Potential flow wave field data at each time step are typically output in an interpolable grid format.

The number of fluid particles on the surface.

[0030] Near-field computational domain Fluid particles are distributed inside; please refer to [the relevant documentation]. Figure 3 The diagram shown illustrates the near-field computational domain. Each fluid particle in the first The physical properties at each time step are known, including those of fluid particles at the [number]th time step. Position at each time step Particle velocity and pressure The physical properties of the fluid particle in the first time step are obtained through initialization, and the physical properties of the fluid particle from the second time step onwards are calculated from the previous time step.

[0031] To achieve flow field coupling between the potential flow method and the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method, a mass flux boundary condition is proposed. The number of fluid particles is adjusted based on the mass flux to realize mass transfer between the potential flow method and the SPH method, including the following steps: First, at the outer boundary of the coupling region Update the mass flux grid cells, and then you can determine the mass flux based on the first... The potential flow wave field data at the nth time step is used to calculate the first... Within time step, the flow passes through any i-th time step Mass flux of each mass flux grid cell The calculation formula is:

The cumulative flux value after wave action at each time step, specifically: For any i The mass flux grid cell will be the first The mass flux grid cell at the th Cumulative flux value after wave action at each time step With the initial volume of each fluid particle Compare them.

[0035] when At that time, in the A new fluid particle is generated at the center node of each mass flux grid cell, and the first fluid particle is updated. The mass flux grid cell at the th Cumulative flux of wave action at each time step .

[0036] when At that time, delete the outer boundary of the coupling region that is coupled with the first The center node of each mass flux grid cell is located at the nearest fluid particle, and the first... The mass flux grid cell at the th Cumulative flux value after wave action at each time step .

[0037] Step 140, according to the first The potential flow wave field data at the nth time step is updated by spatial interpolation to update the fluid particles in the coupling region at the nth time step. Physical properties at each time step.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 3 Furthermore, the coupling region is divided into a forced region and a buffer region. The forced region is the area within the coupling region that is close to the far-field computational domain. The local region, the buffer region is the region within the coupling area that is far from the far-field computational domain. The sizes of the forced region and the buffer region can be customized, with the buffer region generally larger than the forced region. To facilitate differentiation, the near-field computational domain can be used. Fluid particles within the fluid are classified into three categories, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the near-field computational domain Fluid particles in the free region outside the coupling region are denoted as free particles, fluid particles in the forced region of the coupling region are denoted as forced particles, and fluid particles in the buffer region of the coupling region are denoted as buffer particles.

[0039] In utilizing the first When updating the physical properties of forced particles and buffer particles within the coupling region using potential flow wave field data at each time step, different methods are used to update the physical properties of forced particles and buffer particles, including: (1) For forced particles, directly use the first The spatial interpolation result of the potential flow wave field data at the time step is directly taken as the updated physical property of the forced particle at the time step. The spatial interpolation result of the potential flow wave field data at the time step is directly taken as the updated physical property of the forced particle at the time step.

[0040] In order to accurately reflect the dynamic coupling, the spatial interpolation is not directly performed on the position of the forced particle as its physical property, but includes the following three steps: The first step is to obtain the pre-calculated position of the forced particle by spatial interpolation using the potential flow wave field data at the time step, to preliminarily estimate the position reached by the forced particle under the action of the wave, specifically: The position of the forced particle is obtained by spatial interpolation using the potential flow wave field data at the time step , and the particle velocity at the position is calculated , and then the pre-calculated position of the forced particle at the time step is calculated . The second step is to perform free surface correction and particle uniform distribution processing on the forced particles in the coupling region to obtain the updated position of the forced particle at the time step , to ensure accurate coupling of the free surface and to prevent non-physical particle deviation. Specifically: After obtaining the pre-calculated position of the forced particle in the first step , the wave height in the coupling region is used to correct the position of the forced particle at the free surface at the time step

[0041] , and the forced particles at the non-free surface are processed by particle uniform distribution to obtain the updated position of the forced particle at the time step , and the formula is as follows: For the forced particles at the free surface, the position of the forced particles at the free surface at the time step is corrected using the wave height in the coupling region contained in the potential flow wave field data, to obtain the updated position of the forced particles at the free surface at the time step , is the wave height at the pre-calculated position of the forced particle at the free surface at the time step .

[0042] ​​​​​​​​​For forced particles at non-free liquid surfaces, particle displacement techniques are used to correct their positions to ensure uniform distribution. This improves the stability and accuracy of their use as boundary conditions in calculations. Thus, the position of the forced particles at non-free liquid surfaces is obtained in the [fifth]... The updated position at each time step .in, This represents the displacement correction amount of the currently forced particle, and:

[0043] in, For CFL numbers, Mach number, For smooth length, The current forced particle density, The current forced particle Fluid particles within the support domain density, Fluid particles quality The current forced particle and fluid particles within its supporting domain The kernel function values ​​between Indicates the current forced particle The spatial gradient of the location, It is the initial particle spacing The kernel function value.

