Abstract:
Fifth-generation district heating and cooling (5th DHC) systems offer promising approaches to decarbonizing space heating, cooling and domestic hot water supply. By using these systems, clustered buildings combined with industrial waste heat can achieve a net-zero energy balance on a variety of time scales. Thanks to the low exergy approach, these systems are highly efficient. As part of the Smart Anergy Quarter Baden (SANBA) project, the thermal energy grid simulation tool TEGSim has been further developed and used to design an ultra-low-temperature district heating (ULTDH) network with hydraulic and thermal components fitted to the specific regional characteristics of the investigated case. Borehole thermal energy storage (BTES) used as seasonal storage ensures long-term feasibility. The annual discrepancy of input of thermal energy provided by space cooling and output of energy demanded by space heating and domestic hot water is supplied by an external low-grade industrial waste heat source. This paper presents the functionality of the simulation and shows how to interpret the findings concerning the design of all components and their interplay, energy consumption and efficiencies.

Abstract:
Based on the domestic and overseas researches of project risk assessment methods, this paper classifies project risk assessment methods into subjective judgment methods, evidence and deduction methods, system simulation methods and other methods. After exploring their definitions, advantages and disadvantages, this paper points out that subjective judgment and empirical analogy become two mainstream risk assessment methods. In the end, this paper claims that a risk assessment method does not need any unfathomable theory for its obvious engineering characteristics, but focuses on operability and applicability.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to compare the load calculation results by a model using the air changes per hour (ACH) method and a model using an airflow network (AFN) and to ascertain what causes the difference between the two models. In the basic case study, the difference in the heat transfer distribution of the model in the interior space was investigated. The most significant difference between the two models is the heat transfer that results from infiltration. Parameter analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between the difference and the environmental variables. The result shows that the greater the difference is between the air temperature inside the balcony and the outdoor air temperature, and the greater the air flows from the balcony to the residential area, and the greater the heating and cooling load difference occurs. The analysis using the actual weather files of five domestic cities in South Korea rather than a virtual case shows that the differences are not so obvious when the wind blows at a constant speed throughout the year, but are dominant when the wind does not blow during the night and is stronger alongside the occurrence of sunlight during the day.

Abstract:
The Gompertz growth curve is used to describe the urban water population, the linear function is used to represent the per capita disposable income, and the domestic water demand is described combined with the factors of population, income, and the water-saving consciousness. The VES production function is used to describe the production function of the domestic water supply. Combined with system dynamics, the supply and demand management model of urban domestic water in Jiangsu province, China, is developed. The process of water supply investment and labor input in the urban domestic water system is studied with two depreciation methods: the straight-line depreciation method and the sum of years digits method. In the case that the water consumption population is expected to decline, four water demand scenarios composed of different per capita disposable income and the growth rate of water-saving consciousness are investigated. Investment and labor input are taken as control variables to conduct water supply and demand simulations for the four scenarios. The results show that the control schemes in all four scenarios reach a balance between water supply and demand. Moreover, the investment of the sum of years digits method is larger than that of the straight-line depreciation method in 2005–2019 but less than that of the straight-line depreciation method in 2020–2034. The sum of years digits method has the characteristics of more depreciation in the early stage and less depreciation in the later stage, which is conducive to timely compensation for the large loss of fixed assets in the early stage.

Abstract:
In this thesis, there are generally three contributions to the Ranking and Selection problem in discrete-event simulation area. Ranking and selection is an important problem when people want to select single or multiple best designs from alternative pool. There are two different types in discrete-event simulation: terminating simulation and steady-state simulation. For steady-state simulation, there is an initial trend before the data output enters into the steady-state, if we cannot start the simulation from steady state. We need to remove the initial trend before we use the data to estimate the steady-state mean. Our first contribution regards the application to eliminate the initial trend/initialization bias. In this thesis, we present a novel solution to remove the initial trend motivated by offline change detection method. The method is designed to monitor the cumulative absolute bias from the estimated steady-state mean. Experiments are conducted to compare our procedure with other existing methods. Our method is shown to be at least no worse than those methods and in some cases much better. After removing the initialization bias, we can apply a ranking and selection procedure for the data outputs from steady-state simulation. There are two main approaches to ranking and selection problem. One is subset selection and the other one is indifference zone selection. Also by employing directed graph, some single-best ranking and selection methods can be extended to solve multi-best selection problem. Our method is designed to solve multi-best ranking and selection. And in Chapter 3, one procedure for ranking and selection in terminating simulation is extended based full sequential idea. It means we compare the sample means among all systems in contention at each stage. Also, we add a technique to do pre-selection of the superior systems at the same time of eliminating inferior systems. This can accelerate the speed of obtaining the number of best systems we want. Experiments are conducted to demonstrate the pre-selection technique can save observation significantly compared with the procedure without it. Also compared with existing methods, our procedure can save significant number of observations. We also explore the effect of common random number. By using it in the simulation process, more observations can be saved. The third contribution of this thesis is to extend the procedure in Chapter 3 for steady-state simulation. Asymptotic variance is employed in this case. We justify our procedure in asymptotic point of view. And by doing extensive experiments, we demonstrate that our procedure can work in most cases when sample size is finite

