Abstract

One of the important stages in the offshore structure design process is the evaluation of the marine hydrodynamic load in which the structure operates, this is to ensure an appropriate design and improve the safety of the structure. Therefore, accurate modeling of the marine environment is needed to produce good evaluation data, one of the methods that can accurately model the marine environment is through the Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) method. This research aims to analyze the ocean wave load of pressure and force characteristics on the jack-up production platform hull structure using the (CFD) method. The foam-extend 4.0 (the fork of the OpenFOAM) software with waveFoam solver is utilized to predict the free surface flow phenomena as its capability to predict with accurate results. The Reynold Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) turbulence model of k-ω SST is applied to predict the turbulence effect in the flow field. Five variations of incident wave direction type are carried out to examine its effect on the pressure and force characteristics on the jack-up production platform hull. The wave model shows inaccurate results with the decrease in wave height caused by excessive turbulence in the water surface area. Excessive turbulence levels can be overcome by incorporating density variable and buoyancy terms based on the Standard Gradient Diffusion Hypothesis (SGDH) into the turbulent kinetic energy equation. The k-ω SST Buoyancy turbulence model shows accurate results when verified to predict wave run-up and horizontal force loads on monopile structures. Furthermore, test results of the wave load on the jack-up production platform hull structure shows that the most significant wave load is obtained in variations with the wave arrival direction relatively opposite to the platform wall. Especially in the direction of 90° because it also has the most expansive impact surface area. Meanwhile, the lower wave load is obtained in variations 45° and 135°, which have the relatively oblique direction of wave arrival to the surface.

Abstract

A numerical lock-in prediction technique of a NACA 0012 hydrofoil, immersed in a flow having a Re of 3.07x106 is proposed in this paper. The technique observes the foil’s response as part of a fluid-structure interaction analysis. The response is modelled by foil’s vibration which is represented by spring and damper components. The technique identifies and predicts the foil’s lock-in when it vibrates. The prediction is examined using the Phase Averaged Method which employs the Hilbert Transform Method. The aim of this paper is to propose a numerical way to identify a lock-in condition experienced by a NACA 0012 foil in a high Reynolds number flow. The foil’s mechanical properties are selected and its motions are restricted in two modes which are in the pitch and heave directions. The rotational and transverse lock-in modes are identified in the model. The existence of lock-in is verified using pressure distribution plot, the history of trailing edge displacement and fluid regime capture. The history of total force coefficients is also shown to justify the result. The result shows that the technique can predict reliably the lock-in condition on the foil’s interaction. Three main fluid induced vibration frequencies are generated in the interaction. None of them are close to natural frequency of the foil and lock-in is apparently not found in the typical operational condition.

Abstract

Solar air heater (SAH) is a renewable energy application for the drying process. SAH has a challenge to produce high performance under uncertain weather. The performance of SAH can be enhanced by providing the absorber plate by adding the fins. This study aims to evaluate the thermal performance of SAH with rectangular fins SAH at low air velocity. This study compares the performance of SAH without fins and SAH with rectangular fins. Two variations of a tilt angle of SAH are 0° and 30° which are observed in this study. The SAH uses a ventilator turbine to suck air into the collector box. The air velocity is 0.01 m/s. The method is experimental. The SAH is tested under real condition from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The measurement tools consist of a pyranometer, an anemometer, a temperature sensor in the inlet section, 3 sensors in the absorber plate, a sensor in the outlet section, 6 temperature sensors in the drying cabinet. The result showed the thermal efficiency of SAH with rectangular fins is 29.67 % higher than SAH without fins at 0˚ tilt of angle at noon. The thermal efficiency of SAH with rectangular fins is 25.26 % higher than that of without fins at 30˚ tilt of angle at noon.
