| Popis: | A new kind of advanced submerged propulsion is automatically modeled and analyzed based on the hydrodynamic and cavitation performance. A mathematical algorithm is proposed to describe the fusion-duct, which is controlled by several design parameters, including section diameters, section lengths, and inlet shape and aspect ratio. The hydrodynamic performances of 13 cases with different parameter combinations are numerically simulated. The simulation is carried out by solving the Reynolds Average Navier-Stokes equations with STAR-CCM+, and the SST k-ω turbulence model is applied. The curves of rotor thrust and torque, stator thrust and duct resistance, along with efficiency and merit coefficient are obtained as functions of the advance coefficient and are compared for different cases. Meanwhile, the pressure distribution on both sides of the rotor and the flow field of intermediate section are systematically analyzed. To guide future designs, an impact factor is further defined and calculated to quantify the effects of different parameters. The results indicate that the section diameters have the most significant influence on hydrodynamic and cavitation performances. |
