This time-frequency analysis method provides crucial information about waves generated by moving vessels and has been utilized to analyze Kelvin ship waves and internal waves. To further study the internal waves induced by a submerged body, an experiment is conducted for the towed and self-propelled SUBOFF model in a stratified fluid. The internal wave elevation signals are captured using electronic conductivity probes. Comparing with the calculation results of theoretical model, the high-frequency component of internal waves is identified. The high-frequency component has the exact same characteristics in both the towed and self-propelled model experiment and is consistent with the theoretical results for all Froude numbers. Therefore, this component is composed mainly of lee waves. Through spectral characteristics identification, a low-frequency component is discovered in the spectrogram in addition to the lee wave component. The intensity of the low-frequency component is tightly related to the vortex structure behind the submerged body. The vortex structure depends on the net momentum imparted by the submerged body. Therefore, this component is composed mainly of wake waves induced by the vortex structure.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydrodynamics","volume":"35 6","pages":"1191 - 1207"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140006265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that the cavitation development in the inducer undergoes four patterns: incipient cavitation, sheet cavitation, cloud cavitation and super cavitation. During the development of cavitation, the main frequency of the pressure pulsation shifts to lower frequencies, and the amplitude of the vibration increases. In addition, air injection promotes the incipient cavitation but delays the cavitation development. A small amount of air can effectively decrease amplitudes of pressure pulsation and vibration.

However, the dissolved gas will release when internal water pressure drops below saturation pressure during hydraulic transients. This results in inaccuracy or even invalidity of the existing model for homogenous flows, especially for the reproduction of two-phase mass transfer processes. To address this problem, this paper couples the gas release model with conservation equations of homogenous flows, which are numerically solved by the second-order Godunov-type scheme (GTS). Specifically, a virtual-cell method is adopted at system boundaries to achieve the same second-order accuracy as interior cells, which is realized by the monotonic upwind scheme for conservation laws (MUSCL-Hancock scheme). Simulated pressure curves by the proposed model are compared with a series of analytical, numerical and experimental results. It indicates that the proposed model with gas release effects reproduces actual pressure responses most accurately, with minimum relative error and root mean squared error compared with experimental data. Moreover, the gas release leads to dynamic synchronous fluctuations of void fraction, wave speed and pressure head, including the opposite trends of void fraction and pressure, and higher void fraction leading to greater wave speed depression. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis is concluded with recommended Courant number, and different gas release effects in different initial void fractions. Present research increases the basic understanding of two-phase mass transfer processes and their implications for hydraulic transients.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hydrodynamics","volume":"35 6","pages":"1179 - 1190"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139753152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis has found that: (1) The fluid velocity between the bubble and the particle is lower than that at the other locations in both the growth and collapse phases, thus the bubble cannot always maintain a standard spherical shape.

Our results indicate that the wave leading edge has minimal effect on the hydrodynamic performance, however, it has demonstrated the ability to significantly improve the acoustic performance. Through the comparison of sound pressure level (SPL) and acoustic directivity, we have observed that the wave leading edge can significantly reduce the broadband noise in the far field. This is due to its ability to break the large-scale structure of the incoming flow, which weakens the direct impact and therefore reduces the tone noise. Additionally, the interaction between the broken vortex and the boundary layer around the hydrofoil surface is weakened, leading to a reduction in surface pressure pulsation and broadband noise intensity.
