- ItemAnálise numérica da propagação de ondas na costa do Rio Grande do Sul entre Torres e Mostardas(2008) Silva, Jair Vignolle da; Teixeira, Paulo Roberto de Freitas; Calliari, Lauro JúlioO objetivo deste trabalho é o analisar numericamente a variação de energia de ondas nesta região, investigando a influência das variações da largura da plataforma interna e da largura de antepraia, e da fricção com o fundo nos processos morfodinâmicos costeiros, usa-se como ferramenta de processamento o programa REF/DIF1 (Kirby e Darlymple, 1994). Os resultados considerando um coeficiente de atrito fw.=.0,01, usado no código do REF/DIF1, foram comparados com os obtidos sem a presença do atrito, observando-se pouca influência do atrito com o fundo sobre a transformação das ondas. Adotando-se um coeficiente de atrito de fw.=.0,2, constatou-se, de forma geral, que a influência do aumento da largura da antepraia do sul de Pinhal para o norte no atrito com o fundo é compensada pela influência da diminuição da largura da plataforma continental interna.
- ItemSimulação numérica de um dispositivo de aproveitamento da energia das ondas do tipo coluna de água oscilante: comparação de dois códigos numéricos(2010) Conde, José Manuel Paixão; Teixeira, Paulo Roberto de Freitas; Didier, Eric LionelNeste artigo apresentam-se os resultados da aplicação de dois códigos numéricos na simulação de um dispositivo de aproveitamento da energia das ondas do tipo coluna de água oscilante. Um dos códigos (FLUINCO) é baseado na técnica dos elementos finitos e o outro (FLUENT) na técnica dos volumes finitos. O objectivo do trabalho consiste na validação destes códigos para este tipo de escoamento, com o intuito de os aplicar de forma sistemática no projecto de sistemas de aproveitamento de energia das ondas. O caso simulado, que corresponde a um modelo simplificado testado experimentalmente, permitiu concluir da boa qualidade dos resultados obtidos, existindo uma boa correspondência entre os resultados experimentais e os obtidos pelos códigos numéricos.
- ItemApplicability of the gaussian distribution heat source model to the thermal simulation of welding processes(2013) Araújo, Douglas Bezerra de; Teixeira, Paulo Roberto de Freitas; Cunda, Luiz Antonio Bragança daWelding processes are considered a thermal-mechanical-metallurgical coupled issue. The most important boundary condition in the thermal analysis is the heat source model. Although many studies have been carried out to propose different types of heat source models, the limitations of each model application have not been clearly specified. The Gaussian heat source is a model in which heat is generated over a surface; therefore, it may not be suitable to be applied to thick plates. In this study, the accuracy of the Gaussian heat source model is investigated in bead-on-plate welding by the TIG process. Analyses are performed by the ANSYS® software, considering the convection and the radiation phenomena. Several cases with different parameters of heat distribution, heat input and plate thickness have had their weld pool geometries analyzed and compared with those obtained experimentally. Analyses of the influence of the radial distance from the center of the Gaussian heat source and the thickness of the plate on the bead width and the penetrated depth of the fusion zone boundary are presented. Results have shown the adequacy and the limitations of the Gaussian heat source model in the welding simulation.
