A full-size test rig of water-lubricated stern bearing (WSB) with an elevation adjustment device was constructed and various measurement devices were used to study the lubrication characteristics of the bearing under different conditions. The distribution lubrication characteristic of WSB at the axial direction was observed, and the bearing lubrication region was divided into three sub-regions with different take-off speeds. The negative pressure and hull deformation were found to affect the lubrication characteristics and loads carried by the water film and asperity contact.
A full-size test rig of water-lubricated stern bearing (WSB) with an elevation adjustment device was built. High -precision wireless telemetry device obtained four film pressure signals. Six eddy current sensors were adopted to measure the axis orbit. The effect of bias load, rotational speed, and hull deformation on bearing lubrication characteristics are systematically studied. Experimental results showed the distribution lubrication characteristic of WSB at the axial direction. The WSB lubrication region can be divided into the three sub-regions in the middle and both ends of the bearing. Three lubrication sub-regions have different take-off speeds. Under the bias load, the negative pressure was found in the film pressure distribution. The hull deformation affects the position and area of each lubrication sub-region, changing the loads carried by the water film and asperity contact. Research results have a great contribution to WSB optimization structure design.

Dynamic Model and Parameter Identification of Magnetic Liquid-Double-Suspension Elastic-Supported Thrust Bearing

Bin Wang, Wu Ouyang, Shengtong Wang, Chenxing Sheng, Jinhua Xiao, Zhe Li

Summary: In this study, a novel Magnetic Liquid-double-suspension Elastic-supported Thrust Bearing (MLETB) is designed for the heavy load and low viscosity operation conditions of the marine rim-driven thruster (RDT). The MLETB combines the structural features of the Rubber-supported Water-lubricated Thrust Bearing (RWTB) and Permanent Magnet Bearing (PMB). The experimental results show that the MLETB has better load capacity and dynamic performance, but its stiffness and damping are seriously affected by the specific rubber structure.

Changxiong Ning, Wu Ouyang, Fei Hu, Xinping Yan, Dongling Xu

Summary: This paper proposes a wear monitoring method based on an improved ultrasonic reflection coefficient amplitude spectrum to overcome the challenges caused by the viscoelasticity, heterogeneity, and acoustic attenuation of polymer materials. The method utilizes an ultrasonic transfer function and a differential evolutionary algorithm to accurately determine the thickness, sound velocity, density, and attenuation coefficients of polymer bearings. Experimental results demonstrate that the method achieves a thickness identification error of approximately 0.5% for different probe contact pressure, roughness, and tilt angle conditions, and a reconfiguration thickness identification error of less than 1% for all water film overlap situations.

Feature Recognition on Friction Induced Vibration of Water-Lubricated Bearing under Low Speed and Heavy Load

Yong Jin, Ruiqing Li, Wu Ouyang, Zhenglin Liu, Qilin Liu, Qipeng Xiong, Jianhui Zhou

Summary: Under low speed and heavy load operating conditions, the marine water-lubricated bearing (WLB) experiences abnormal friction-induced vibrations and noise in underwater vehicles due to mixed lubrication state. An empirical mode decomposition (EMD) based method was proposed to identify the friction-induced vibration characteristics of WLB and experiments were conducted. The study revealed that specific pressure and lubricant temperature had significant effects on friction-induced vibrations, while cooling water flow had little effect. Analyzing the characteristics of IMF energy, time-domain standard deviation, bias angle, and center of gravity frequency could visualize the trend and critical points of friction-induced vibrations.

Double-averaged turbulence statistics of wave current flow over rough bed with staggered arrangement of hemispherical blocks

Jayanta Shounda, Krishnendu Barman, Koustuv Debnath

Summary: This study investigates the double-average turbulence characteristics of combined wave-current flow over a rough bed with different spacing arrangements. The results show that a spacing ratio of p/r=4 offers the highest resistance to the flow, and the double-average Reynolds stress decreases throughout the flow depth. The advection of momentum-flux of normal stress shows an increase at the outer layer and a decrease near the bed region after wave imposition. Maximum turbulence kinetic energy production and diffusion occur at different layers. The turbulence structure is strongly anisotropic at the bottom region and near the outer layer, with a decrease in anisotropy observed with an increase in roughness spacing.

Influence of blocking ratio on hydrodynamic force on deep-water pier under earthquake

Hangyuan Zhang, Wanli Yang, Dewen Liu, Xiaokun Geng, Wangyu Dai, Yuzhi Zhang

Summary: The deep-water bridge is more vulnerable to earthquake damage than the bridge standing in air. The larger blocking ratio has a significant impact on the added mass coefficient, which requires further comprehensive study. The generation mechanism of block effect is analyzed using numerical simulation software ANSYS Fluent. The results show that the recirculation zone with focus reduces the pressure on the back surface of the cylinder, resulting in the peak value of in-line force not occurring synchronously with the peak value of acceleration. The change in position and intensity of the recirculation zone with focus, as well as the change in water flow around the cylinder surface, are identified as the generation mechanism of the block effect, which has a 10% influence on the hydrodynamic force. The changing rule of the added mass coefficient with blocking ratio is discussed in detail, and a modification approach to the current added mass coefficient calculation method is suggested. Physical experiments are conducted to validate the modification approach, and the results show that it is accurate and can be used in further study and real practice.
