Numerical simulations of wave breakings around a wedge- shaped bow
نویسندگان
چکیده
Flows around a wedge-shaped bow are simulated with the aim of investigating the wave breaking mechanism and small scale features of ship bow waves. The wedge geometry used in the experimental study of Waniewski et al. (2002) is chosen with the flow conditions at Re = 1.64×10 5 and Fr = 2.93. The bow wave structure, wave breaking process and air entrainment are studied. The predicted overall bow wave profile, surface disturbances on the wave crest, and plunging jet shape are similar to the experimental observations. The computed wave contact line elevation is very close to the flume model case of the experiment, but is below the towing tank case. The possible reasons of the under-prediction of the wave elevation are discussed.

Numerical and experimental hydrodynamic analysis of catamaran with and without V-like center bow
Catamaran added V-like center bow (INCAT) is investigated as a wave-piercing vessel to decrease vertical acceleration and diminish slam events during sea-keeping operation. The catamaran and the vessel bow were modeled and the vertical acceleration of model was validated with experimenal test. The geometry of V-like center-bow such as slope of center bow and elevation from demi-hulls was optimi...

Rotational Supercavitating Evaporator (RSCE) has been proposed as a new technology for seawater desalination. However, it lacks systematic researches on the blade shape of RSCE. In this paper, numerical simulations were conducted on the supercavities formed behind two-dimensional (2D) wedge-shaped cavitators of the RSCE. The cavitating flows around the 2D wedge-shaped cavitators with several ce...
متن کاملNumerical modelling of induced rip currents by discontinuous submerged breakwaters
Submerged breakwaters are one of the shore protective structures. Any discontinuity in these breakwaters causes changes on current parameters including speed and water surface profile. In this paper, discontinuous submerged breakwaters were modelled to investigate the changes in the wave and flow pattern.To investigate the phenomenon, three models including a shore with constant slope, a shore ...
متن کاملUWB Planar Conical Horn-Shaped Self-Complementary Bow-Tie Antenna
An ultra-wideband (UWB) self-complementary planar bow-tie antenna (SCPBTA) is proposed. The antenna consists of a printed conical horn-shaped (CHS) radiator and a counterpart CHS slot etched on a rectangular ground plane. The printed CHS radiator is connected directly to the 50Ω microstrip line by bending the end portion of the feed line. As a result, the antenna has a simple structure which do...

A sharp interface LES methodology on orthogonal curvilinear grid for breaking waves produced by an interface-piercing body at high Reynolds number is presented. Both gas and liquid phases are considered for the strong interactions between two phases, such as spray dispersion and bubble entrainment. The level-set based ghost fluid method is adopted for sharp interface treatment and a volume-of-f...
