The proposed device consists of a floating cylinder in the upper layer and another a coaxial bottom cylinder in the lower layer of a two-layer fluid system of finite depth having the infinite horizontal extent. The radiation problem is taken into consideration under the framework of linear water wave and the entire fluid domain is divided into two regions, say, an exterior and interior regions. The analytical solutions for the surge radiation potential to the boundary-value problems in the respective regions are obtained by utilizing the method of separation of variables. By making use of the matched eigenfunction expansion method, the unknown coefficients that arise in the radiation potentials are evaluated. With the help of the expressions of the surge radiated potential, the corresponding radiation forces are obtained as a linear combination of added mass and damping coefficient. A bunch of numeric outcomes of added mass and damping coefficient are investigated for a distinct set of parameters of the device, i.e., the effect of the variation in frequencies with the radii of the cylinders, drafts of the floating cylinder, and the density ratio between the fluid layers on the surge radiated force are presented and their significant results are discussed. The 3D free surface and interface elevations due to the effect of surge radiated waves are presented in both surface- and internal-wave modes. The oscillations in added mass and damping coefficients are observed with variations of the parameters of the device.</p>","PeriodicalId":50204,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Mathematics","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140301207","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}

In this approach to turbulence decomposition, which has recently been termed Spectral POD (SPOD), Fourier modes are considered as solutions to the corresponding Fredholm integral equation of the second kind along homogeneous-periodic or homogeneous coordinates. In the present work, the notion that the POD modes formally converge to Fourier modes for increasing domain length is challenged. A family of analytical correlation functions parametrized by the Taylor macro/micro scale ratio (MMSR) is investigated numerically. The results of the analysis indicate that the discrepancy between POD and Fourier modes along <i>locally</i> translationally invariant coordinates is coupled to the MMSR of the flow. Increasing discrepancies are observed for smaller MMSRs, which are characteristic of low Reynolds number flows. The asymptotic convergence rate of the eigenspectrum matches the corresponding convergence rate of the exact analytical Fourier spectrum of the kernel in question, even for extremely small domains and small MMSRs where the corresponding DFT spectra suffer heavily from windowing effects. The Taylor micro scales are consistently underestimated when reconstructed using Fourier modes—failing to converge to the correct value even if all Fourier modes are used—while these are accurately reconstructed using POD modes.</p>","PeriodicalId":50204,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Mathematics","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140171333","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 study proposes an adaptive haptic control scheme based on the backstepping method for a haptic joystick system with unknown parameters and unmeasurable disturbances without using force sensors. In the scheme, the joystick end force is considered an unknown disturbance of the DC motor. A universal model of the joystick system actuator, i.e., a DC servo motor, and the dynamic model of the joystick are established. The control law is then derived on the basis of the established model. The stability of the closed-loop system is demonstrated analytically on the basis of the Lyapunov function.

The clearance between the panel and the free surface is set to be smaller than the panel length and the effects of the base of the floating system are ignored. The pitch motion of the plate due to linear surface waves is considered and the effects of the aspect ratio of the plate, wave number, and wave speed of the free surface are discussed. The analytical solution shows that, if the plate is stationary and the free surface is flat (no waves), then the lift coefficient increases with aspect ratio. For a pitching plate above surface waves, lift coefficient increases with aspect ratio for longer wavelengths, but decreases when the aspect ratio increases for shorter wavelengths. Minimum lift and the associated wave number and aspect ratio for different wave speeds are also discussed.
