摘要
A numerical analysis of wind pressure characteristics around two combinatorial hemispheres is presented in this paper.The superstructure of Liquefied Natural Gas(LNG) carrier is composed of multiple combinatorial hemisphere tanks.The wind pressure characteristics of LNG carrier must be complicated due to the combinatorial hemisphere tanks.We focus on the force and pressure characteristics around two combinatorial hemispheric tanks.The size of combinatorial hemisphere model is as the same as the real tank of LNG carrier.The velocity of wind is18.256 m/s and the flow simulations are at high Reynolds number(Re=6×10~7).In this study,the numerical analysis is made on the models that are rotated with step of20° until reproducing the full incidence of 180°.Large Eddy Simulation(LES) is employed to run the simulation using the Smagorinsky-Lilly model.Groups of airflow around two combinatorial hemispheres are simulated.The equations are solved on a structured mesh using a finite volume method.The flow field and total drag forces are computed for various wind directions.We obtain wind drag coefficient map of the two combinatorial hemispheres of varying wind attack angles and establish the regression curve equations.The mean characteristics of force and pressure field around combinatorial hemisphere surface are described and discussed.Three different kinds of flow patterns around two combinatorial hemispheres are identified.The results show that wind direction characteristically influences the flow and pressure field around combinatorial hemispheres in wind loads on the structure.Flow pattern transformation occurs around 20° and 60°.LES can give satisfactory predictions for wind load on the LNG carrier tanks.The recommended numerical simulation method may provide an effective way to research the maneuverability of LNG carrier in wind.
