The fundamental mechanisms governing cavity dynamics and projectile stability are revealed using three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, which are validated by synchronized high-speed imaging. The key findings demonstrate that asymmetric wetting of the cylinder’s head during the early stage of water entry induces a critical head-down moment that governs subsequent hydrodynamic behavior. Three distinct fluid dynamic mechanisms are identified: 1) Delayed upper cavity formation accompanied by asymmetric cavity expansion; 2) Splash convergence producing distinct upward and downward jets, with the latter inducing localized cavity collapse upon impacting the wall; and 3) Pressure redistribution at the head end caused by variations in angle of attack, which generates restoring moments through asymmetric flow patterns. Density-dependent kinematic analysis reveals that within the same range of horizontal displacement, low-density cylinders (<em>ρ</em>≤4.1 g/cm³) undergo multiple tail slaps, whereas high-density cylinders (<em>ρ</em>≥7.2 g/cm³) achieve rotational stabilization through head-end restoring moments prior to tail slap initiation. Quantitative analysis shows that increasing the density from 2.7 to 16.1 g/cm³ reduces the maximum angular deflection by 89.43 % and the accumulated trajectory curvature by 42.83 %.

Modal superposition is employed to assess both in-plane and out-of-plane deformations, while the hydrodynamic forces are obtained using linear potential flow theory, incorporating the modified Morison equation for in-plane loads on the floater. Experimental validation was performed using wave tests in a towing tank. The setup included a horizontal mooring system with four lines.

The wave test results demonstrate the complex interaction between platform flexibility and wave behavior. In regular wave tests, the Response Amplitude Operators (RAOs) reveal that platform flexibility allows the structure to better conform to the wave profile at lower frequencies, while higher frequencies are dominated by structural rigidity, highlighting a significant three-dimensional effect. A distinct difference in in-plane deformation between fore and aft parts under the influence of mooring lines was observed. In irregular wave tests, the vertical motion spectrum of the platform aligns with the wave spectrum, showcasing its flexibility.

In complex marine environments, the long-span SFT is subjected to nonlinear coupled effects of multiple loads, resulting in extremely complex dynamic responses. At present, the calculation methods for the dynamic response of the long-span SFT in marine environments have the following main deficiencies: (1) When different cable models, tube-end boundary conditions, and load patterns are adopted, the resulting mathematical models of the SFT often exhibit different expressions, with complex governing equations. The models lack flexibility and generality when considering different cable arrangements and load combinations. Existing studies are typically limited to fixed structural configurations under single-load effects. (2) Restricted by computational costs, the Morison equation is commonly used to calculate fluid loads on long-span SFTs. This equation can only account for one-way fluid-structure interaction (FSI) effects, fails to compute the torque exerted by fluids on the SFT tube, and ignores the influence of seabed topography on the flow field. Addressing the current research gaps in the analysis of dynamic characteristics of the long-span SFT under marine conditions, particularly the challenges in two-way FSI computation for long-span configurations, this paper proposes a time-domain computational method for dynamic response analysis of the long-span SFT under coupled action of multiple loads, which provides a general computational framework for dealing with the multi-load action problems of SFTs. The computational framework incorporates a two-way FSI calculation model based on a system of two-dimensional potential flow wave flumes, which overcomes the limitations in computational efficiency in bidirectional coupling analysis of the long-span SFT, and addresses the challenges in the applicability of the Morison equation under complex working conditions. This paper verifies the correctness of the proposed method for calculating structural dynamic responses by comparing the calculation results of finite element mode. The accuracy of the potential flow flume in calculating wave loads is also verified by comparing with the calculation results of the viscous fluid model. Finally, by comparing with the results of the frequency-domain calculation of dynamic responses of the SFT, it demonstrates the reliability of the FSI calculation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54834,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fluids and Structures","volume":"139 ","pages":"Article 104440"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145321275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This approach was beneficial because it avoided case-specific transformations to a body-attached reference frame. Building on this, we now address the challenges of long time integration in velocity reconstruction and pressure recovery by extending this IBA framework with sequential learning strategies. Key difficulties for PINNs in long time integration include temporal sparsity, long temporal domains and rich spectral content. To tackle these, a moving boundary-enabled PINN is developed, proposing two sequential learning strategies: - a time marching with gradual increase in time domain size, training a monolithic PINN and - a time decomposition which divides the temporal domain into smaller segments, training a PINN over each subdomains and combining them together. While the former approach may struggle with error accumulation over long time domains, the latter one, eventually combined with transfer learning, effectively reduces error propagation and computational complexity. The key findings for modeling of incompressible unsteady flows past a flapping airfoil include: - for quasi-periodic flows, the time decomposition approach with preferential spatio-temporal sampling improves accuracy and efficiency for pressure recovery and aerodynamic load reconstruction, and, - for long time domains, decomposing it into smaller temporal segments and employing multiple sub-networks, simplifies the problem ensuring stability and reduced network sizes.