This thesis describes the systematic development of methods to perform large scale dynamic simulations of hydrodynamically interacting colloidal particles undergoing Brownian motion. Approximations to the hydrodynamic interactions between particles are built from the periodic fundamental solution for flow at zero Reynolds number and are methodically improved by introducing the multipole expansion and constraints on particle dynamics. Ewald sum splitting, which decomposes the sum of slowly decaying interactions into two rapidly decaying sums evaluated indepently in real space and Fourier space, is used to accelerate the calculation and serves as the basis for a new technique to sample the Brownian displacements that is orders of magnitude faster than prior approaches. The simulation method is first developed using the ubiquitous Rotne-Prager approximation for the hydrodynamic interactions.
Extension of the Rotne-Prager approximation is achieved via the multipole expansion, which introduces the notion of induced force moments whose value is determined from the solution of constraint problems (for example, rigid particles cannot deform in flow), and methods for handling these multipole-based constraints are illustrated. The multipole expansion converges slowly when particles are nearly touching, a problem which is functionally solved for dynamic simulations by including divergent lubrication interactions, in the style of Stokesian Dynamics. The lubrication interactions effectively introduce an additional constraint on the relative motion of closely separated particle pairs. This constraint is combined with the multipole constraints by developing a general method to handle nearly arbitrary dynamic constraints using saddle point matrices. Finally, the methods developed herein are applied to study sedimentation in suspensions of attractive colloidal particles.
The simulation results are used to develop a predictive model for the hindered/promoted settling function that describes the mean sedimentation rate as a function of particle concentration and attraction strength.

Abstract:

Personal transportation has a large and increasing impact on people, society, and the environment globally. Computational energy-use simulation is becoming a key tool for automotive research and development in designing efficient, sustainable, and consumer acceptable personal transportation systems. Historically, research in personal transportation system design has not been held to the same standards as other scientific fields in that classical experimental design concepts have not been followed in practice. Instead, transportation researchers have built their analyses around available automotive simulation tools, but conventional automotive simulation tools are not well-equipped to answer system-level questions regarding transportation system design, environmental impacts, and policy analysis.

The proposed work in this dissertation aims to provide a means for applying more relevant simulation and analysis tools to these system-level research questions. First, I describe the objectives and requirements of vehicle energy-use simulation and design research, and the tools that have been used to execute this research. Next this dissertation develops a toolset for constructing system-level design studies with structured investigations and defensible hypothesis testing. The roles of experimental design, optimization, concept of operations, decision support, and uncertainty are defined for the application of automotive energy simulation and system design studies.

The results of this work are a suite of computational design and analysis tools that can serve to hold automotive research to the same standard as other scientific fields while providing the tools necessary to complete defensible and objective design studies.

Abstract:
Different methods are being used for the removal of unwanted material from waste sewage water such as mini sewage treatment plant, infiltration and filter bed. But as compared to all above methods introduction of marsh is more beneficial, as marsh efficiency is much better then above mentioned methods. Marshes also have important role in biodiversity. Domestic waste sewage water contains organic material, viruses, bacteria and pathogens, nitrate and phosphate. These all factor influence the external environment. Removal of nitrate and phosphate is necessary because if they are not removed they may cause rapid increase in the growth of algae. Algae have short life span so they die. Bacteria use a lot of oxygen for the decomposition of algae. So as a result there becomes deoxygenating in the marsh. Most of the animals die because of lack of oxygen in the water source. Marsh method is better as compared to other methods for the removal of organic material and nutrients. Subsurface flow is needed in wetland for getting the best result. Subsurface flow wetland system will make the process better and it will minimize the effect of odor and insects and these both things directly create bad effect on external environment. In the subsurface flow wetland Phragmites australis and similar plants are used. Bacteria grow on the roots of these plants and break down the nutrients. Waste water treatment marshes are best suited for smaller towns, villages and single family homes. They work best under relatively warm conditions, but many are used in temperate climate as well. For the removal of microorganisms, chlorine is to be used, as it is best way for the removal of it. A de-chlorination process is also necessary, otherwise this water will create bad effect on aquatic life.

