This study examines the dynamic response and liquefaction potential of riverbeds subjected to tidal bores in macro-tidal estuaries. An analytical model, developed using the generalized Biot theory and integral transform methods, evaluates the dynamic behavior of riverbed sediments. Key factors such as permeability, saturation, and sediment properties are analyzed for their influence on momentary liquefaction. The results indicate that fine sand reduces liquefaction risk by facilitating pore water discharge, while silt soil increases sediment instability. Additionally, the study reveals that pressure gradients induced by tidal bores can trigger momentary liquefaction, with the maximum liquefaction depth predicted based on horizontal pressure gradients being five times that predicted based on vertical pressure gradients. This research highlights the critical role of sediment characteristics in riverbed stability, providing a comprehensive understanding of the interactions between tidal bores and riverbed dynamics. The findings contribute to the development of predictive models and guidelines for managing the risks of tidal bore-induced liquefaction in coastal and estuarine environments.","PeriodicalId":16168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marine Science and Engineering","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142249897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Hydrodynamic Similarity between Different Power Levels and a Dynamic Analysis of Ocean Current Energy Converter–Platform Systems with a Novel Pulley–Traction Rope Design for Irregular Typhoon Waves and Currents","authors":"Shueei-Muh Lin, Wen-Rong Wang, Hsin Yuan","doi":"10.3390/jmse12091670","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3390/jmse12091670","url":null,"abstract":"In the future, the power of a commercial ocean current energy convertor will be able to reach the MW class, and its corresponding mooring rope tension will be very good. However, the power of convertors currently being researched is still at the KW class, which can bear less rope tension. The main mooring rope usually has a single cable and a single foundation. To investigate the dynamic response and rope tension of an MW-class ocean current generator mooring system, here, a similarity rule is proposed for (1) coefficients without any fluid–structure interaction (FSI) using the Buckingham theorem and (2) ones with FSI. The overall hydrodynamic drag and moment including the hydrodynamic coefficients in these two situations are represented in a Taylor series. Assuming similarity between the commercial MW-class and KW-class ocean current convertors, all hydrodynamic parameters of the MW-class system are estimated based on the known KW-class parameters and based on the similarity formula. In order to overcome the extreme tension of the MW-class system and to provide good stability, in this paper, we propose a pulley–rope design to replace the traditional single-traction-rope design. The static and dynamic mathematical models of this mooring system subjected to the impact of typhoon waves and currents are proposed, and analytical solutions are obtained. We find that the pulley–rope design can significantly reduce the dynamic rope tensions of the mooring system. The effect of the length ratio of the main traction rope, rope A, to the seabed depth on the dynamic tension of stabilizing converter rope D is significant. The length ratio is within a safe range, and the maximum rope dynamic tension is less than the fracture strength. In addition, if the rope length ratio is over the critical value, the larger the ratio, the higher the safety factor of the rope. In summary, the pulley–rope design can be safely used in an MW-level ocean current generator system.","PeriodicalId":16168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marine Science and Engineering","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142249900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Involving many spatiotemporal distributed parameters and variables, an effective predictive model for environment and growth stage perception is yet to obtained, further preventing the development of precise feeding strategies and feeding equipment. Therefore, in this paper, a hierarchical type-2 fuzzy system based on a quasi-Gaussian membership function for fast, precise, on-site feeding decisions is proposed and validated. The designed system consists of two layers of decision subsystems, taking in different sources of data and expert experience in feeding but avoiding the rule explosion issue. Meanwhile, the water quality evaluation is considered as the secondary membership function for type-2 fuzzy sets and used to adjust the parameters of the quasi-Gaussian membership function, decreasing the calculation load in type reduction. The proposed system is validated, and the results indicate that the shape of the primary fuzzy sets is altered with the secondary membership, which influences the defuzzification results accordingly. Meanwhile, the hardware of feeding bins for UAVs with variable-speed coupling control systems with disturbance compensation is improved and validated. The results indicate that the feeding speed can follow the disturbance in the level flying speed.","PeriodicalId":16168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marine Science and Engineering","volume":"116 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142249901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study constructed a machine learning model for source range estimation using ship-radiated noise recorded by two vertical line arrays (VLAs) during the Shallow-water Acoustic Variability Experiment (SAVEX-15), employing the Sample Covariance Matrix (SCM) and the Generalized Cross Correlation (GCC) as input features. A feed-forward neural network (FNN) was used to train the model on the acoustic characteristics of the source at various distances, and the range estimation results indicated that the SCM outperformed the GCC with lower error rates. Additionally, array tilt correction using the array invariant-based method improved range estimation accuracy. The impact of the training data composition corresponding to the bottom depth variation between the source and receivers on range estimation performance was also discussed. Furthermore, the estimated ranges from the two VLA locations were applied to localization using trilateration. Our results confirm that the SCM is the more appropriate feature for the FNN-based source range estimation model compared with the GCC and imply that ocean environment variability should be considered in developing a general-purpose machine learning model for underwater acoustics.","PeriodicalId":16168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marine Science and Engineering","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142249894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This investigation utilizes measurements from a wave buoy moored in deep water in the South Atlantic Ocean. First, the spectra are computed using the autocorrelation function and the direct Fourier method. Second, the spectral resolution is tested in terms of degrees of freedom. The degrees of freedom are varied, and the resulting spectra and integrated parameters are computed, showing significant variability. A simple and robust methodology for determining the wave spectrum is suggested, which involves calculating the average energy density in each frequency band. The results of this methodology reduce the variability of the estimated parameters, improving overall accuracy while preserving frequency resolution, which is crucial in complex sea states. Additionally, to demonstrate the feasibility of the implemented approach, the final spectrum is fitted using an empirical model ideal for that type of spectrum. Finally, the performance and the goodness of the fit process for the final averaged curve are checked by widely used statistical metrics, such as R2 = 0.97 and root mean square error = 0.49.","PeriodicalId":16168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marine Science and Engineering","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142249896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the friction group based on viscous forces is used for calculating the pressure drop or head loss in pipes and open channels, commonly referred to as the Type 1 problem in hydraulic engineering, additional friction groups with similar behaviors are introduced for calculating steady flow discharge as the Type 2 problem and, for estimating hydraulic diameter as the Type 3 problem. Contrary to the viscous friction group, the traditional Darcy–Weisbach friction factor demonstrates a negative correlation with the Reynolds number. This results in curves that slope downward from small to large Reynolds numbers on the well-known Moody chart. In contrast, the friction group used here, based on viscous forces, establishes a more appropriate relationship. In this case, the friction and Reynolds number are positively correlated, meaning that both increase or decrease simultaneously. Here, rearranged diagrams for all three mentioned problems show similar behaviors. This paper compares the Moody diagram with the diagram for the viscous force friction group. The turbulent parts of both diagrams are based on the Colebrook equation, with the newly reformulated version using the viscous force friction group. As the Colebrook equation is implicit with respect to friction, requiring an iterative solution, an explicit solution using the Lambert W-function for the reformulated version is offered. Examples are provided for both pipes and open channel flow.","PeriodicalId":16168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marine Science and Engineering","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142249903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
