as follows. Figure 1 As shown in the method, the method comprises the following steps.

[0040] In step S01, the wave shape information of the disturbance wave is calculated according to the motion time history of the vibration table and the physical characteristics of the wave pool.

[0041] Specifically, the wave shape information of the disturbance wave is calculated by the derived disturbance wave surface equation according to the motion time history of the vibration table and the physical characteristics of the wave pool. The calculation formula of the disturbance wave surface is as follows.

[0042]

[0043] Wherein, U is the maximum speed of the vibration table, ω is the angular frequency of the vibration table, k, k n is the wave number, which is used to describe the propagation characteristics of the wave, b is the half-table length of the vibration table, h is the water depth, x is the position of the disturbance wave, and t is the propagation time of the disturbance wave.

[0044] The wave height information of the disturbance wave at different propagation positions x and propagation times t can be obtained by the calculation formula of the disturbance wave surface.

[0045] In step S02, the propagation distance between the wave maker and the underwater vibration table is obtained.

[0046] Specifically, after the calculation of the disturbance wave surface, the position of the wave maker needs to be determined. The position of the wave maker is a key factor affecting the absorption effect of the disturbance wave, and the distance between the wave maker and the vibration table is usually set to ensure the maximum efficiency of wave absorption. The distance between the wave maker and the vibration table can be adjusted according to the specific requirements of the experimental site. As shown in the figure, Figure 3 The distance between the wave maker 2 and the vibration table 1 is l.

[0047] In step S03, the propagation speed of the disturbance wave is calculated.

[0048] Specifically, the propagation speed of the disturbance wave is a key parameter affecting its propagation process. The wave speed can be calculated using the following formula:

[0049]

[0050] Where c is the propagation speed, g is the gravitational acceleration, and k is the wave number.

[0051] Step S04: Calculate the target time when the disturbance wave propagates to the wave-generating plate based on the propagation speed and propagation distance.

[0052] Specifically, based on the propagation speed of the disturbance wave, the time it takes for the disturbance wave to travel from the vibration table to the wave-generating plate is calculated to determine the start-up timing (target time) of the wave generator. This ensures the wave generator can start at the target time, thereby accurately generating a reverse wave to eliminate the disturbance wave. The formula for calculating the target time is:

[0053]

[0054] Where t1 is the target time, l is the propagation distance, and c is the propagation speed.

[0055] Step S05: At the target time, start the wave generator and control the displacement of the wave generator push plate in real time according to the waveform information to generate a wave surface opposite to the disturbance wave.

[0056] Specifically, based on the calculated target time t1, the wave generator is activated at the target time. The displacement of the wave generator's pusher plate is controlled in real time based on waveform information to generate waves opposite to the disturbance wave, thereby achieving active wave absorption. For example... Figure 3 As shown, based on the waveform information η zdj (x, t) represents the displacement X of the push plate. a .

[0057] The formula for calculating the displacement of the wave generator pusher plate based on waveform information is as follows:

[0058]

[0059] Among them, X a For the displacement of the push plate, X a (t) represents the pusher displacement at different propagation times t, M is the transfer function of the wave generator, representing the relationship between the pusher displacement and the wave surface, and η zdj (x, t) represents the waveform information of the interference wave.

[0060] This invention proposes a method for eliminating disturbance waves from an underwater shaking table based on active wave absorption control. First, by analyzing the shaking table's vibration time history and the physical characteristics of the water tank, the wave surface equation for the disturbance wave is derived using potential flow theory. This equation can accurately calculate the wave height of the disturbance wave generated by the underwater shaking table in the water tank. The calculation formula for the disturbance wave considers parameters such as the shaking table's amplitude, frequency, and wave velocity, thus providing accurate wave surface data for subsequent control. Next, by determining the position of the wave generator and the propagation speed of the disturbance wave in the water tank, the time it takes for the disturbance wave to propagate from the shaking table to the wave generator is calculated. This propagation time calculation is based on the wave velocity and the distance from the shaking table to the wave generator, ensuring precise timing of wave propagation.

[0061] After determining the propagation time, the wave generator will be activated at the target time. Based on the known waveform of the disturbance wave, the pusher displacement of the wave generator is adjusted in real time to generate a wave opposite to the disturbance wave, thereby achieving active absorption of the disturbance wave. The pusher displacement is calculated based on the wave surface information of the disturbance wave and the transfer function of the wave generator, ensuring that the generated reverse wave cancels out the disturbance wave. Furthermore, the operating state of the wave generator is adjusted in real time based on the dynamic changes of the disturbance wave and feedback information to further improve the wave attenuation effect. This invention can accurately and efficiently eliminate disturbance waves generated by underwater shaking tables, improving the stability of experimental equipment in the water tank and the accuracy of experimental results.