- ItemEstudo de metodologias para análise numérica do campo de temperatura no processo de soldagem MIG em chapas de aço inoxidável AISI 304L(2014) Farias, Rodrigo Martins; Teixeira, Paulo Roberto de Freitas; Araújo, Douglas Bezerra deOs processos de soldagem em chapas envolvem fenômenos físicos e químicos muito complexos e, por isso, difíceis de serem modelados matematicamente. Embora os efeitos termo-mecânico-metalúrgico acoplados sejam importantes, na maioria dos casos são encontrados bons resultados considerando modelos numéricos baseados nas equações da transferência de calor e nas que governam o comportamento estrutural das chapas. De modo geral, o campo térmico é independente do estrutural, permitindo que as soluções sejam realizadas em sequência (térmicoestrutural), sem necessidade de acoplamento. As análises mais adequadas dos processos de soldagem com deposição de material usam a técnica denominada de “element birth and death”, a qual considera a ativação dos elementos pertencentes ao cordão de uma malha de elementos finitos a medida que a fonte de calor se movimenta. Neste trabalho, são apresentadas análises numéricas de soldagem de topo multipasse, com chanfro em V, de chapas de aço inoxidável AISI 304L através do processo MIG convencional. As chapas possuem 9,6 mm de espessura, 200 mm de comprimento e 50 mm de largura. As simulações numéricas são realizadas no software Ansys Multiphysics®, considerando os fenômenos de convecção e radiação, e propriedades térmicas do material (condutividade térmica, calor específico e massa específica) como dependentes da temperatura. A fonte de calor móvel é do tipo Gaussiana. Os formatos da poça de fusão, obtidos dos experimentos desenvolvidos no Laboratório de Pesquisa em Engenharia da Soldagem (LAPES – FURG) são comparados com os resultados das simulações numéricas. Um dos inconvenientes na aplicação da técnica element birth and death é o fato de que os elementos pertencentes aos passes intermediários têm suas fronteiras vizinhas aos elementos dos outros passes, sendo impedidos, dessa forma, de contemplar os efeitos de radiação. Assim, comparou-se os resultados de dois códigos: o primeiro que adota o método clássico, onde ocorre o impedimento de radiação para os elementos pertencentes aos passes intermediários, e outro que considera os efeitos de radiação no processo. Observou-se diferenças nos resultados pelo uso dos dois algoritmos, concluindo-se que os efeitos de radiação são muito importantes na região de deposição de material.
- ItemSimulação numérica da ação de ondas sobre um dispositivo de captação de energias das ondas do tipo coluna de água oscilante(2011) Davyt, Djavan Perez; Teixeira, Paulo Roberto de Freitas; Ramalhais, Rúben dos Santos; Didier, Eric LionelNeste trabalho é analisado um dispositivo de extração de energia das ondas do tipo coluna de água oscilante sob a ação de ondas regulares de diferentes períodos. São realizadas variações no comprimento submerso da parede frontal e no comprimento da câmara. Para tal é utilizado o código numérico FLUINCO, o qual é baseado nas equações RANS e a discretização é realizada utilizando o método semi-implícito de Taylor-Galerkin de dois passos. Uma formulação lagrangeana-euleriana arbitrária (ALE) é utilizada para permitir a solução de problemas que envolvem movimentos da superfície livre. Alguns resultados são comparados com os obtidos utilizando o programa FLUENT. São apresentados a amplificação (relação entre a altura da onda incidente a e dentro da câmara), distribuição das velocidades e vetores de velocidade.
- ItemNumerical simulation of an oscillating water column device using a code based on Navier-Stokes equations(2013) Teixeira, Paulo Roberto de Freitas; Davyt, Djavan Perez; Didier, Eric Lionel; Ramalhais, Rúben dos SantosThe study of ways of converting ocean wave energy into a useful one and the improvement of the existing equipment are complex engineering problems and very important issues in today’s society. In this paper, the onshore oscillating water column device, in a 10 m deep channel subjected to 1 m high incident wave and wave periods from 4 s to 15 s, is investigated. The numerical analyses are carried out using Fluinco model that deals with incompressible flow problems based on the Navier-Stokes equations and employs the two-step semi-implicit Taylor-Galerkin method. An aerodynamic model is implemented in the algorithm to determine the air pressure that is imposed on the free surface. Analyses are divided into two sections. In the first section, the flow variables obtained by Fluinco and the commercial model Fluent are compared and similar results are obtained. In the second section, an investigation of the chamber geometry and turbine characteristic relation that provide the best device performance is carried out. In this case, variations in the front wall depth, the chamber length, the turbine characteristic relation and the chamber height, are made.
