Abstract: In this paper, we study the water-wave flow under a floating body of an incident wave in a fluid. This model simulates the phenomenon of waves abording a floating ship in a vast ocean. The same model, also simulates the phenomenon of fluid-structure interaction of a large ice sheet in waves. According to this method. We divide the region of the problem into three subregions. Solutions, satisfying the equation in the fluid mass and a part of the boundary conditions in each subregion, are given. We obtain such solutions as infinite series including unknown coefficients. We consider a limited number only of the coefficients by truncating the infinite series and satisfy the remaining boundary conditions approximately. Numerical experiments show that the results are acceptable. Tables are given along with the graph of the system of the resulting streamlines and the dynamical pressure acting on the obstacle. The drawn system of streamlines shows the correctness of the solution and the pressure is maximum on the side facing the upstream extremity of the channel. The same procedure can be adequately applied for problems with more complicated geometry and other phenomenon can thus be simulated.

1  Introduction

The problem of the study of water-wave flow under an upper fixed floating obstacle is very important from theoretical and experimental points of view. This model simulates the phenomenon of waves falling on a floating ship in a vast ocean. The class including this type of problem is called the class of Cauchy–Poisson Problems (CPP).

This class of problems simulates several phenomena having geophysical interests. These models simulate the phenomenon of waves abording a floating ship in a vast ocean. The same models, also simulate the phenomenon of fluid-structure interaction of a large ice sheet in waves. We can find a discussion of this issue in [14]. These problems are non-linear, mixed free boundary value problems. Certain specified initial conditions may be assumed to these free boundary value problems [5,6]. Several difficulties envisage the theoretical study of these mathematical models. The non-linearity of the model and the fact that the free surface is not known from the outset are some of these difficulties. Other difficulties are represented in the irregularity of the geometry of the region of the problem.

To overcome the non-linearity difficulty, the problem is treated following theories of long waves or the shallow water [710]. The linear theory of motion and theories of higher orders may be adopted [4,11]. Researchers usually use perturbation techniques to concur the difficulties coming from the irregularity of the region of the problem and approximate analytical solutions are sought. One may carry out the perturbation around a vertical or a horizontal line [79,1216] regarding the particular geometry of the studied problem. It is impossible to obtain exact analytical solutions once the geometry deviates from being simple and other additional conditions are to be assumed on the geometry in order to obtain approximate analytical solutions. These additional conditions may include the assumption of thin barriers [79], or that of infinite depth [16], or mild slope and short topographies [11,1315].

Numerical techniques are other alternatives if the analytical approach is inadequate. For a review of the numerical methods applied to CPP see [17,18] and references included. However, numerical procedures have their difficulties. These difficulties are appearing in convergence, stability, consistency, and error accumulation and need huge computations.

The spectral methods are semi-analytical methods used for the solution. Trefftz method [19,20], the procedures of perturbation [11,21], the boundary integral techniques [22,23], and the method of fundamental solutions [24] are examples of the semi-analytical methods. An original method for the study of flow over topography is given in [25]. This method is classified as a semi-analytical one.

The phenomenon of scattering of waves by an immersed or floating barrier in deep or in shallow water is a subject that attracts the attention of several authors (see for example, for analytical study [79], [2534], for numerical study [29,35,36] and for experimental study [28,29,3741]).