Abstract:
A reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by the energy sector is required to decelerate global warming. With the domestic sector being the biggest energy consumer, a great amount of saving potential is available in the operation of dwellings. This thesis is proposing to improve domestic energy efficiency by combining energy saving control measures designed to be made by occupants and automation systems, called Combined Occupant and Automation Control (COAC). It highlights that the occupant’s position is necessary to effectively integrate both of those conservation methods. Three unobtrusive domestic occupant detection technologies were identified and compared for this purpose. Device-free Localisation (DfL), an emerging technology, which was found to be the most suited for a COAC system, was then investigated further by the means of a series of technical experiments. A questionnaire, investigating user perception of DfL and of COAC systems, was conducted. Furthermore, case studies were undertaken, during which three dwellings with real occupants received prototypes of a COAC system, consisting of automated washing appliances and a smart pricing scheme. As part of these case studies, semi-structured interviews were conducted. User preferences with regards to the COAC system’s interface and operation were established. Also, behavioural changes, induced by occupant control methods, were observed. The different studies furthermore found that financial gain was the main incentive to save energy. Automation system’s support in conserving energy was demonstrated to be distinctly appreciated and although security and privacy concerns were prevalent, DfL’s support was also permitted. Furthermore, guidance was developed for DfL setup and operation, especially with regards to using an automation system’s infrastructure for this purpose. In conclusion, this research suggests that the novel concept of integrating DfL and COAC meets the technical and practical requirements for general adoption, and hence provides another tool in the race against global warming.

Abstract:
This thesis is providing an insight into the verification of a quasi-static simulation model based on the estimation of fuel consumption using machine learning methods. Traditional verification using real test data is not always available. Therefore, a methodology consisting of verification analysis based on estimation methods was developed together with an improving process of a quasi-static simulation model. The modelling of the simulation model mainly consists of designing and implementing a gear selection strategy together with the gearbox itself for a dual clutch transmission dedicated to hybrid application. The purpose of the simulation model is to replicate the fuel consumption behaviour of vehicle data provided from performed tests. To verify the simulation results, a so-called ranking model is developed. The ranking model estimates a fuel consumption reference for each time step of the WLTC homologation drive cycle using multiple linear regression. The results of the simulation model are verified, and a scoring system is used to indicate the performance of the simulation model, based on the correlation between estimated- and simulated data of the fuel consumption. The results show that multiple linear regression can be an appropriate approach to use as verification of simulation models. The normalised cross-correlation power is also examined and turns out to be a useful measure for correlation be-tween signals including a lag. The developed ranking model is a fast first step of evaluating a new vehicle configuration concept.