- ItemNumerical analysis of regular waves over an onshore oscillating water column(2010) Davyt, Djavan Perez; Teixeira, Paulo Roberto de Freitas; Ramalhais, Rúben dos Santos; Didier, Eric LionelThe potential of wave energy along coastal areas is a particularly attractive option in regions of high latitude, such as the coasts of northern Europe, North America, New Zealand, Chile and Argentina where high densities of annual average wave energy are found (typically between 40 and 100 kW/m of wave front). Power estimated in the south of Brazil is 30kW/m, creating a possible alternative of source energy in the region. There are many types and designs of equipment to capture energy from waves under analysis, such as the oscillating water column type (OWC) which has been one of the first to be developed and installed at sea. Despite being one of the most analyzed wave energy converter devices, there are few case studies using numerical simulation. In this context, the numerical analysis of regular waves over an onshore OWC is the main objective of this paper. The numerical models FLUINCO and FLUENT® are used for achieving this goal. The FLUINCO model is based on RANS equations which are discretized using the two-step semi-implicit Taylor-Galerkin method. An arbitrary lagrangean eulerian formulation is used to enable the solution of problems involving free surface movements. The FLUENT® code (version 6.3.26) is based on the finite volume method to solve RANS equations. Volume of Fluid method (VOF) is used for modeling free surface flows. Time integration is achieved by a second order implicit scheme, momentum equations are discretized using MUSCL scheme and HRIC (High Resolution Interface Capturing) scheme is used for convective term of VOF transport equation. The case study consists of a 10.m deep channel with a 10 m wide chamber at its end. One meter high waves with different periods are simulated. Comparisons between FLUINCO and FLUENT results are presented. Free surface elevation inside the chamber; velocity distribution and streamlines; amplification factor (relation between wave height inside the chamber and incident wave height); phase angle (angular difference between the wave inside and outside the chamber); and sloshing parameter to quantify it inside the chamber are analised. Finally, a discussion of the potential and limitations of each numerical model as well as the behaviour of the onshore OWC device is presented.

- ItemNumerical analyses of wave propagation over the inner shelf and shoreface of the southern brazilian coast: from Torres to Mostardas(2014) Silva, Jair Vignolle da; Teixeira, Paulo Roberto de Freitas; Calliari, Lauro JúlioThe shoreface and the inner shelf along the northern and the central coast of Rio Grande do Sul (RS) state, Brazil, between Torres and Mostardas, although displaying a homogeneous bottom relief show variations in slope and width. In the northern sector, between Torres and Pinhal, the inner shelf is wide, while the shoreface is narrow. Towards the south, these patterns are just the opposite. In this study, a model based on the parabolic approximation of the mild slope equation, REF/DIF.1, is used to simulate the wave propagation in this region. Wave refraction diagrams based on the predominant wave climate show a dominant and invariable divergent pattern for wave incidence from 90° to 135°. Numerical analyses of changes in wave energy, regarding differences in width and slope using a bottom friction coefficient fw = 0.01 in the different coastal sectors, show little influence of the bottom friction over the wave transformation processes. In general, a friction coefficient fw = 0.2 shows that wave energy reduction due to bottom friction over the wider shoreface south of Pinhal by comparison with the sector to the north is compensated by its shorter inner shelf width. The analyses show that lateral gradients of wave energy along the 10 m isobaths regarding the morphological differences between the two sectors are negligible.
- ItemNumerical study on the effect of submerged depth on the horizontal plate wave energy converter(2014) Seibt, Flávio Medeiros; Couto, Eduardo Costa; Santos, Elizaldo Domingues dos; Isoldi, Liércio André; Rocha, Luiz Alberto Oliveira; Teixeira, Paulo Roberto de FreitasThe growing search for clean and renewable energy sources has given rise to the studies of exploring sea wave energy. This paper is concerned with the numerical evaluation of the main operational principle of a submerged plate employed for the conversion of wave energy into electrical one. The numerical model used to solve the conservation equations of mass, momentum and transport of volume fraction is based on the finite volume method (FVM). In order to tackle with the flow of mixture of air-water and its interaction with the device, the multiphase model volume of fluid (VOF) is employed. The purpose of this study is the evaluation of a numerical model for improvement of the knowledge about the submerged plate wave energy converter, as well as the investigation of the effect of the distance from the plate to the bottom of the sea (H P) on the performance of the converter. The simulations for several distances of the plate from the seabed show that the optimal efficiency is 64%, which is obtained for H P=0.53 m (88% of the depth). This efficiency is 17% larger than that found in the worst case (H P=0.46 m, 77% of the depth).
