Lamb’S Problem

I describe the properties of a fourth‐order accurate space, second‐order accurate time, two‐dimensional P-SV finite‐difference scheme based on the Madariaga‐Virieux staggered‐grid formulation. The numerical scheme is developed from the first‐order system of hyperbolic elastic equations of motion and constitutive laws expressed in particle velocities and stresses. The Madariaga‐Virieux staggered‐grid scheme has the desirable quality that it can correctly model any variation in material properties, including both large and small Poisson’s ratio materials, with minimal numerical dispersion and numerical anisotropy. Dispersion analysis indicates that the shortest wavelengths in the model need to be sampled at 5 gridpoints/wavelength. The scheme can be used to accurately simulate wave propagation in mixed acoustic‐elastic media, making it ideal for modeling marine problems. Explicitly calculating both velocities and stresses makes it relatively simple to initiate a source at the free‐surface or within a layer and to satisfy free‐surface boundary conditions. Benchmark comparisons of finite‐difference and analytical solutions to Lamb’s problem are almost identical, as are comparisons of finite‐difference and reflectivity solutions for elastic‐elastic and acoustic‐elastic layered models.

Effects of free surface on development of turbulent boundary layer and wake fields were investigated. By measuring flow field around a surface piercing cylinder in various advance speed conditions in a towing tank, free surface effects were identified. A towed underwater Stereoscopic Particle Image Velocimetry (SPIV) system was used to measure the flow field under free surface. The cross section of the test model was water plane shape of the Wigley hull, of which longitudinal length and width were 1.0 m and 100 mm, respectively. With sharp bow shape and slender cross section, flow separation was not expected in two-dimensional flow. Flow fields near the free-surface and in deep location that two-dimensional flow field was expected were measured and compared to identify free-surface effects. Some planes perpendicular to longitudinal direction near the model surface and behind the model were selected to track development of turbulent boundary layer. Froude numbers of the test conditions were from 0.126 to 0.40 and corresponding Reynolds numbers were from 395,000 to 1,250,000. In the lowest Froude number condition, free-surface wave was hardly observed and only free surface effects without surface wave could be identified while violent free-surface behavior due to wave-induced separation dominated the flow fields in the highest Froude number condition. From the instantaneous velocity fields, Time-mean velocity, turbulence kinetic energy, and flow structure derived by proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) were analyzed. As the free-surface effect, development of retarded wake, free-surface waves, and wave-induced separation were mainly observed.
