Buoyancy and Stability for Submerged and Floating Bodies

2.3K
In fluid mechanics, buoyancy and stability are key concepts for understanding the behavior of submerged and floating bodies. When a stationary body is fully or partially submerged in a fluid, the fluid exerts a force on the body known as the buoyant force. This force acts vertically upward through a point called the center of buoyancy, which is the center of the displaced fluid volume. According to Archimedes' principle, the magnitude of the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid...

Area of Science:

  • Civil Engineering
  • Geomatics Engineering
  • Marine Engineering

Background:

  • Precise control of immersed tunnel elements during submersion is critical for successful tunnel construction.
  • Accurate real-time positioning and attitude determination are essential for navigating large elements to their final underwater locations.
  • Existing methods may lack the required accuracy or real-time capabilities for complex immersion operations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a newly-developed integrated system for real-time positioning and attitude determination of immersed tunnel elements.
  • To evaluate the system's accuracy, particularly considering environmental factors like GNSS multipath and sound speed variations.
  • To demonstrate the system's capability in achieving high-precision positioning for critical underwater construction tasks.

Main Methods:

  • Integration of a 3-antenna Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), an inclinometer, and a range-measurement system.
  • Development of algorithms for real-time data fusion and position/attitude calculation.
  • Analysis of accuracy considering GNSS multipath errors and sound speed profile variations.
  • Performance evaluation through simulations under various operational scenarios.

Main Results:

  • The integrated system provides real-time absolute position and attitude data for both ends of the tunnel element.
  • Simulations indicate high accuracy, exceeding 0.02 m in directions perpendicular and along the tunnel axis when elements are in close proximity.
  • The system's performance is analyzed with respect to critical error sources, including GNSS multipath and sound speed fluctuations.

Conclusions:

  • The developed positioning and attitude determination system offers a viable solution for the precise control required in immersed tunnel construction.
  • The system demonstrates the potential for high-accuracy, real-time guidance, crucial for the safe and efficient immersion of tunnel elements.
  • Further validation with field data is recommended to confirm simulated performance in real-world conditions.
