Numerical Modelling of Fluid-structure Interactions for Floating Wind Turbine Foundations
, Twenty-third International Offshore and Polar Engineering Conference, Pages: 377-382The aim of this study is to model the interactions between fluids and solids using fully nonlinear models. Non-linearity is important in the context of floating wind turbines, for example, to model breaking waves impacting on the structure and the effect of the solid’s elasticity. In this work, the fluid- and solid-dynamics equations are solved using separate finite-element models, which are coupled at every time step. This enables the mutual interactions between fluids and moving solids to be modelled. Importantly, the coupling algorithm ensures that the action-reaction principle is satisfied at a discrete level, independently of the order of representation of the discrete fields in each model. To the authors’ knowledge, the present algorithm is novel in that it can simultaneously handle (i) non-matching fluid and solid meshes, (ii) different polynomial orders of the basis functions on each mesh, and (iii) different fluid and solid time steps. Results are shown for: (i) a bottom-mounted pile subjected to small-amplitude waves in a numerical wave tank, and (ii) a truncated pile floating at an interface between air and water.

A Study of the Influence of Fragmentation in Ore-Pass Hang-up Phenomena
, Publisher: American Rock Mechanics AssociationAbstract: Fragmentation strongly influences the interlocking hang-up phenomena, a common occurrence in conjunction with cohesive arching around draw points in block caving systems. This work presents a brief numerical study of the influence of fragmentation on interlocking hang-up phenomena. Fragment interaction and breakup are simulated numerically by combining the impulse-based energy tracking method (ETM) and the finite element method (FEM) in three dimensions. Numerical tests with varying size of ore fragments are carried out. The breakage of rock fragments is modeled during the entire simulation and the influence of fragmentation is investigated in terms of productivity and the efficiency of draw point extraction. Simulation results with fragmentation are compared to non-fragmentation numerical tests. It is observed that with fragmentation, 1.93% and 2.57% more volume of ore fragments are extracted before hang-up when the initial diameter of ore fragments is 5.775 m and 7.5 m, respectively.
