Abstract:
This paper reports 2 experiments that examine the influence of matric suction on radicle elongation in Pinus caribaea var. hondurensis. Experiment 1 where mechanical impedance of root development was negligible and aeration was not limiting, and experiment 2 in low strength soils where both air-filled porosity and moisture were allowed to vary. In experiment 1, radicles were grown between sheets of Whatman No. 42 filter paper. The known wetting characteristic of this paper was used to prepare known pretrial suctions and define postharvest suctions. The midpoint of the pretrial-postharvest suction range was defined as nominal matric suction. Relationships between radicle elongation and nominal matric suction were developed for 6 P. caribaea var. hondurensis families. As matric suction increased from 0.0065 to 3.13 MPa, radicle elongation after 48 h of growth decreased monotonically to zero. Over the range of matric suctions, there was no critical level, below which radicle elongation was unaffected by increasing suction. It was concluded that radicles were able to sense, and respond to, increasing suction. Significant family x matric suction interactions were observed. In experiment 2, radicles were grown in 2 lowstrength repacked soils. An optimal level of matric suction for radicle elongation was observed in both soils. At suctions below and above the optima, inadequate air-filled porosity and moisture stress respectively adversely impacted upon elongation. The 2 experiments demonstrated that matric suction affects radicle elongation both directly and indirectly through interaction with other physical soil properties. Although increasing suction reduces radicle elongation, there may be a 'non-limiting' range of suctions in soil media over which radical elongation is relatively unaffected due to a concomitant improvement in aeration.

Abstract:
Field suction measurements are especially important for pavements constructed on unsaturated expansive soils. Because these subgrade soils can experience high suction during dry seasons, field sensors that can measure high soil suctions are necessary. In this research, thermal conductivity-based soil suction sensors were evaluated for matric suction measurements at several sites. Laboratory suction measurements with the filter paper method were compared with the field suction measurements with the sensors. Soil water characteristic curves derived from the laboratory and field measurements agreed closely. Volume change measurements using swell and shrinkage tests were conducted separately on the subgrade soils retrieved from the instrumented test sites. The laboratory and field suction data need an adjustment or shift of the time factor to obtain comparable values at high suctions. The influence of total suction on the volumetric swell and shrinkage characteristics of the field subsoils were also addressed.

Abstract:
The performance of “thin membrane surface” (TMS) highways is largely controlled by the strength of the subgrade soil, which in turn is a function of matric suction. Thermal conductivity matric suction sensors were used to indirectly measure in situ matric suctions. In September 2000, 32 thermal conductivity sensors were installed under TMS highways at two locations; namely, Bethune and Torquay, Saskatchewan, Canada, to monitor matric suction and temperature changes with time. This paper presents and interprets the variations in matric suctions measured between the years 2000 and 2005 at the Torquay site. The readings in the field showed a clearly seasonal pattern of matric suction changes that bore a relationship to rainfall near the test sites. Relatively constant equilibrium matric suctions that ranged from 20 to 60 kPa throughout the years were measured under the driving lanes. Conversely, matric suctions under the side slopes were found to vary widely with time and depth, ranging from 100 to 1500 kPa over the years. The greatest variation in matric suction from one location to another location occurred during the month of April. The matric suctions showed low variability during June, whereas larger variations were observed from July to October.

Abstract:
Compression and shear behavior of a loosely compacted loess is investigated via two series of saturated and unsaturated direct shear tests. The vapor transfer mechanism is used to modify a shear box device for control of suction at high range. In spite of significant volumetric strain upon wetting (up to 14%), suction-induced volumetric shrinkage is less than 2% for all suction levels considered because of the as-compacted moisture content at the dry side of the optimum value. During shearing, all unsaturated tests dried to high suctions indicate a strain-softening mode of failure associated with noticeable dilation. There is a continuous increase in peak strength with suction but at a reduced rate, which cannot be captured by the improved Bishop’s effective stress model, as it underestimates the contribution of high suctions by approaching zero degree of saturation. Unsaturated tests at high suctions also show an increased rate of dilation with suction for both values of net stress, which cannot be predicted well by the classical stress–dilatancy models. It is shown that for suction values beyond 8 MPa, dilation angle increases by 2° and 6° per 100 MPa increase of suction under net stress of 50 and 200 kPa, respectively.