We follow here the method introduced by Abou-Dina et al. [25] for the study of water-wave flow under a fixed floating obstacle and for discovering the behavior of the resulting flow. Following this technique, the region of the definition of the problem is divided into three sub-regions. One of these regions contains a fixed floating body. We express the solutions satisfying the equations and conditions in the semi-infinite sub-domains with a set of unknown coefficients and elementary harmonic functions. The velocity potential function in the subdomain containing the obstacle is extended analytically through the boundary of the floating obstacle. We give a general solution in the enlarged sub-domain by applying the finite cosine Fourier transform. This solution uses another set of arbitrary constants and satisfies the system of equations and conditions on the horizontal bottom. We express the solution in the three subregions using one set only of coefficients by applying the continuity of the remaining physical quantities. This solution satisfies the system of equations and conditions of the problem except those on the fixed floating obstacle and probably on a part of the free surface. We satisfy these latter conditions and hence we get an equation in the form of a series to be fulfilled on the boundary of the obstacle and on the considered part of the free surface if necessary. The coefficients are obtained as a solution of a system of linear equations. Acceptable results obeying a certain specified error measure are given for the particular case of an obstacle with a sinusoidal boundary.

The application, dealing with this boundary of the fixed floating obstacle, ascertains the efficiency of applying this procedure for the solution. The drawn system of streamlines shows the correctness of the solution and the dynamical pressure acting on the witted surface of the fixed floating obstacle is exhibited graphically. The pressure is found to be maximum on the side facing the incident wave and decreases till attaining its minimal values on the other side.

2  Description of the Problem

The problem is described by an infinite channel of finite depth. This channel is occupied by a fluid layer of constant density. The fluid layer is bounded from above and from below by a free surface and an impermeable horizontal bottom, respectively. A floating obstacle of arbitrary shape is partially immersed at the free surface (Fig. 1). The fixed floating barrier partially obstructs a wave propagating in the fluid. The incident wave is harmonic with frequency denoted by images. This situation generates transmitted and reflected waves and local perturbations as well. It is required to find the coefficients of the transmission and the reflection. The local oscillations are also to be determined. The problem is studied in two dimensions. The study is carried out following the first-order theory of motion, the fluid is considered ideal and a velocity potential is assumed. We use the Cartesian frame, shown in Fig. 1. The origin of the system of coordinates is chosen in the mean horizontal line of the upper bound of the fluid, the x-axis and the y-axis are taken as shown in the figure.

4  Solution

We follow the method presented by Abou-Dina et al. [6] to get a solution for the above system of equations and conditions.

The region bounded by x = 0 and x = a contains the floating barrier. The region of the problem is thus divided into three subregions: V , V0, and V+ as shown in (Fig. 2).

images

Figure 2: The three subregions V , V0, and V+

We will solve the problem and the solution includes certain unknown coefficients. The equation in the fluid mass and a part of the boundary conditions are satisfied by this solution. Applying the continuity of the physical quantities at x = 0 and x = a will relate the solutions in the neighboring subregions. We determine the unknown coefficients approximately.

4.1 Study in the Semi-Infinite Domains

Applying the method of separation of variables for the solution of the system of equations and conditions in the regions V and V+ the solution is obtained in these semi-infinite regions respectively as [5,6]

where images denotes the root of the equation

images

and images denote the roots of the equation

images

I0, R0, and T0 are the amplitudes of the incident, the reflected and the transmitted waves respectively. Rp and Tp are complex constant coefficients. The obtained solution includes progressive waves going towards the channel extremities and local perturbations decaying in going away from the obstacle. It is required to calculate the coefficients R0, T0, Rp and Tp.

4.2 Solution in the Area images

images is the potential in the area V0. This function satisfies Laplace’s equation in V0 and is continuous on images. The function images is constant on the boundary of the floating barrier. Therefore, the function images can be extended on the area OABC of Fig. 3. The extended function is harmonic on the extended region and is denoted by V. If the domain of the problem is multi connected, i.e., it contains holes then this holes are removed and replaced by suitable sources (logarithmic sources) and this has been studied in [27]. Also if there is an external pressure acting on the free surface [22] or a finite part the bottom of the channel is set in motion, the same procedure is applied but the control region V is enlarged to include the parts of the external pressure or the moving bottom.

