Problems solved by technology

Because the wave glider is composed of two parts, the underwater tractor and the surface mother ship, the trailer equipment cannot provide the heave force and movement effect of the mother ship on the underwater glider during the hydrodynamic performance test of the underwater tractor, and cannot simulate the relationship between the surface mother ship and the water surface. The interaction between the lower tractors; at the same time, due to the scale of the wave glider, the water tank test cannot eliminate the interference of the water surface waves and the surface mother ship on the underwater part of the test
Moreover, the movement speed of the wave glider varies greatly, and it cannot be accurately positioned in the water tank and pool

Embodiment 1

[0039] like figure 1 As shown, the test device required in this test method includes a vertical excitation trolley, an underwater tractor model 4, a traction line 5 and a water tank 6; the vertical excitation trolley includes a trailer carrier 1, a heave excitation control device 2 and a sheave 3; like figure 2 As shown, the underwater tractor model 4 used in this test method includes a body 41 , elastic hydrofoils 42 and springs 43 .

[0048]The spring 43 studied in this test method is installed between the body 41 and the elastic hydrofoil 42, and after the installation of the spring 43, the body 41 is kept horizontal in the water, and the elastic hydrofoil 42 is kept horizontal under the action of the spring 43. After the installation is completed, use the similarity law to calculate the amplitude of the underwater tractor model 4 in the test corresponding to the wave height of the real sea state, and obtain the corresponding rotation angle of the power shaft from the above-mentioned amplitude calculation method. The amplitude of the underwater tractor model 4 must be set to meet the test requirements, and the amplitude of the underwater tractor model 4 must be smaller than the depth of the underwater tractor model 4 immersed in the water, so as to ensure that the heave excitation control device 2 is on the underwater tractor model 4. The whole process of providing heave excitation, the underwater tractor m...

Embodiment 3

[0050] When the heave excitation control device 2 applies heave excitation to the underwater tractor model 4, the vertical excitation trolley will move forward, because the edge surface of the water tank 6 for the vertical excitation trolley to slide is not completely flat, and the length of one grid of the water tank 6 is only Therefore, the time required for the car to pass through the three grids is measured, and its average speed is calculated to characterize the elastic hydrofoil performance of the wave glider. At this time, the average time required for the vertical excitation car to pass through the 3-grid water tank is recorded, and the movement speed of the vertical excitation car under the specific stiffness coefficient of the spring 43 and the specific amplitude of the underwater tractor model 4 is calculated to represent the Movement performance of a wave glider. Using the control variable method, the springs 43 with different stiffness coefficients are replaced, o...

Abstract

The invention discloses a test method for the optimal spring stiffness coefficient of the elastic hydrofoil of a wave glider. The test device is composed of a vertical excitation trolley, an underwater tractor model of the wave glider, a traction line and a water tank, and the vertical excitation trolley is used to replace the wave glider. The surface mother ship applies heave excitation to the underwater tractor model, which eliminates the influence of surface waves on the underwater tractor due to the size limitation of the test device. By comparing the average moving speed of the vertically excited car, the control variable method is used to study the wave The optimal spring stiffness coefficient of the glider under the specified working environment. The method is simple and easy to implement, can more accurately and truly simulate the wave glider, has high precision, and is convenient for positioning.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of ships and marine engineering, in particular to a test method for the optimal spring stiffness coefficient of an elastic hydrofoil of a wave glider. Background technique [0002] At present, the hydrodynamic performance test of ships and marine engineering structures mainly relies on pools and tanks. The current pool and tank test equipment can meet the hydrodynamic test requirements of traditional ships and marine engineering structures. Vehicles, such as wave gliders, are not able to meet their test requirements. [0003] The sailing speed of the wave glider is mainly determined by the motion performance of the underwater part. The underwater performance of the wave glider is not only related to the forbidden angle, but also related to the stiffness coefficient of the spring on the elastic hydrofoil, and is also affected by the actual sea conditions. Because the wave glider is composed of an underwater tractor a...
