Abstract

To analyze the hydrodynamic characteristics of light beacons in wind-wave environments and propose an optimization scheme based on stress concentration points, the VOF (volume of fluid) method was used to calculate the pressure distribution on the surface of the light beacon under wave and wind conditions and the resulting deformations. The results indicate that stress concentration occurs at the base of the central support of the light beacon, with the maximum displacement at the top of the light beacon. Two optimization schemes were investigated based on these findings. In the slanted support scheme, stress concentration shifted to the top of the support, reducing by 32.2% compared to before optimization. The maximum deformation was at the base in the middle, a 40.1% reduction compared to before optimization. In the end-strengthened scheme, stress concentrated at the bottom, with a reduction of 0.08% compared to before optimization, while the maximum deformation was at the top of the light beacon, which was reduced by 23.1% compared to before optimization. It is evident that the light beacon structure with slanted supports can effectively reduce stress intensity and disperse the impact of wind and waves on other parts of the light beacon, representing a better structural optimization scheme.