The extended function will also be denoted by images. The system of equations and conditions satisfied by function images is given as:

We use the transform images of images defined as [42]:

images

Applying this transformation to Eqs. (16), (18) and (20)(22), the functions images, images are obtained after some manipulation in terms of constant coefficients am as

images

The finite Fourier transform (23) has the following inversion expression [42]:

images

Using (23) and (24) together with the expressions

images

and

images

the velocity potential in the domain V0 is obtained as

images

Substituting expression (27) of images into conditions (17) and (19), we get the following relations

images

and

images

The orthogonality of the functions images, over images, is used. The coefficients R0, T0, Rp and Tp, images are obtained by the use of relations (28) and (29), in the form:

The function images given by (27) is written using (30)(33) in terms of am, images as

where images, images are given as:

The functions images, images and images are obtained from relations (11), (14), (15), (36) and (37) as

and

images

The functions images, images are defined as

images

It can be shown using expressions (14) and (15) together with the boundary conditions on the upper and lower bounds of the control region V0 that

images

Eq. (42) translates the conservation of energy. The conservation of mass is satisfied if

images

which becomes an identity, if we set

images

where k > 0 is an integer. k > 0 is taken as the smallest integer (k0) making the sub-domain V0 enclose the fixed floating obstacle.

4.3 The Approximate Solution

To get the functions images and images, in the whole region of the problem, in terms of am, images0, we collect relations (14), (15) and (36) for images and (38)(40) for images. These functions satisfy the equations of the problem except the condtion on the higher bound of V0 (see Fig. 2). We satisfy this condition approximately to determine am, images

As shown in Fig. 2, the upper bound of the sub-domain V0 consists of two parts of the free surface lying on both sides of the floating obstacle, precisely at images and images, in addition to a third part represented by the lower boundary of the obstacle with equation y = − K(x), images. In the frame of the linear theory of motion adopted here, the condition on the free surface, at images and images, reduces to

images

which together with expression (36) lead to the following constraints posed on am, images

images

images are defined by (37). Relations (46) are simplified as

images

On the other hand, the function images, given by (43)(45), should have a constant value on the boundary of the floating obstacle images since this boundary is a part of a certain streamline. Therefore, the coefficients am has also to obey the following series equation

images

where C0 denotes the constant value taken by the stream-function images on the barrier with equation images (see Fig. 1 for the constants b, c). Let x0 be a point arbitrarily chosen in the interval images with y0 = − K(x0). Condition (48) may be replaced by the following

images

If the floating obstacle occupies the interval images, and no part of the free surface is enclosed in this interval then expression (49) only is to be considered and expressions (47) are discarded. We hence give the solution to the problem in terms of a set of coefficients am. To determine the coefficients of expressions (47, 49), we follow the collocation procedure [39,40]. We replace the infinite upper limit of the series on the L.H.S. of both expressions (47) and (49) by M has taken sufficiently large according to the desired accuracy. We choose a decomposition images for images such that images, where N is an integer with N > M. We thus obtain the following system of equations

images

The elements Bm, n and Dn are

images

and

images

We have a number N of linear Eqs. (50)(52) in a number M of the coefficients images with N > M. We put this system in the following square form

images

where images is the vector of unknown coefficients images, images is the transpose of the matrix images and images is the vector of constants Dn. The solution of the system (53) determines the velocity potential images and the stream-function images, in the sub-region V0 as

images

and

images

respectively.

The function images given by (54) satisfies approximately a relation of the form (45) and the function images given by (55) has approximately a constant value along the boundary of the immersed part of the obstacle. We introduce ER(N, M)(x), images, as local error with:

images

By checking the inequality

images

for a control parameter images, the choice of N and M can be controlled. Also, this can be done by checking another inequality of the form

images

We start with a choice of N and M, then if (4.46) (or (4.47)) is not satisfied, the values of N and M are increased, and we restart the technique to obtaining the desired result. The straight forward collocation technique is met by setting N = M + 1.

Approximate expressions for R0 and T0 are then given as

images

and

images

respectively.