Natural gas is one of the world's leading sources of fuel in terms of both global production and consumption. The abundance of reserves that may be developed at relatively low cost, paired with escalating societal and regulatory pressures to harness low carbon fuels, situates natural gas in a position of growing importance to the global energy landscape. However, the nonuniform distribution of readily-developable natural gas sources around the world necessitates the existence of an international gas market that can serve those regions without reasonable access to reserves. International transmission of natural gas via pipeline is generally cost-prohibitive beyond around two thousand miles, and so suppliers instead turn to the production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to yield a tradable commodity. While the production of LNG is by no means a new technology, it has not occupied a dominant role in the gas trade to date. However, significant growth in LNG exports has been observed within the last few years, and this trend is expected to continue as major new liquefaction operations have and continue to become operational worldwide. Liquefaction of natural gas is an energy-intensive process requiring specialized cryogenic equipment, and is therefore expensive both in terms of operating and capital costs. However, optimization of liquefaction processes is greatly complicated by the inherently complex thermodynamic behavior of process streams that simultaneously change phase and exchange heat at closely-matched cryogenic temperatures. The determination of optimal conditions for a given process will also generally be nontransferable information between LNG plants, as both the specifics of design (e.g. heat exchanger size and configuration) and the operation (e.g. source gas composition) may have significantly variability between sites. Rigorous evaluation of process concepts for new production facilities is also challenging to perform, as economic objectives must be optimized in the presence of constraints involving equipment size and safety precautions even in the initial design phase. The absence of reliable and versatile software to perform such tasks was the impetus for this thesis project. To address these challenging problems, the aim of this thesis was to develop new models, methods and algorithms for robust liquefaction process simulation and optimization, and to synthesize these advances into reliable and versatile software. Recent advances in the sensitivity analysis of nondifferentiable functions provided an advantageous foundation for the development of physically-informed yet compact process models that could be embedded in established simulation and optimization algorithms with strong convergence properties. Within this framework, a nonsmooth model for the core unit operation in all industrially-relevant liquefaction processes, the multi-stream heat exchanger, was first formulated. The initial multistream heat exchanger model was then augmented to detect and handle internal phase transitions, and an extension of a classic vapor-liquid equilibrium model was proposed to account for the potential existence of solutions in single-phase regimes, all through the use of additional nonsmooth equations. While these initial advances enabled the simulation of liquefaction processes under the conditions of simple, idealized thermodynamic models, it became apparent that these methods would be unable to handle calculations involving nonideal thermophysical property models reliably. To this end, robust nonsmooth extensions of the celebrated inside-out algorithms were developed. These algorithms allow for challenging phase equilibrium calculations to be performed successfully even in the absence of knowledge about the phase regime of the solution, as is the case when model parameters are chosen by a simulation or optimization algorithm. However, this still was not enough to equip realistic liquefaction process models with a completely reliable thermodynamics package, and so new nonsmooth algorithms were designed for the reasonable extrapolation of density from an equation of state under conditions where a given phase does not exist. This procedure greatly enhanced the ability of the nonsmooth inside-out algorithms to converge to physical solutions for mixtures at very high temperature and pressure. These models and submodels were then integrated into a flowsheeting framework to perform realistic simulations of natural gas liquefaction processes robustly, efficiently and with extremely high accuracy. A reliable optimization strategy using an interior-point method and the nonsmooth process models was then developed for complex problem formulations that rigorously minimize thermodynamic irreversibilities. This approach significantly outperforms other strategies proposed in the literature or implemented in commercial software in terms of the ease of initialization, convergence rate and quality of solutions found. The performance observed and results obtained suggest that modeling and optimizing such processes using nondifferentiable models and appropriate sensitivity analysis techniques is a promising new approach to these challenging problems. Indeed, while liquefaction processes motivated this thesis, the majority of the methods described herein are applicable in general to processes with complex thermodynamic or heat transfer considerations embedded. It is conceivable that these models and algorithms could therefore inform a new, robust generation of process simulation and optimization software.

Abstract:
Accurate and efficient simulation of lossy, multi-conductor transmission lines that are terminated by nonlinear circuits is necessary to design high-performance electronic circuits and packages. In this work, theoretical and practical considerations of lossy line simulation are presented. Using delay differential equations, the class of systems with "bidirectional delay" is introduced. These systems can be partitioned such that the resulting subsystems are only linked via delayed variables. It is stated in the "decoupling theorem" that the subsystems can be solved independently for a time interval, which is not longer than the shortest time delay. Circuits that contain transmission lines are shown to form systems with bidirectional delay and, consequently, can be decoupled. Using concepts derived from waveform relaxation, the decoupling is exploited to reduce the computational effort required for transmission line simulation. Moreover, an efficient method for the approximation of lossy line characteristics by rational transfer functions is presented. The method employs nonlinear minimization techniques and yields function coefficients suitable for time-domain modeling. Furthermore, the exponential wave propagation function is represented in the time domain, and discrete-time convolution is employed to calculate the transmission line response. Also described is a filtering method which considerably improves the stability of the simulation, while the deviation in the simulation results is smaller than the local truncation error. In addition, implementation of the lossy line simulator "UAFLICS" is outlined, and practical applications demonstrate the significance of coupling and loss effects.