Abstract:
A modified triaxial apparatus with mini suction probes was fabricated to study the matric suction along the specimen height during unsaturated triaxial testing. Three mini suction probes were placed at 3/4, 1/2, and 1/4 height of the specimen, each at 120° apart in the lateral direction. This paper presents the development of the mini probe for matric suction measurements. Evaluation of the performance shows that the fabricated mini probe provides a rapid response and accurate reading under negative and positive pore-water pressure changes. Matric suctions as high as 400 kPa were successfully measured on soil specimens over a time span of 15 h. On the other hand, the mini suction probes were also found to be able to measure a matric suction of 200 kPa for a longer period of 155 h.Key words: matric suction, mini suction probe, triaxial, unsaturated soils, mid-height pore-water pressure measurement.

Abstract:
Soil-water characteristic curves (SWCCs) are routinely used for the estimation of unsaturated soil property functions (e.g., permeability functions, water storage functions, shear strength functions, and thermal property functions). This paper examines the possibility of using the SWCC for the estimation of in situ soil suction. The paper focuses on the limitations of estimating soil suctions from the SWCC and also suggests a context under which soil suction estimations should be used. The potential range of estimated suction values is known to be large because of hysteresis between drying and wetting SWCCs. For this, and other reasons, the estimation of in situ suctions from the SWCC has been discouraged. However, a framework is suggested in this paper for estimating the median value for in situ soil suction along with a likely range of soil suction values (i.e., maximum and minimum values). The percentage error in the estimation of soil suction from the SWCC is shown to be lowest for sand soils and highest for clay soils.

Abstract:
The drying suction – water content soil-water characteristic curves (SWCCs) of three clays (MX80 bentonite, yellow bentonite, and Speswhite kaolin) were experimentally determined using axis-translation, vapour equilibrium, and osmotic techniques. The shrinkage paths of the clays were established from Clod tests. The suction – water content SWCCs in conjunction with the Clod test results enabled establishing the suction – degree of saturation SWCCs and further determination of the air-entry values (AEVs) of the clays. Chemical analyses of the polyethylene glycol (PEG) solutions in the osmotic tests revealed an imbalance of the osmotic suctions between the expelled and the retained salts on either side of semi-permeable membranes. A decrease in the water content due to an applied suction for clays with significant osmotic efficiencies was explained by two mechanisms. In mechanism 1, the water content decrease prior to the air entry is controlled by the interparticle repulsive pressure, and in mechanism 2, a decrease in the degree of saturation following the air entry is primarily due to the matric suction. The agreements between the AEVs of the clays determined based on the osmotic suctions corresponding to various applied suctions and that determined from the suction – degree of saturation SWCCs were found to be very good.

Abstract:
Unsteady pulsed holed suction as a new unsteady flow control technique is first proposed. Unsteady excitation models of four different waveforms (Waveforms 1, 2, 3, and 4) based on unsteady pulsed holed suction are investigated to analysis comparatively the control effects of flow separations in a certain highly loaded compressor. Some related unsteady aerodynamic parameters such as excitation frequency and excitation location are studies. The unsteady pulsed holed suctions of the four different modes (Waveforms 1, 2, 3, and 4) all effectively control flow separations. Their optimum frequencies are all an integer multiple of the natural frequency of vortex shedding. And their excitation locations gaining positive effect and optimal excitation locations are both same. The optimal excitation location is near the separation point of upper endwall in unexcited case. But, they show markedly different performances in reducing the total pressure losses. The unsteady pulsed holed suction of Waveform 3 shows greater advantage at different excitation frequencies and excitation locations. The optimum result is obtained by the unsteady pulsed holed suction of Waveform 3. The total pressure loss is reduced by 16.8%. Simultaneously, the unsteady pulsed holed suctions of the four different modes all can provide better effects than the steady constant holed suction in reducing the total pressure loss with the same suction-to-inlet time-averaged suction flow ratio ms. Especially at ms = 0.29%, for the steady constant holed suction, it is too small to effectively control flow separation, and consequently the total pressure loss are increased by 8.3%. However, for the unsteady pulsed holed suctions of Waveforms 2 and 3, the total pressure losses are reduced by 9.1% and 4.3%, respectively.