5  Numerical Experiments for a Floating Obstacle of a Sinusoidal Boundary

As a numerical experiment, we consider the case of a fixed floating obstacle with a lower immersed part of a sinusoidal boundary with H as a maximum depth and width W. K(x) is considered as

images

The constant k0 is chosen such that images. k0 is the smallest integer satisfying this relation in such a way that the finite sub-domain V0, lying in the middle with the width a, encloses the fixed floating obstacle (see Fig. 2). Here, we considered the parameters of Fig. 1 as b = 0 and c = W, and Fig. 4 shows the boundary of the floating obstacle in such a case. This curve represents the witted part of the boundary of the floating ship.

5.1 Reliability of the Method

We find the error images for some choices of the numbers M and N in Tab. 1. The numerical values given to the different parameters are taken as images, H/h = 0.5 and W/h = a/h = 5.2373. The value of images is 1.1997 and we have taken k0 = 1 which results images as required. The nodes images in images are assumed equidistant.

Table 1: The errors images for the fixed floating obstacle of Eq. (58)

images

Tab. 1 indicates that, the efficiency of the method is in general acceptable and that for images, the error oscillates between 10−8 and 10−6. The values N = 250 and M = 290 give the best result in the table. For the present application there is an optimum value of M(M + 1 = 251) and hence it is not recommended to increase the number M without limit.

Fig. 5 exhibits images along images for the values M = 250 and N = 290. As shown, this error is localized near the bounds of the fixed floating obstacle at x = 0 and at x = W.

images

Figure 5: The error images for M = 250 and N = 290

The conservation of energy relation (42) associated with the error distribution shown on Fig. 5 is images, with an error of the order of 10−4. while the conservation of mass relation (43) is satisfied identically.

5.2 The System of Streamlines

Streamlines are a family of curves that are instantaneously tangent to the velocity vector of the flow. The stream function images assumes constant value on each streamline and the general equation of this family takes the form

images

where different values of the constant on the R.H.S. of Eq. (62), gives different streamlines.

Fig. 6 illustrates the system of streamlines, in the present application, inside the extended region V.

images

Figure 6: The system of streamlines inside the control region V

Fig. 7 illustrates the system of streamlines inside the control region V0. The number assigned to each line refers to the constant value of the function images along this line.

images

Figure 7: The system of streamlines inside the control region V0

The horizontal bottom of the channel is the lowest streamline (images) and the lower boundary of the fixed floating obstacle is a part of another streamline (images). For the present application images.

Fig. 7 shows that the fluid particles are accelerated when approaching the fixed floating obstacle.

5.3 Pressure Applied to the Immerged Part of the Fixed Floating Obstacle

The calculation of the dynamical pressure acting on the witted part of the boundary of the fixed floating obstacle (which simulates the floating ship) has a certain practical interest. Fig. 8 illustrates the real part of the dimensionless dynamical pressure along this boundary. The figure shows that the pressure is greater on the side facing the incident wave direction and decreases till attaining its minimum value on the other side.

6  Conclusions

The objective of the present work is to study a model, simulating the phenomenon of reflection and transmission of an incident wave on a floating ship in a vast ocean. The obtained results may be used in checking the reliability of other methods proposed for studying the same problem. We satisfy exactly the equations and the conditions of the problem except for the condition on the fixed obstacle’s which we satisfy approximately.

The worked applications show that the method is easy to use with reasonable numerical calculations. The accuracy of the method is tested on a particular worked application and the resulting system of streamlines is given and the dynamical pressure acting on the witted part of the surface of the fixed floating obstacle is calculated as well. The limiting case of a floating obstacle having the form of a vertical partially immersed thin barrier needs another procedure for the study and is in progress. This case needs special care.

If the boundary of the floating body contains corner points [25], the solution is singular. This is not physical and comes from the mathematical treatment. To avoid this inconvenient result the corner points should be smoothed to a convenient order.
