Embodiment Construction

[0047] The present invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with accompanying drawing:

[0048] A numerical calculation method for the propulsion performance of a bionic undulating fin, comprising the following steps:

[0049] Step 1), establish the simulation calculation physical model of the bionic wave fin to be calculated:

[0050]The simulation calculation physical model includes the fish body, the left undulating fin and the right undulating fin, and the fins on both sides are not connected to the fish body. The fish body is the main part, which is simplified into a streamlined rigid body in the calculation model; the fins on the left and right sides are long strips with a size of 0.4m×0.15m×0.005m, and are simulated by simulating the fluctuating fins of the black manta ray. Movement, thereby generating forward thrust; Bionic fluctuating fin refers to an underwater bionic propeller designed to imitate the movement mechanism of the natural black mant...

Abstract

The invention discloses a numerical calculation method for the propulsion performance of a bionic fluctuating fin. According to the principle of bionics, a relevant physical model is established to determine the range of the external flow field and the type of boundary conditions of the bionic propeller. Two grid division techniques are adopted to improve the calculation efficiency. Accuracy, establish a rough grid and initialize the motion of the fluctuating fins, and then divide the fine grid based on the model after the initialization is completed, and use the dynamic grid method for simulation calculation; the numerical method proposed by the present invention is based on two sets of coarse and fine grids, which can be more Precisely control the initial state of the propeller, improve the accuracy of the simulation results, and obtain the pressure distribution law of the undulating fin surface within a period, the evolution law of the flow field with the undulating fin motion, and the change law between the undulating fin thrust and the undulating frequency, effectively predicting The propulsion performance of the bionic thruster is clarified, and the theoretical foundation is laid for the structural design optimization and motion control of the bionic thruster.
