复杂海况下海底管道溢油行为特性数值模拟研究

Numerical simulation of spreading characteristics of oil spilled behaviour from submarine pipeline under complex sea conditions

  • 摘要: 在波浪、海流及海风共同作用的复杂海况下,溢油事故的发生将会给环境造成巨大的经济损失和环境破坏。本文基于VOF方法对N-S方程、k-ɛ湍流模型进行了三维数值计算,研究复杂海况下的溢油迁移扩散行为。结果表明:波长和海面风速对溢油浮升过程影响较小,主要影响溢油在海面的漂移过程,海流速度主导着溢油在水下的偏移和海面上的漂移运动。当海流速度较大时,溢油达到水面需要更长的时间,水下运动轨迹偏转角度较大,且油滴更为分散;溢油至海面后,在风速较大、波长较长、海流速度较大时,溢油在海面水平漂移距离较远,溢油横向扩散程度较小。本文的研究结果可为溢油事故处理提供参考依据,提高溢油应急行动效率。

     

    Abstract: Oil spill accidents under complex sea conditions, with the joint action of waves, currents, and wind, will cause significant economic losses and environmental damage. In this paper, three-dimensional numerical calculations of the N-S equation and the k-ɛ turbulence model, based on the VOF method, are conducted to study the oil spilled migration and diffusion behavior under complex sea conditions. The results reveal that the buoyancy process of oil spilled is less influenced by the wavelength and wind speed, which mainly affect the oil spilled drift process on the sea surface. The underwater deflection and surface drift motion of oil spilled are primarily dominated by the current speed. When the current speed is greater, it takes more time for the oil spilled to reach the water surface, the deflection angle of the underwater movement trajectory is larger and the oil droplets disperse more. After the oil spilled reaches the sea surface, when the wind and current speed is higher and the wavelength is longer, the oil spilled will drift farther on the sea surface, but the degree of lateral diffusion will be smaller. The results can provide a reference for oil spill accident handling and improve the efficiency of oil spill emergency response actions.