[0044] The third step is to obtain all the forced particles in the second step. The updated position at each time step Then, using the first Spatial interpolation of potential flow wave field data at each time step yields the updated position of the forced particles. particle velocity at that location and pressure And respectively, as forced particles in the first Particle velocity updated at each time step and the pressure after the update .

[0045] (2) For buffer particles, using the first Spatial interpolation results of potential flow wave field data at time step and buffer particles at the . The physical properties at each time step are weighted to obtain the buffer particle at the [number]th time step. The updated physical properties at each time step, specifically for any buffer particle: Keep the buffer particles in the first The position of the buffer particle at the time step is taken as the updated position .

[0046] The potential flow wave field data at the time step is used to perform spatial interpolation to obtain the position of the buffer particle The particle velocity and pressure at the position of the buffer particle are obtained, and then the updated particle velocity and pressure of the buffer particle at the time step are obtained by weighting according to the following formula :

[0047] wherein the weight coefficient , and , represents the distance between the buffer particle at the position and the inner boundary of the coupling region in the water tank coordinate system axis direction, is the width of the buffer region in the water tank coordinate system axis direction. The water tank coordinate system is a common Cartesian coordinate system, and the axis direction of the water tank coordinate system is perpendicular to the two side boundaries of the coupling region and is generally along the wave propagation direction. Thus, the closer the buffer particle is to the free region, the smaller the , and the smaller the weight coefficient used, that is, the smaller the proportion of the spatial interpolation result of the potential flow wave field data used in the update, so that the buffer transition is realized. In the update process of the forced particle, the weight coefficient can also be understood as being used to weight the spatial interpolation result of the potential flow wave field data and the original physical properties according to the above form, so that when the particles at different positions in the coupling region are updated, the change of the weight coefficient is as shown in Figure 4 .

[0048] Step 150, the SPH fluid-structure coupling calculation is performed in the near-field calculation domain with the updated fluid particles in the coupling region as the boundary condition, to obtain the potential viscous flow coupling analysis result of the structure at the time step .

[0049] First, the SPH control equation is solved in the near-field calculation domain with the updated fluid particles in the coupling region as the boundary condition, to update the physical properties of other fluid particles in the near-field calculation domain at the time step .

[0050] Then, based on the updated physical properties of all fluid particles in the near-field calculation domain at the time step , the potential viscous flow coupling analysis result of the structure at the time step​ fluid force received by a fluid particle at a time step and fluid force moment When performing SPH fluid-structure interaction calculation, the main task is to solve the fluid particle force on the structure particle and the force moment on the structure, and the fluid force and the force moment are integrated to obtain the fluid force and the force moment received by the whole structure and force moment .

[0051] Finally, the physical properties of the fluid particle and the structure are updated by using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta integration, including the fluid force and fluid force moment The motion response of the structure at the first time step is obtained by using the rigid body motion equation of the structure:

[0052] wherein, is the mass of the structure, is the moment of inertia of the structure around the center of mass, is the displacement of the center of mass of the structure, is the velocity of the center of mass of the structure, is the angular displacement of the structure, is the angular velocity of the structure. is the acceleration of gravity, denotes time.

[0053] After updating the physical properties of the fluid particle and the state of the structure, the next time step is entered, and steps 120-150 are performed again, so as to obtain the motion response and impact load of the structure at different times.

[0054] In another embodiment, after completing the SPH fluid-structure interaction calculation and updating the physical properties of the fluid particle in the near-field calculation domain, that is, at the end of each time step, for the fluid particle moving to the outside boundary of the coupling region, it is called a boundary-crossing particle, and after deleting the boundary-crossing particle, the flux accumulation value of the first mass flux grid cell closest to the boundary-crossing particle after the wave action at the first time step is updated to and then the next time step is entered. In this way, through the double detection of mass flux comparison and particle boundary crossing, the coupling accuracy of the potential flow method and the SPH method can be improved.

[0055] In an example, a three-degree-of-freedom floating body is impacted by a two-dimensional focused wave, as shown in Figure 2The flow field calculation domain of the structure is a pool, and the wave is generated by the wave board on the left side of the pool and propagates to the right. During the process, the wave gradually evolves to form a focusing wave, and finally impacts on the structure to cause the phenomenon of upwelling and impact load. For such strong nonlinear free surface problems with large deformation or even breaking, the classic grid-based CFD method needs to set very fine grids near the free surface to accurately capture the evolution of the free surface, and it is difficult to accurately capture phenomena such as splashing. For the SPH method, a large amount of computing resources will be consumed in the simulation of the early wave propagation and evolution process, and the quality of wave simulation is not as good as the potential flow method. By using the potential viscous flow coupling analysis method of the present application, the SPH method is used to simulate the strong nonlinear fluid-solid coupling in the near-field calculation domain of the structure, and the high-order spectral potential flow method is used to simulate the propagation and evolution of the wave in the far-field calculation domain, which can effectively solve the above problems of simulation of strong nonlinear free surface, calculation efficiency and wave simulation quality.