Abstract:
Abstract The separated flow at low Reynolds number around the NACA0012 airfoil is numerically studied by large-eddy simulation. Strategies of boundary layer suction to control flow separation are investigated. A method of using two-zone suctions, near the leading edge and near the trailing edge, are calculated. Based on verification with direct numerical simulation (DNS) and experimental data, the results of the lift and the drag, the vortices, and the strength of near-field pressure fluctuations, are checked. The results show that the two-zone suctions can supress flow transition and separation, thereby increase the lift and reduce the drag. The shedding of vortices is weakened, and the near-field pressure fluctuations are attenuated. For comparison with the two-zone suctions, the strategies of suction near the leading edge only and suction near the trailing edge only are also studied. It is found that suction near the leading edge only may suppress transition and delay separation when the suction zone is large enough, but the flow property deteriorates due to shedding vortices in the wake. The suction near the trailing edge only may improve the flow performance by reducing the size of the vortices in the rear section of the airfoil and in the wake region, but it has little effect on the separation bubble and transition.

Full text
Abstract:
In previous studies on suction box dewatering, three mechanisms were identified that determine the dry content of a web, viz. web compression, displacement of water by air and rewetting. In the present work, the relative importance of the three mechanisms was investigated through direct measurement of the web deformation, the dry content changes during and after the suction pulse, the air flow through the fibre network and the saturation of the web after the suction pulse. Suction pressure, suction time and rewetting time were varied. The experiments were done with chemical and mechanical pulp webs of various grammages. It was found that a large web deformation took place during the suction pulse, particularly at its beginning. Compression dewatering was found to be the most dominant dewatering mechanism. Displacement dewatering started after most of the web compression had occurred. Its contribution to the increase in dry content was most pronounced for higher suction pressures, longer suction times and for chemical pulp webs. A surprisingly large expansion of the web was observed immediately after the suction pulse. This expansion was the effect of rewetting. This rewetting strongly reduced the dry content of the web if the web had not been immediately separated from the forming fabric at the end of the suction pulse. Under the conditions studied, the decrease in dry content amounted to the order of 3 to 6 %. Rewetting was smaller for longer suction times and higher suction pressures. A considerable air flow through the web occurred under these conditions. This air flow apparently moved water from the forming fabric into the suction box, thus making less water available for rewetting. Rewetting for mechanical pulp webs was more pronounced and took place faster than for chemical pulps. The use of a membrane on top of the web during suction box dewatering proved to be advantageous for reducing the air flow through the web. However, under the conditions investigated, the dry content could not be improved. Although the web compression was increased when using a membrane, especially at a higher suction pressure, rewetting after the suction pulse had an even larger negative impact on the dry content, which, as a result, was lower.

Abstract:
Consolidation settlement analysis is an essential part of the design process for suction caissons. However it is a complex task since soil volume important for settlement analyses is directly affected by the installation process. Consolidation settlements have been found to be the critical design criterion in several subsea developments, adequate and correct analysis is therefore vital. The FEM code PLAXIS has been used to evaluate the reconsolidation process after completed installation of the suction caisson. Emphasize has been placed on studying the shear strength increase with time along the skirt walls. During consolidation dissipation of excess pore pressures result in higher effective stresses. Consequently the modeled undrained shear strength increases. However the increase is small compared to the expected increase in shear strength due to the set-up phenomenon. To account for the deviation an adjusted simulation procedure incorporating incremental increase of friction angle in the interface zones has been suggested. The results were found to be reasonable with respect to final consolidation settlements and development of mobilized shear strength with time.Adequate modeling of the changes in the interface zones adjacent to the caisson walls during consolidation is vital for correct prediction of long term settlements. Modeled undrained shear strength with time have huge impact on the analysis results due to different mobilization of the surrounding soil. Appropriate evaluation of soil structure interaction is essential to assess the reliability of the analysis. Taking into account changes of the soil volume important for settlement analysis is also vital. A simple physical model test has been performed. Due to delays and relatively short test period the results were inconclusive. However the importance of considering short term set-up effects has been underlined by recorded resistance and physical observations in the field.