Abstract:
The interaction of proteins with surfaces is a major process involved in protein microarrays. Understanding protein-surface interactions is key to improving the performance of protein microarrays, but current understanding of the behavior of proteins on surfaces is lacking. Prevailing theories on the subject, which suggest that proteins should be stabilized when tethered to surfaces, do not explain the experimentally observed fact that proteins are often denatured on surfaces. This document outlines several studies done to develop a model which is capable of predicting the stabilization and destabilization of proteins tethered to surfaces. As the start point of the research, part of this research showed that the stability of five mainly-alpha, orthogonal-bundle proteins tethered to surfaces can be correlated to the shape of the loop region where the tether is placed and the free rotation ability of the part of proteins near surfaces. To test the expandability of the protein stability prediction pattern derived for mainly-alpha, orthogonal-bundle proteins, same analysis is performed for proteins from other structure motifs. Besides the study in these small two-state proteins, a further analysis of surface-induced change of folding mechanism is also studied with a multi-state lysozyme protein 7LZM. The result showed that by tethering a protein on a surface, the melting temperature of a part of the protein changed, which leads to an avoidance of the meta-stable state. Besides the change of folding mechanism, by tethering the lysozyme protein to a certain site, the protein could both keep a stable structure and a good orientation, allowing active sites to be available to other proteins in bulk solution. All the work described above are done with a purely repulsive surface model which was widely used to roughly simulate solid surfaces in protein microarrays. For a next-level understanding of protein-surface interactions, a novel coarse-grain surface model was developed, parameterized, and validated according to experimental results from different groups. A case study of interaction between lysozyme protein 7LZM and three types of surfaces with the novel model has been performed. The results showed that protein stabilities and structures are dependent on the types of surfaces and their different hydrophobicities. This result is consistent with previously published experimental work.

Abstract:
Air circulation and temperature distribution inside a domestic refrigerator chamber are two important factors in refrigerator design. They are critical for food quality control and energy saving and are affected by natural/forced convection, radiation and layout of the stored food. Knowledge about the actual air flow and temperature distributions inside a refrigerator is required to improve temperature homogeneity and reduce energy consumption. In present work we numerically study the air circulation and the heat transfer phenomena in a domestic frost-free refrigerator. The inner compartment, the evaporator and the outside thermal insulation foam are considered. The conjugate heat transfer problem is studied by solving the unsteady laminar Navier-Stokes equations using a finite volume method. The Boussinesq approximation is used to model the natural convection. The discrete ordinate method is adopted to take into account the radiation heat transfer between the cold back evaporator and warm surfaces to further understand the impact of radiation. The accuracy of the numerical methods is verified through grid sensitivity analysis and comparison with available numerical and experimental data. Comparisons are made with and without radiation. Our simulations show that radiation significantly changes the temperature distribution and air circulation pattern. The effects of shelf and food stored on the temperature distribution and air circulation are also studied by comparing three configurations: empty refrigerator, empty refrigerator with shelves and loaded refrigerator with food.

Abstract:
Human-like motion prediction and simulation is an important task with many applications in fields such as occupational-biomechanics, ergonomics in industrial engineering, study of biomechanical systems, prevention of musculoskeletal disorders, computer-graphics animation of articulated figures, prosthesis and exoskeletons design as well as design and control of humanoid robots, among others. In an effort to get biomechanical insight in many human movements, extensive work has been conducted over the last decades on human-motion prediction of tasks as: walking, running, jumping, standing from a chair, reaching and lifting. This literature review is focused on the STS motion and the LLM. STS is defined as the process of rising from a chair to standing up position without losing stability balance, it is the most ubiquitous and torque-demanding daily labor and it is closely related to other capabilities of the human body. LLM is defined as the activity of raising a load, generally a box, from a low to a higher position while stability is maintained, this task produces a high number of incidences of low-back pain and injuries in many industrial and domestic activities. In order to predict STS and LLM, two methods have been identified: these are the OBMG method and the CBMG method.

Abstract:
Abstract Currently, technology is increasingly advanced and has penetrated into several fields such as Membrane Distillation (MD) in water treatment, especially to purify saline water, in the face of the increasing scarcity of clean water needed for consumption, both in the domestic, agriculture, and industrial sectors. One of the configurations in MD systems, self-heated Vacuum Membrane Distillation (VMD) system, which employs a Graphene-PVDF membrane heated by power supply, in this case using DC power with low voltage, to eliminate feed pre-feed heating and temperature polarization, is interesting to learn. In addition, to enhance the performances, such as optimizing permeate flux (JW), Temperature Polarization Factor (TPF), Specific Heating Energy (QSH), and Gain Output Ratio (GOR), several different designs are made and compared. In this study, four parameters are selected: DC power supply’s voltage, feed flow rate, the length, and the width of the cell-body’s slot. Ansys FLUENT software is utilized to simulate the system, followed by Minitab software to analyze the results using Response Surface Method (RSM) which aims to achieve the optimal design parameters. The simulation data was validated by experimental data and determination of the optimum conditions of the self-heated VMD system led to the best performances such as maximizing JW, TPF, and GOR, as well as minimizing QSH.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper mainly introduces the anti-crack performance of the nuclear grade nickel-based alloy welding materials produced by Baowu Special Metallurgy Co., Ltd. The research materials include welding wires (ERNiCrFe-7A), covered electrodes (ENiCrFe-7) and welding strips (EQNiCrFe-7A) used in PWR nuclear power plants. Evaluation of the anti-crack performance of the deposited metal is mainly carried out from the following three aspects: In order to study the thermal crack (crystal cracks) sensitivity of Baowu nickel-based alloy welding materials, the adjustable constraint test method is used and the results are compared with those of imported commercial welding materials; Based on STF (strain-to-fracture test) experimental method, the sensitivity of ductility dip cracking (DDC) of Baowu and imported nickel-based alloy welding materials is studied by thermal simulation equipment; The stress corrosion cracking (SCC) performance evaluation of Baowu welding materials is carried out by stress corrosion crack propagation experiment in simulated PWR primary water and compared with imported materials respectively. According to the above research, the crystal crack resistance, DDC resistance and SCC resistance of Baowu nickel-based alloy welding materials have reached the level of international high-level commercial welding material, which will further provide experimental data support for the engineering applicability and performance reliability of domestic nickel-based welding materials.

