Effect of wave action of a two-layer flow on underwater obstacles

Аннотация

A force action caused by the generation of internal waves in the vicinity of a density jump layer in a marine medium and exerted on underwater obstacles streamlined by a two-layer flow has been studied as part of a theoretical model. A horizontal element of an engineering structure, for example, a transport pipeline, which is modeled by a point dipole, is selected as an underwater obstacle. The integral representations for the wave resistance and the lift force are obtained. The characteristic features of variation in the hydrodynamic reactions to the streamlined obstacle, as well as the conditions of their significant intensification are revealed.