Abstract:
Suction caissons are a foundation system for offshore structures which offer a number of advantages over traditional piled foundations. In particular, due to the method of installation used, they are well suited for deep-water applications. The suction caisson consists of an open ended cylindrical shell, which is installed below the seabed in a sequence which consists of two loading phases. The caisson is first installed part way under self weight, with the installation being completed by lowering the pressure within the cylinder and thus allowing the ambient water pressure to force the caisson into the ground. This thesis examines a number of structural issues which result from the form of the caisson — essentially a thin walled cylinder — and the interaction of the caisson with the surrounding soil during installation. To do this, variational analysis and nonlinear finite element analysis are employed to examine the buckling and collapse behaviour of these cylinders. In particular, two issues are considered; the influence of the open end, and the interaction between the cylinder and soil on the buckling and collapse loads. First, the behaviour of open ended cylinders is considered, where the boundary condition at the open end is allowed to vary continuously from completely free to pinned, by the use of a variable lateral spring. This lateral spring restraint may be considered to represent the intermediate restraint provided by a ring stiffener which is not fully effective. The effect of various combinations of boundary conditions is accounted for by the use of a multiplier on the lower bound to the buckling load of a cylinder with classical supports. The variable spring at the open end may also be considered to be an initial, simple representation of the effect of soil restraint on the buckling load. More complex representations of the soil restraint are also considered. A nondimensional factor is proposed to account for the influence of this spring on the buckling load. One combination of boundary conditions, where the upper end of the caisson is pinned, and the lower end free (referred to as a PF boundary condition), is found to have buckling and collapse behaviour which is unusual for cylindrical shells. Buckling loads for such shells are much lower than would be found for cylinders with more typical boundary conditions, and of similar dimensions. More unusually however, PF cylinders are shown to have positive postbuckling strength. The behaviour is found to be a result of the large flexibility which results from the low restraint provided by the PF boundary conditions. This is shown by continuously decreasing the flexibility of the cylinder, by increasing the axial restraint at the pinned end. It is shown that this results in a large increase in buckling load, and a return to more usual levels of imperfection sensitivity. In particular, with an intermediate level of axial restraint, buckling loads and imperfection sensitivity are intermediate between those of PF shells with no, and with full, axial restraint. Overall however, collapse loads for PF cylinders with no additional restraint are well below those of cylinders with stiffer boundary conditions, for equal geometries. Eigenvalue buckling of cylinders fully and partially embedded in an elastic material are examined, and two analytical solutions are proposed. One of these is an extension of a method previously proposed by Seide (1962), for core filled cylinders, to pin ended cylinders which have support from both a core and a surrounding material. The second method represents the elastic support as a two parameter foundation. While more approximate than the first method, this method allows for the examination of a wider range of boundary conditions, and of partial embedment. It is found that the buckling load of the shell/soil system decreases as the embedment ratio decreases. Collapse of fully and partially embedded cylinders is also examined, using nonlinear finite element analysis. The influence of plasticity in the soil is also considered. For cylinders with small imperfections, it is found that the collapse load shows a large increase over that of the same cylinder with no soil support. However, as the size of initial geometric imperfections increases, it is found that the collapse load rapidly approaches that of the unsupported cylinder. In particular, in weak soils the gain in strength over the unsupported shell may be minimal. The exception to this is again PF cylinders. As these have relatively low collapse loads, even very weak soils are able to offer an increase in collapse load over the unsupported case. Finally, a summary of these results is provided in the form of guidance for design of such structures.

Leaking in water pipe is a critical issue in Middle Eastern countries such as Kuwait where water is scarce. In-pipe robots can be dispatched to discover the network and inspect the inner surface of the pipe. This thesis describes the design and characterization of suction pads for in-pipe robots. The suction cups are made of hyperelastic materials that contain air channels inside. Instead of using conventional suction technique that is prone to leaking and loosing adhesion force, the suction cup is actuated by compressed air or liquid, which deforms the geometry of the cup to achieve suction. In order to verify the geometry changes during actuation, a uniaxial tension test was done on the elastic material used to acquire the material properties and the suction cup designs were then simulated using FEA in ABAQUS. Next, prototypes were designed in SolidWorks and fabricated using soft lithography techniques. To measure the suction force, pressure measurements were taken both inside the prototype channels and underneath the suction cup. Results show that a Positive Pressure Actuated Suction-cup (PPAS) of diameter forty millimeters can achieve suction force up to 68 N. As more air is inserted into PPAS, the suction force also increases. The concept has proved to be a feasible solution for pipe inspection robot.

