The mechanism is designed to suppress vibration caused by both float motion and vortex-induced vibration (VIV) due to currents. Experiments were conducted using a scale model, and numerical calculations were used to evaluate the mechanism’s ability to reduce vibration. As a result, the natural frequencies of the pipes were analyzed, and it was found that the vibration damping mechanism, when installed at appropriate locations, can provide effective vibration suppression against the motion of the upper float and vibration caused by VIV due to currents over the entire length of the pipe, even at limited installation locations. On the other hand, it was found that the vibration suppression effect could not be achieved without appropriate positioning, and that the longer the pipe length, the more limited the vibration damping capability.</p>","PeriodicalId":16334,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marine Science and Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139079896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a numerical simulation of marine propellers with the ridge structures, inspired by the airfoils with the bionic ridge surfaces. The bionic method is applied to redesign the blade sections of a marine propeller, and the ridge structures are arranged between the leading edge and the thickest point. Four bionic propellers are established by changing the style and distribution area of the ridge structures on the blade surface. The cavitation morphology, pressure distribution and open water characteristics are analyzed with the software STAR CCM + . The numerical model is validated with the test data and the results show that the ridged structures can make the low-pressure area on the blade surface more dispersed and suppress cavitation. Compared with the prototype propeller, the four bionic propellers with the ridge structures can reduce the cavitation area by 26% (with an advance speed coefficient of 0.5) to 30% (with an advance speed coefficient of 0.3) at medium and low advance speeds. Besides, one of the bionic propellers can improve the thrust and efficiency by 14.93% and 1.61% respectively at high advance speeds.</p>","PeriodicalId":16334,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marine Science and Technology","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139079593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From its results, we reconfirmed the knowledge that porpoising occurs when the system becomes unstable in the vicinity of the equilibrium point. We also found that the system became unstable as the thrust or trim angle of the outboard motor decreased. This finding was consistent with the results of a full-scale craft test performed in a previous study. Second, we confirmed that the limit cycle which is a result of the nonlinearity of the system was stable. The two analyses indicate that porpoising corresponds to the supercritical Hopf bifurcation. Furthermore, in the vicinity of the bifurcation point, it was found that stable equilibrium points and stable limit cycles can coexist.

The proposed method combines the existing idea of the Nonlinear Correction (NLC) method, which is based on wave height-dependent RAO, with the theory of the translation process, and thus has both simplicity and a clear theoretical background. Furthermore, it is positioned as an extension of the Equivalent Design Wave (EDW) method used in conventional ship structural design. The validity of the proposed method is confirmed through a numerical study on the extreme value distribution of hull-girder sectional forces considering body nonlinear effects. The proposed method can be used for various purposes, and in particular, it can reduce the computational demand for strength evaluation by Direct Load and Structure Analysis (DLSA), which is a computationally extensive analysis method. Therefore, the proposed method is expected to make a significant contribution to structural design.","PeriodicalId":16334,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marine Science and Technology","volume":"22 15","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135041688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These systems employ the temperature difference between surface ocean waters and deep ocean waters to drive a thermodynamic cycle and produce electricity. The temperature of deep ocean waters, approximately 1000 m below the surface, is approximately 4 °C, while surface ocean temperatures typically range between 20 and 30 °C. The generated power of OTEC systems is dependent on these temperature differences and may vary with changes in surface ocean temperatures. In this study, the main focus is to find the impact of temperature variation on the failure rates of OTEC system components and the generated power output of these plants. The findings indicate that as the demand for the power system increases, its reliability decreases. In order to improve the reliability of the power system, the integration of a new generation unit, such as the close cycle OTEC power plant under investigation, could be necessary. The findings also indicate the importance of considering temperature variation in the evaluation of the reliability of such types of power plants based on renewable energy.","PeriodicalId":16334,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marine Science and Technology","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135634067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
