Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention discloses a hydrodynamic calculation method for moored underwater mooring based on an adaptive resistance coefficient, belonging to the fields of marine engineering and computer-aided computing technology. Background Technology

[0002] Submersible mooring systems are widely used for long-term continuous observation of the marine dynamic environment. Their underwater attitude and stress state directly affect the actual working depth of the observation instruments and the data quality. Existing methods for calculating the attitude and hydrodynamics of submersible mooring systems are mostly based on static or quasi-static assumptions, with the Mooring Design & Dynamics (MD&D) model being a typical example.

[0003] The MD&D model typically uses a fixed drag coefficient Cd in drag force calculations. While this approach offers advantages in computational stability, it is essentially based on a steady drag assumption, neglecting the dynamic response characteristics of the drag coefficient as a function of local flow velocity, angle of attack, and Reynolds number. In strong current and multi-timescale flow environments, this assumption fails to accurately reflect the true hydrodynamic response of the mooring cable and mooring components, leading to increased errors in the calculation of mooring attitude and tension.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a hydrodynamic calculation method that can introduce an adaptive adjustment mechanism for the drag coefficient while maintaining the stability of the traditional mooring calculation framework. Summary of the Invention

[0128] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, provides further details. The adaptive convergence logic of the method of the present invention is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the initialization begins first. and Then enter the initial... and Then update and and update Then judge If the conditions are not met, return to update. and Steps, if the conditions are met, output. ;in Angle of attack for the current time span, For the angle of attack over the previous time span, This is the angle of attack convergence threshold, which is usually set to 0.01 rad.

[0129] The underwater mooring system used in this embodiment includes a float, mooring lines, several observation equipment nodes arranged along the axis of the lines, and an anchoring structure. The relative positions of each equipment node on the lines are determined according to the underwater mooring deployment plan. Each node serves as the basic unit for hydrodynamic calculations and force balance analysis. , , , Set as Three-layer window moving average, with the window size determined based on ADCP interlayer spacing and observation noise level;

[0130] Calculated using empirical formulas :

[0131] .

[0132] First, based on the structural parameters of the underwater mooring system, the continuous mooring cables are discretized, nodes are set at the connection points of adjacent cable segments, and the connection relationships between nodes are established. Then, the time span for hydrodynamic calculations is determined, and the flow velocity and depth information acquired by the observation equipment is read. For some equipment nodes that do not directly acquire depth information, the equivalent depth of the corresponding node is determined based on the cable length relationship between it and nodes equipped with depth sensors, thereby constructing the depth time series for each equipment node.

[0133] Based on this, flow velocity observation data at different depths are mapped to corresponding nodes according to the depth of each device node, forming a node-level flow velocity time series. The flow velocity input contains significant multi-timescale variation characteristics, as illustrated in the diagram below. Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, this is used to characterize the complex background flow conditions that a mooring may encounter in a real marine dynamic environment.

[0134] After completing the input of flow velocity and structural parameters, according to Figure 1 The adaptive drag coefficient hydrodynamic calculation process for moored underwater vehicles (MAVs) is shown, which performs quasi-static iterative calculations on the MAV system. Specifically, in each iteration, the cable axis direction is determined based on the node positions and the spatial geometric relationships between adjacent cable segments, and the angle of attack and Reynolds number of the corresponding cable segment are calculated in conjunction with the velocity vector at the node.

[0135] Based on the angle of attack and Reynolds number, the drag coefficient corresponding to the node is adaptively corrected, and the hydrodynamic components of the node in the cable axis direction and its normal direction are calculated using the corrected drag coefficient. Subsequently, the hydrodynamic forces, along with the gravity, buoyancy, and cable tension acting on the node, are incorporated into the node's triaxial force equilibrium equations, updating the node position and cable attitude under quasi-static assumptions. The above process follows... Figure 1 The process shown is executed cyclically until the node's attitude and force state meet the convergence conditions.

[0136] Finally, the results of the mooring attitude and settlement response obtained using the method of this invention are compared with the results obtained using the traditional fixed drag coefficient quasi-static mooring calculation method. The results are illustrated in the figure below. Figure 4As shown in the figure. The comparative results show that, under conditions of strong current and multi-timescale velocity changes, the method of the present invention can more reasonably reflect the response characteristics of the mooring attitude as the flow changes, and effectively improve the deviation problem of traditional methods in the simulation of abnormal settlement and attitude response of moors.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features.