Abstract:
Boundary layer suction is used in turbomachinery to control flow separation to enhance the loading capacity of a compressor. This paper focuses on both numerical calculation and experimental investigation with boundary layer suction holes made in the suction surface of a compressor cascade with a large camber angle. Experimental and numerical investigations are carried out with suction holes in different positions. In the experimental investigation, exit aerodynamic parameters are measured using a five-hole aerodynamic probe, and ink-trace flow visualization is adopted on cascade surface. Experimental and numerical results indicate that both side and middle suctions on the suction surface can efficiently remove low-energy fluid to increase the cascade load capacity while they effectively restrain the corner flow separation. The cascade aerodynamic performance is obviously improved by middle and side suctions, and it is also significantly altered by the position of suction changes. The middle suction holes have their best positions at about 60–66% chord length from the leading edge, and the side suction holes have their best positions a little downstream the corner separation line.

Abstract:
Small-scale field tests on a monopod suction pile with and without the detachable penetration apparatus (DPA) and tripod suction buckets have been performed. One of the objectives of the field tests was to identify the capability of the DPA at small-scale and to obtain useful information for planned future full-scale field tests. The DPA which has been developed to control and increase the accuracy of the verticality of monopod suction piles during installation. In addition, it can also contribute to increase the penetration force under certain conditions. Included in this paper are the details of the small-scale field tests, including the site conditions, suction pile details, DPA details, installation, instrumentation equipment, and test results. Results indicate that the tripod suction buckets have a significant advantage over the monopod suction pile for verticality control and that the newly developed DPA is fully capable of enhancing the verticality control of the monopod suction pile during installation.

Abstract:
Abstract This study introduces a large offshore cofferdam installed by suction, unlike conventional ones such as a sheet-pile type, and proposes an effective suction cap for the cofferdam. In structural design view of the cofferdam, there are several critical issues due to its large size. This study conducted structural analyses of stiffened caps for large offshore suction cofferdam using fully nonlinear finite element models, and analyzed changes in behaviors of the cap due to stiffener arrangements to provide design insights. For finite element models, the diameter and the thickness of the suction cap (circular plate only) are 20m and 0.07m, respectively. Suction pressure on the cap was assumed to be 100kPa, all parts of the cofferdam except the cap are considered as boundary conditions. By investigating conventional suction anchors, several stiffener arrangement patterns on the cap of suction cofferdam were derived, and each arrangement was estimated by comparing stress and deformation of the cap. Also, reaction distributions on the edge of the cap were investigated to analyze effects of the stiffener arrangement on the interface behaviors between cap and cofferdam.

Full text
Abstract:
Pump suction piping testing was performed to measure the influence on pump performance and mechanical operation, and also provide a benchmark for comparing, verifying and improving CFD modeling techniques. Testing was performed in Sulzer's pump test laboratory, in Winterthur Switzerland, using a single stage double suction model pump a with similar specific speed and design as used in many crude oil pipeline installations. Testing included a baseline test with a straight pipe with a flow straightener at the pump suction and two arrangements with pipe elbows directly at the pump suction. All tests were performed with mineral oil at viscosities ranging from 90 to 500 cSt. Pump performance as well as several static and dynamic measurements were taken, including static pressure measurements along the suction pipe, dynamic pressure measurements at the pump suction and discharge, pump axial thrust and displacements and pump torque. The tests with elbows at the pump suction are compared to the baseline test results. This work will benefit the liquids pipeline station designers and operators and also CFD analysts by providing actual tested comparisons and benchmark measurements.

Full text
Abstract:
CFD simulations of pump suction piping coupled to a double suction volute pump were performed with oil at a viscosity of ~90 cSt. Two variants of the suction piping were modeled in order to investigate their effect on the pump performance. Measurement data obtained during PRCI project CPR-15A were used to validate the CFD setup. The CFD results were mostly in line with the measurements, in particular performance and pressure tap values in the suction piping. The pump rotor forces predicted by CFD however showed significant differences to the measured values. The CFD setup presented in this report provides a basis framework for further CFD investigations. This work will benefit the liquids pipeline station designers and operators and also CFD analysts by providing CFD comparisons to benchmark measurements.
