Using the lumped mass mothed to simulate the anchor line and power supply cable. The result show that the great tension forces increase occurs at the moment when the mooring lines was straightened and after a marine submersible buoy system sinks to the sea floor.
Marine submersible buoy systems hold significant value as critical equipment in marine science research. This study examines a marine submersible buoy system that includes an anchor block, mooring line, battery compartment, power supply cable, and submersible buoy. The anchor-last deployment method is a conventional strategy for deploying marine submersible systems. Initially, the other components are positioned on the sea surface, followed by the deployment of the anchor block from the ship’s deck. The anchor block will pull the battery compartment and submersible buoy into the water and eventually sink to the seabed. In this deployment process, ocean currents have a relatively large impact on the anchor block’s landing position. Increasing the weight of the anchor block will make the anchor block land on the seabed sooner, which can minimize the impact of ocean currents. However, an overabundance of weight can generate a significant strain on both the cables, potentially resulting in cable breakage. In order to find the parameters that can make the anchor block reach the seabed as soon as possible and ensure that the tension force of the cables does not exceed the maximum, a dynamic model of the deployment process is established based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and solved using the Runge–Kutta method of the fourth order. Particle swarm optimization is employed to optimize the key parameters. The penalty function is used to constrain the particle space. The findings indicate that the utilization of particle swarm optimization is efficacious for optimizing the parameters of submersible buoy systems for marine applications. Optimized parameters allow the anchor block to reach the seafloor quickly and the tension on the cables to not exceed the given value.
To study the influence of launch conditions and wave interference on the stability of submersible aerial vehicles at the water–air interface, a coupling model for water-exit motion of submersible aerial vehicles was established by using the RNG k-ε turbulence model and VOF method. The water-exit processes of submersible aerial vehicles under different initial inclination angles and velocities were numerically simulated and the effects of initial inclination angle and velocity on the water-exit motion of submersible aerial vehicles were obtained. Based on the response surface function theory, a mathematical model for the motion stability of submersible aerial vehicles at the water–air interface was established, so that the submersible aerial vehicle’s pitch angle and velocity at the end of vehicle’s water-exit process, corresponding to any initial inclination angle and velocity, can be solved. The deviation between the simulated calculation result and the established fitting function model result was 2.7%. The minimum water-exit velocity of submarine aerial vehicles should be greater than 10.8 m/s. The research provides technical support for the trans-media motion stability analysis and hydrodynamic performance design of the submersible aerial vehicle.

This paper aims to study the influence of the structure of spray holes and throats on the flow field and the internal trajectory of the gas–steam ejection device. The compressible Navier–Stokes equations, discrete ordinate methods and RNG k-ε turbulence model are utilized to simulate the two-phase flow of the rocket gas with multispecies and the water sprays. The comparison between numerical results and experimental data confirms the accuracy and effectiveness of this model. The simulation analysis on the cases of the ejection process with multiple spray hole diameters, number of spray holes, total spray area, and throat diameter are conducted. The shock wave structure inside the gas–steam ejection device is examined. The simulation results show that, instead of the spray hole diameter and number, the total spray area and secondary nozzle throat diameter are the key factors that affect the flow field and internal trajectory of the gas–steam ejection device. Under the existing spray structure, the maximum number of spray holes is 300 to achieve the stability of the flow field and internal ballistic trajectory of gas–steam ejection devices. By comparing the throat diameters of multiple secondary nozzles, it was found that the minimum throat diameter of the secondary nozzles should be no less than 100 mm. The results could be valuable for the design of gas–steam ejection devices.
Marine submersible buoy systems are widely-used equipment for ocean resource development. The marine submersible buoy system studied in this paper consists of the submersible buoy, the battery compartment, the anchor block, the mooring line, and the power supply cable. To study the mechanical behavior and obtain the speed variation of each component during the anchor last deployment, this paper establishes the free surface computational fluid dynamics model of marine submersible buoy systems based on the VOF method. This model includes the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations, the Renormalization-Group turbulence model, and the fractional areas/volume obstacle representation method. The free fluid surface is tracked using the VOF method. The lumped mass method is used to simulate the mooring line and power supply cable. The results showed that the tension forces increase when the mooring lines were straightened. Subsequently, the tension forces gradually decrease with oscillations. After the anchor block sinks to the sea floor, the positive buoyancy of the battery compartment and the buoy will cause large tension on the mooring line and power supply cable.
