چکیده

A 3-D time-domain numerical wave tank using a higher-order boundary element method is newly developed in the framework of linear potential theory, and ship waves generated by the standard Wigley model advancing at constant forward speed in otherwise calm water and the resultant steady wave resistance are computed as verification of the computer code developed. A rectangular computational domain moving with the same forward speed as the ship is introduced, in which an artificial damping beach is installed at an outer portion of the free surface except the downstream side for satisfying the radiation condition. The velocity potential on the ship hull and the normal velocity on the free surface are obtained directly by solving the boundary integral equation, with the Rankine source used as the kernel function. For numerical stability and accuracy, an iterative time-marching scheme is employed for updating both kinematic and dynamic free surface boundary conditions. Thus the boundary integral equation is solved at each time stepping. After validating the convergence with respect to time step and mesh size, the problem for computing the steady waves generated by the Wigley hull is considered as an initial-value problem, increasing the ship’s speed from a state of rest up to a specified constant value. Computed results of the wave pattern and wave resistance are illustrated and compared with experimental measurements, showing satisfactory agreement.

Axisymmetric Scaled Boundary Finite Element Formulation for Wave Propagation in Unbounded Layered Media

Wave propagation in unbounded layered media with a new formulation of Axisymmetric Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method (AXI-SBFEM) is derived. Dividing the general three-dimensional unbounded domain into a number of independent two-dimensional ones, the problem could be solved by a significant reduction in required storage and computational time. The equations of the corresponding Axisymmetri...

Solution of Wave Equations Near Seawalls by Finite Element Method

A 2D finite element model for the solution of wave equations is developed. The fluid is considered as incompressible and irrotational. This is a difficult mathematical problem to solve numerically as well as analytically because the condition of the dynamic boundary (Bernoulli’s equation) on the free surface is not fixed and varies with time. The finite element technique is applied to solve non...

Free and Forced Transverse Vibration Analysis of Moderately Thick Orthotropic Plates Using Spectral Finite Element Method

In the present study, a spectral finite element method is developed for free and forced transverse vibration of Levy-type moderately thick rectangular orthotropic plates based on first-order shear deformation theory. Levy solution assumption was used to convert the two-dimensional problem into a one-dimensional problem. In the first step, the governing out-of-plane differential equations are tr...
