چکیده

BACKGROUND The water entry of a submersible aircraft, which is transient, highly coupled, and nonlinear, is complicated. After analyzing the mechanics of this process, the change rate of every variable is considered. A dynamic model is build and employed to study vehicle attitude and overturn phenomenon during water entry. Experiments are carried out and a method to organize experiment data is proposed. The accuracy of the method is confirmed by comparing the results of simulation of dynamic model and experiment under the same condition. RESULTS Based on the analysis of the experiment and simulation, the initial attack angle and angular velocity largely influence the water entry of vehicle. Simulations of water entry with different initial and angular velocities are completed, followed by an analysis, and the motion law of vehicle is obtained. To solve the problem of vehicle stability and control during water entry, an approach is proposed by which the vehicle sails with a zero attack angle after entering water by controlling the initial angular velocity. With the dynamic model and optimization research algorithm, calculation is performed, and the optimal initial angular velocity of water-entry is obtained. CONCLUSIONS The outcome of simulations confirms that the effectiveness of the propose approach by which the initial water-entry angular velocity is controlled.

Improvement of the heave motion of a semi-submersible platform with damping sheets subjected to sea waves

In this study, the damping sheets were attached to a semi-submersible platform to mitigate the heave motions. We first examined a typical GVA4000 semi-sub under a monochromatic linear wave train in deep water. an analytical method based on diffraction theory was used to determine the heave motion response. The results revealed that the analytical results show good agreement with available exper...

Numerical modeling of wave run-up along columns of semi-submersible platforms

Wave run-up is one of the most important and effective parameters in designing semi-submersible platforms. Besides unforeseen effects on the movements and response of the platform, wave run up can also cause slamming forces to be exerted on the lower deck of the platform. Therefore, at the first stages of this plan, before running tests on the model of the platform, numerical methods are usuall...

Ice can form on aircraft surface at 0° C or colder temperatures when liquid water is present. This can happen both on the ground and at the flight levels of the aircraft. Aircraft icing has not only an impact on flight safety but has also an economic impact. According to the report of research department of the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration), from 1982 to 2001, 13% of accidents due to ai...
