Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of signal processing, and in particular relates to a method for analyzing geometric characteristics of a line spectrum of hydrodynamic noise of a quasi-cylindrical shell. Background Art

[0002] When a quasi-cylindrical shell passes through a water medium, a turbulent boundary layer is formed on its surface. The unstable flow is blocked by the shell surface, and the momentum fluctuations near the wall are balanced by the pressure fluctuations on the interface. The pressure fluctuations in the boundary layer serve as a random excitation source to generate hydrodynamic noise. The hydrodynamic noise is caused by the disturbance in the surrounding turbulent boundary layer generated when the quasi-cylindrical shell passes through a water medium, the pulsating pressure on the wall, and the structural vibration caused by the coupling of the fluid and the solid. Generally speaking, the value of hydrodynamic noise is much lower than that of mechanical noise and propeller noise, but as the speed of movement increases, the proportion of hydrodynamic noise in the total noise will increase.

[0003] At present, there are three main numerical calculation methods for hydrodynamic noise: theoretical analysis, numerical prediction and experimental methods. Theoretical analysis has rigorous mathematical and physical derivation formulas, but it is limited to shell models with simple geometric shapes and requires the actual model to be simplified. Theoretical methods are limited in dealing with actual engineering problems. Summary of the invention

[0004] Purpose of the invention: In view of the problems and shortcomings of the above-mentioned existing methods, the present invention provides a method for analyzing the geometric characteristics of the hydrodynamic noise line spectrum of a quasi-cylindrical shell.

[0030] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, a method for analyzing geometric characteristics of a line spectrum of hydrodynamic noise of a quasi-cylindrical shell of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0032] (1) The dimensional parameters of the quasi-cylindrical shell are set as follows: the thickness of the quasi-cylindrical shell h = 0.027m, the radius r = 0.533m, the length of the front frustum L = 0.2132m, the length of the quasi-cylindrical shell L = 4.867883m, and the experimental propeller T1 is used as the propeller, with a diameter of 0.2482m and a four-blade large side-skew propeller. The CFD calculation grid and the finite element surface grid of the shell are divided using Gambit software;

[0033] (2) In Fluent, steady-state flow field calculation is first performed, and then unsteady-state flow field calculation is performed. The iteration step of unsteady-state calculation is 0.000462963s, the ambient pressure is 113kPa, the rotation speed is 30r / s, and the wall pressure pulsation data is exported in .cgns format file;

[0034] (3) Import the mesh of the shell finite element surface divided by Gambit into ICEM for mesh data format conversion into .bdf format;

[0035] (4) Import the mesh format .bdf into Nastran to set the shell material properties. Set the shell material properties to steel and the cylindrical shell density ρ p =7800kg / m3, Poisson's ratio σ=0.3, Young's modulus E=2.1×1011, and the free mode .op2 format file is calculated;

[0036] (5) Import the free steady-state .op2 format file of Nastran and the shell wall pressure pulsation pressure data .cgns format file exported by Fluent into the VA ONE software to set up the numerical model of hydrodynamic radiation noise;

[0037] (6) Add the turbulent boundary layer load to the surface of the finite element model of the cylindrical shell, the speed of sound in water C0 = 1500 m / s, the seawater density ρ0 = 1000 kg / m3, and set the turbulent boundary layer type;

[0038] (7) Establish a data recovery surface, set it as a boundary element model, set sensors on the data recovery surface, establish a spherical data recovery surface with a length of 2.5 m with the center of the propeller as the origin, and set 8 sensors on the data recovery surface as receivers for hydrophone testing of cylindrical shell hydrodynamic noise. The numerical calculation model and the spatial distribution diagram of the test points are shown in Figure 2. Figure 2 and Figure 3 With the above settings, VA ONE software solves the sound pressure frequency response diagram at the sensor location, as shown in Figure 4 shown.

[0039] (8) Analyze the line spectrum characteristics of the sound pressure frequency response of hydrodynamic noise of cylindrical shells of different length sizes.

[0040] The length parameters of the quasi-cylindrical shell are set to 5m, 5.5m, 5.98533m, 6.5m, 7.0m, 7.5m, 7.8m and 8.2m respectively. According to steps 1-7, the sound pressure frequency responses of the 8 sensor positions corresponding to the different quasi-cylindrical shell length parameters are obtained respectively, as shown in order. Figure 5 As shown in (a)-5(h), the strongest line spectrum frequency in the sound pressure frequency response diagram of different length parameters is found. As shown in Table 1, as the length of the line spectrum increases, the frequency of the corresponding line spectrum decreases.
