Abstract

This work investigates the hydrodynamic performance of a subsea shuttle, an extra-large freight submarine, during near-seabed operation. The three-dimensional Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes method combined with the k-υ shear stress transport (SST) model is used to predict the pressure, skin friction, drag, and lift forces acting on the subsea shuttle. The present numerical model is verified and validated against the experimental and numerical data from the SUBOFF-1 project, a standard submarine model developed by the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency. Two operational scenarios are considered in this study: (1) the subsea shuttle traveling near the seabed with a forward speed; (2) the subsea shuttle hovering close to the seabed and subject to an incoming current flow. A representative seabed boundary layer profile is considered in the analyses. A fully developed boundary layer profile is generated using one-dimensional simulations and implemented as the inlet boundary condition in the 3D simulations. The effects of the gap ratio between the subsea shuttle and the seabed, and the inflow speed of the boundary layer flow on the hydrodynamic properties of the subsea shuttle are evaluated and discussed in detail.

超大型货运潜艇近底作业数值研究

这项工作研究了海底穿梭船(一种超大型货运潜艇)在近海床作业期间的水动力性能。三维reynolds - average Navier-Stokes方法结合k-υ剪切应力传输(SST)模型，用于预测作用在水下穿梭器上的压力、表面摩擦、阻力和升力。目前的数值模型是根据来自SUBOFF-1项目的实验和数值数据进行验证和验证的，该项目是由国防高级研究计划局开发的一个标准潜艇模型。本研究考虑了两种操作场景:(1)水下穿梭船以正向速度靠近海床;(2)靠近海床悬停并受入流影响的水下穿梭器。分析中考虑了具有代表性的海底边界层剖面。利用一维模拟生成了一个完整的边界层轮廓，并在三维模拟中实现了入口边界条件。详细评价和讨论了海底穿梭器与海床间隙比、边界层水流入流速度对海底穿梭器水动力性能的影响。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering is an international resource for original peer-reviewed research that advances the state of knowledge on all aspects of analysis, design, and technology development in ocean, offshore, arctic, and related fields. Its main goals are to provide a forum for timely and in-depth exchanges of scientific and technical information among researchers and engineers. It emphasizes fundamental research and development studies as well as review articles that offer either retrospective perspectives on well-established topics or exposures to innovative or novel developments. Case histories are not encouraged. The journal also documents significant developments in related fields and major accomplishments of renowned scientists by programming themed issues to record such events.
