Experiments were conducted in a water tank to measure the translational and rotational motion of spherical particles by developing a spherical detector with a built-in three-dimensional acceleration microsensor and a three-dimensional microgyroscope. The three-axis linear acceleration and angular velocity can be measured and stored by the detector. The attitude angle, defined as the spatial rotation of the detector coordinate system relative to the laboratory coordinate system and described via the Euler angle, is obtained with a quaternion algorithm and a Kalman filter. The method is validated with a 50 mm diameter spherical object by three respective tests. Finally, the detector is tested as a tracer particle in hydraulic collecting. Findings indicate that the method is capable of tracing the detailed behaviors of particles in hydraulic collecting.","PeriodicalId":50302,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Offshore and Polar Engineering","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135347829","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}

Typically, the surface target track uses the geodetic coordinate and under-water weapon trajectory uses the navigation coordinate. Therefore, trajectory data in the navigation coordinate need to be converted to the geodetic coordinate. Using an inertial measurement unit can only get the trajectory data in the navigation coordinate. Because of the Doppler effect, acoustic reverberation, range ambiguity, and low data refresh rate, the methods based on the cooperative acoustic beacon or the baseline positioning cannot meet the trajectory measurement requirements of the underwater high-speed attack weapon. In this paper, a method combining baseline positioning with an inertial measurement unit is proposed to solve the problem of trajectory measurement in the geodetic coordinate of the underwater high-speed weapons. The system composition, working principle, and measure results are introduced, and the measure errors are analyzed.","PeriodicalId":50302,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Offshore and Polar Engineering","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135347821","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}

The goal is to assess the capabilities and performances of the solver to simulate the propagation of regular waves over the variable bathymetry (in-cluding shoaling and nonlinear e ff ects), the depth-induced breaking process and the interaction of these breaking waves with the vertical wall. We simulate two experiments involving similar geometry of the seabed and vertical wall, performed at two di ff erent scales (1:8 for case A and 1:1 for case B), as described in Ravindar et al. (2021). After a descrip-tion of the CFD solver and its numerical methods, the model is applied to the simulation of the two cases involving extremely high impact pressure peaks at some places of the wall surface. Numerical results are compared with experimental measurements regarding both free surface elevation and pressure on the wall. In general, a good agreement of the simulations with the measurements is obtained for free surface elevation, including the breaking zone. The time history of pressure variations dur-ing wave impacts is correctly reproduced. Although the measured maximum impact pressure peaks exhibit some variability among successive wave impacts, the order of magnitude of these maximum peaks is well predicted for case A. For case B, however, the maximum impact pressures are somewhat underestimated by the current simulations, requiring further tests and improvements. This work is a contribution to the bench-mark “Comparative Study on Breaking Waves Interactions with Vertical Wall attached with Recurved Parapet in Small and Large Scale” set up for the ISOPE’2022 conference.","PeriodicalId":50302,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Offshore and Polar Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49523503","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}
