The computational results of the different SGS models are compared based on five aspects: open water characteristics, turbulence parameters, incoming turbulence spectrum, vortex structure, and fluctuating pressure. Their results are also compared with the experimental values, and the correlation between the internal flow characteristics of the pumpjet propulsor and the turbulent fluctuation is analyzed. According to the results, as regards the prediction of the open water performance of the pumpjet propulsor containing both front and rear stators, the overall trend obtained by the three subgrid models is similar, and the error between the values predicted by the SL model and the experimental ones is the smallest. At the same mesh level, the turbulent fluctuating scale obtained by the SL model is larger than that obtained by the WALE and DSL models, and the turbulent time scale obtained by the DSL model has the smallest fluctuation in the circumferential direction. Among the three SGS models, the turbulent fluctuating scale of the SL model is larger than those of the WALE and DSL models. The SL model exhibits the largest energy dissipation among the three SGS models, followed by the DSL model, while that of the WALE model is the smallest. In the WALE model, the leakage vortex at the top of the blade is the longest, followed by the DSL model, while it is the shortest in the SL model.

In the steady-state tests, experiments were conducted at three different stoichiometries of hydrogen and air to evaluate the effect of stoichiometry on PEMFC efficiency.

In the dynamic tests, the behaviors of undershoot voltage and open circuit voltage (OCV) were examined using load-step and load-ramp conditions. Results showed that the undershoot voltage could be reduced either by narrowing the load step size and ramp rate or by implementing a reactant supply strategy, which increasing the gas flow rates before increasing the current. A consistent 0.55 V recovery was observed at the OCV after 10 s, regardless of the step sizes or ramp rates of load, indicating that the PEMFC was in good state of health after dynamic load conditions.

To assess the effectiveness of the proposed method, we conducted anti-collision simulations for both single- and multiple-encounter scenarios, all of which adhered to COLREGs-defined avoidance obligations. Furthermore, we evaluated the performance of the proposed method by comparing its results with those obtained using conventional VO and A* algorithms. The findings indicate that the proposed method is superior to the A* algorithm in terms of steering away from collisions in complex multiple-encounter scenarios. Additionally, the proposed method significantly reduces the distance traveled by the ship to avoid potential collisions, with improvements of up to approximately 6.6% compared with alternative algorithms.

To study the flooding characteristics of damaged compartments and floating states of the hull under deformation of the bulkhead caused by explosion, the damage effects on a single compartment and multiple compartments under dynamic explosion are illustrated. Then, the flooding characteristics are analyzed for single compartment models with two types of damage modes and one multi-compartment asymmetric damage model. The results indicate that the deflection of the bulkhead increases the capacity of the compartment, resulting in variations in the flooding process of damaged compartments. Compared with the single models without deflection deformation, the final flooding quantity of the two types of models with deflection deformation increased by 62.49% and 65.48%. The difference in flooding characteristics led to deviation in the six-degree-of-freedom motion of the two types of hull models. Significantly, the amplitude of heave in the models with deflection deformation under the two types of asymmetric damage modes increased by 60% and 66% compared to that of the models without deflection deformation, and the pitch increased by 66% and 50%. Nevertheless, in the multi-compartment models, there were no distinct differences in the flooding process and six-degree-of-freedom motion.
