The directly loading technology that can realtime simulate waves was applied. Then an analysis of structure vibration response characteristics of SWATH subjected to wave loads and slamming loads was conducted, and the discussion of the slamming effect on hull strength was performed. The results show that there are some particular response models under combined loads. The effect induced by combined loads actions is not twonodal vibration like monohull, but transverse bending vibration of cross structure. Combined loads actions threaten the strength of wetdeck and stanchion severely. Slamming contributes to the structure vibration response significantly and influences the overall strength and deformation.   References | Related Articles | Metrics

A rule to determine the cavitation inception was presented printed as ‘when σ>σi, the pressure coefficient of the tip blade section is unchangeable and its application region on the bucket was limited also. Based on it, the inception bucket was partitioned more nicely from traditional three regions to five at last so to depict the blade cavitation stage under different conditions more precisely. The results show that, under design and nondesign conditions, the predicted inception cavitation indexes of the back and faces blade section all agree well with the experiment. The simulated tip vortex cavitation inception represents the phenomenon of local tip vortex and leading edge tip vortex combination, and verifies the reasonableness of using the sheet cavitation inception curves of 07 R section on the back and 04 R section on the face to stand for the back and faces visual tip vortex inception respectively. The determination rule is valid for both back and face sheet cavitation region up the bottom line on the bucket. The region under the bottom line on the bucket can be partitioned as back sheet cavitation lying 03 R to tip on the blade surface and back and face sheet cavitation existing simultaneously in addition, so to sever the engineering better for using the five regions to depict the propeller cavitation and calculate the cavitation ship speed.

Research on Minimum Additional Drag and Hydrodynamic Moment of Locked Controllable Pitch Propeller DING Jiang-Ming, WANG Yong-Sheng, HUANG Bin 2012, 46 (03):  423-429.  Abstract ( 3604 )   Save The optimal pitch of a locked controllable pitch propeller corresponding to minimal additional drag and minimal hydrodynamic moment was investigated by means of computational fluid dynamics for a ship that is propelled by part of propellers. A typical fiveblade controllable pitch propeller was calculated numerically to gain the characteristics of additional drag and hydrodynamic moment as functions of its pitch and advance velocity. The numerical calculations are based on finite volume method. The RANS equations of the 3D incompressible viscous flows are solved iteratively to simulate the flow behavior around the propeller. The calculation results show: ① The additional drag of the locked propeller is maximal when the propeller is set on maximal ahead pitch, which accounts for about 80% of the hull resistance at the same speed. The value of hydrodynamic moment also reaches maximum; ②The additional drag of the locked propeller is minimal when the propeller is set on maximal astern pitch, which accounts for about 50% of the hull resistance at the same speed. The hydrodynamic moment decrease markedly compared with the maximal ahead pitch; ③At zero pitch the additional drag lies between maximal ahead pitch and maximal astern pitch, and the hydrodynamic moment is very small which comes close to zero. These conclusions are helpful for marine engineers not only to determine joint control curve of the propulsion plant for the operating condition that the ship is propelled by part of propellers, but also to design the shaft brake rightly.

According to the principle of the classic lumped mass method, a 4DOF (three degrees of translational motion and one degree of rotate motion) mathematical model was formulated, which is employed to analyze the effect of bending and torsion moment on cable. When modeling, the methods were given to determine the three dimensional bending moment, torsion moment and shear force, while a new variable, zerotorsion moment angle, was introduced to eliminate the effect of cables translational motion on torsion moment and finally get the actual torsion moment, then taking the cables buoyancy, weight, drag and tension into consideration so as to result in the whole mathematical model. Three simulation cases were presented subsequently, the results show good agreement with actual dynamic characters of bending and torsion moments effect, which thus validates the proposed mathematical scheme; these results also turn out some valuable conclusions.   References | Related Articles | Metrics

Experimental Study on Ignition Delay of Butanol Using Shock Tube 南Bei , LIU Wen-Jia, LI Zhen-Hua, 吕Xing-Cai , HUANG Zhen 2012, 46 (03):  493-497.  Abstract ( 3495 )   Save Ignition delay of nbutanoloxygennitrogen mixtures were measured behind reflected shock waves in a double diaphragm chemical shock tube at temperature ranges of 1 04332~1 16372 K, pressure at 0671~0835 MPa, and equivalence ratio at 10, 15, and 05 respectively. The experimental results show that the ignition delay of the mixtures decreases with the increase in temperature and equivalence ratio. The logarithmic value of the ignition delay is proportional to the reciprocal of temperature and agrees well with Arrheniustype correlation equation. An Arrheniustype correlation equation for the ignition delay time of butanoloxygennitrogen mixtures was developed. The results illustrate that the ignition delay of butanol shows strong dependence on the pressure, but active energy is less sensitive to the equivalence ratio.   References | Related Articles | Metrics