Abstract:
Humankind can effectively utilize only part of the solar energy reaching a surface of the Earth. It is due to the low density of the solar radiation and its unfavorable distribution. The majority of solar energy falls to the low latitude countries, where space-heating requirements are marginal. In these countries the solar heat is used for preparing water for washing or cleaning purposes, and this process works in one, or — maximum — a few daily cycles. In countries located at higher latitudes, where space heating is necessary in cold months, the current solar energy is insufficient to meet the space heating demand. The heat storage in deep layer of the ground is the one of possible way for solution of this problem. During the heating season, energy storage is discharged supplying the heat pomp cooperating with domestic heating system and during the summer months the storage can be charged by fluid heated in solar collectors. The main aim of presented research was analysis of using the ground layer as a heat storage system in the countries located in higher latitudes. The first variable taken into consideration was the output temperature of water leaving the solar collectors. The temperature distribution in the ground depends on the inlet water temperature, primary heated in the solar collectors, and forced into vertical boreholes. The temperature field in the ground was calculated using the duFort-Frankel finite-difference numerical method. A numerical code for 3D time dependent storage simulation has been created. The next step of analysis was calculation of waters’ temperature at the borehole output during cold months when the ground storage is discharged. This water works as a low-temperature reservoir of the heat pomp supplying the dwelling heating system. The solution of the problem is focused on an optimization of all parameters for the most efficient utilization of energy stored in the ground. The numerical genetic algorithms are scheduled to use to achieve this target.

Malej, Matt, and Fengyan Shi. Suppressing the pressure-source instability in modeling deep-draft vessels with low under-keel clearance in FUNWAVE-TVD. Engineer Research and Development Center (U.S.), May 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.21079/11681/40639.

Full text
Abstract:
This Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) documents the development through verification and validation of three instability-suppressing mechanisms in FUNWAVE-TVD, a Boussinesq-type numerical wave model, when modeling deep-draft vessels with a low under-keel clearance (UKC). Many large commercial ports and channels (e.g., Houston Ship Channel, Galveston, US Army Corps of Engineers [USACE]) are traveled and affected by tens of thousands of commercial vessel passages per year. In a series of recent projects undertaken for the Galveston District (USACE), it was discovered that when deep-draft vessels are modeled using pressure-source mechanisms, they can suffer from model instabilities when low UKC is employed (e.g., vessel draft of 12 m¹ in a channel of 15 m or less of depth), rendering a simulation unstable and obsolete. As an increasingly large number of deep-draft vessels are put into service, this problem is becoming more severe. This presents an operational challenge when modeling large container-type vessels in busy shipping channels, as these often will come as close as 1 m to the bottom of the channel, or even touch the bottom. This behavior would subsequently exhibit a numerical discontinuity in a given model and could severely limit the sample size of modeled vessels. This CHETN outlines a robust approach to suppressing such instability without compromising the integrity of the far-field vessel wave/wake solution. The three methods developed in this study aim to suppress high-frequency spikes generated nearfield of a vessel. They are a shock-capturing method, a friction method, and a viscosity method, respectively. The tests show that the combined shock-capturing and friction method is the most effective method to suppress the local high-frequency noises, while not affecting the far-field solution. A strong test, in which the target draft is larger than the channel depth, shows that there are no high-frequency noises generated in the case of ship squat as long as the shock-capturing method is used.
