Fluid Flow And Particle Motion Behaviors During Seabed Nodule Pickup: An Experimental Study
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF OFFSHORE AND POLAR ENGINEERING(2021)
摘要
In this study, two nodule pickup device models were designed and tested, based on the suction effect and Coanda effect. The collection flow fields were measured using a particle image velocimetry system. The nodule motions were captured utilizing the visual object tracking method based on the open-source computer vision library OpenCV. Similarities and differences between the suction effect-based and Coanda effect-based hydraulic-type collection methods are revealed. The results show that the Coanda effect-based model requires a smaller flow rate but causes a larger flow field disturbance to achieve a comparable nodule collection rate. This study aims to provide a clearer understanding of the hydraulic collection mechanism and to aid in optimizing the design of nodule pickup devices.
