Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of underwater vehicle parameter design, and particularly relates to a design method of a two-stage high-speed axial flow propelling pump suitable for a shallow water working condition. BACKGROUND
[0002] The underwater vehicle is a new type of underwater unmanned platform, which can be applied to underwater execution of submarine war and anti-submarine war, anti-mine war, intelligence collection, target attack and the like, greatly expands the combat space of the surface and underwater combat system, and is an underwater combat equipment developed by major naval countries in the world.
[0003] With the development of military confrontation technology, higher performance requirements such as high speed, long range and strong concealment are put forward for the underwater vehicle. As the mainstream propeller of the underwater vehicle at present, the contra-rotating propeller is mature in technology and high in efficiency, but has the disadvantage that the rotating speed of the contra-rotating propeller is limited by cavitation and erosion phenomenon in the shallow water condition, and cannot meet the high speed thrust requirement in the shallow water.
[0004] The water jet propelling is a special propelling technology developed rapidly in the past three decades. The impeller blades of the axial flow propelling pump in the vehicle rotate at high speed to drive the fluid to work, and the high-speed water flow is formed by the contraction of the guide vane and the flow passage, and is sprayed from the outlet of the flow passage to generate the reaction force to push the vehicle forward. In the high-speed working condition in the shallow water, the water jet propelling has high efficiency and good anti-cavitation performance, and has the characteristics of strong adaptability to variable working conditions, small shallow water effect, simple transmission mechanism and low noise.
[0005] The water jet propelling pump used in the underwater vehicle has the characteristics of high rotating speed, high lift, small flow, large hub ratio and compact structure compared with the water jet propelling pump of the ship. The commonly used axial flow pump design method has many deficiencies when applied in the field of underwater vehicles. In addition, when the underwater vehicle is sailing at high speed near the water surface, the suction surface of the single-stage axial flow pump blade will be cavitated in a large area, resulting in a decrease in the lift and the propelling pump cannot provide sufficient thrust. SUMMARY

[0024]
[0025] NPSH of two-stage axial flow pump a is expressed as:
[0026]
[0027] Step 1.2, the auxiliary impeller of the two-stage high-speed axial flow propeller pump is opposite in rotation direction to the main impeller, the total head is borne by the auxiliary impeller head and the main impeller head, the pre-cavitation head of the main impeller is improved to meet the demand of the auxiliary impeller head, and the auxiliary impeller head distribution and the NPSH of the device are distributed in the head distribution process a are the same,
[0028] The auxiliary impeller head distribution H is expressed as:
[0029] H = NPSH a (7)
[0030] The main impeller head distribution H' is expressed as:
[0031] H' = H z -H (8);
[0032] Step 1.3, the basic calculation equation for designing the impeller by using the lift method is:
[0033]
[0034] In the formula: C L is the lift coefficient of the airfoil in the cascade, l / t is the cascade density, g is the local gravity acceleration, H t is the theoretical head of the main impeller or the auxiliary impeller, ω ∞ is the geometric average speed of the liquid flow relative speed, v m is the axial surface speed in the impeller, u is the circumferential speed, λ is the lift-drag ratio angle of the airfoil, β ∞ is the angle between the direction of the geometric average speed ω ∞ of the liquid flow relative speed and the horizontal direction;

[0051] where v u1 is the tangential component of the absolute velocity at the inlet of the secondary impeller;
[0052] Assuming that the incoming flow at the inlet of the secondary impeller has no pre-whirl, the tangential component of the absolute velocity at the inlet of the secondary impeller v u1 = 0;
[0053] Neglecting the hydraulic loss between the two impellers, the tangential component of the absolute velocity at the inlet of the primary impeller v u1 is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the tangential component of the absolute velocity at the outlet of the secondary impeller v u2 , so we have:

NACA66 a=0.8 The airfoil has a maximum lift-to-drag ratio of 27.5, which translates to a design parameter λ = 0.036.

[0254] Based on the airfoil chord length l and thickness y obtained from the section calculation results max curvature h maxl and NACA66 α=0.8 First, determine the airfoil coordinates and camber line coordinates, then determine the two-dimensional profile coordinates of each airfoil section. Project these two-dimensional profile coordinates onto the surface of a three-dimensional cylinder to obtain the airfoil's three-dimensional spatial coordinates. The coordinate transformation formula is shown below:
[0255]
[0256] In the formula, θ is the pitch angle, taken as 0°; φ is the installation angle; R i y1 is the radius of the cylindrical surface on which the blade section is located; x1 and y1 are the abscissa and ordinate of the two-dimensional airfoil, respectively; L is the length from the origin of the two-dimensional airfoil coordinate system to the center of rotation. When the axis of rotation is the coordinate axis, L is 0.
[0257] By importing the three-dimensional coordinates of each section into modeling software for modeling, the geometric structure diagram of the two-stage axial flow pump can be obtained, such as... Figure 6 As shown, 1 is the auxiliary stage impeller, 2 is the main stage impeller, and 3 is the rear guide vane. The auxiliary stage impeller rotates counterclockwise at 8000 rpm, providing a head of 32 m without cavitation, thus increasing the net positive suction head (NPSH) of the main stage impeller. The main stage impeller, rotating at a high speed of 10000 rpm, provides a head of 97.3 m. The rear guide vane recovers the rotational kinetic energy of the preceding impeller, allowing the liquid at the main stage impeller outlet to flow axially.
[0258] Through the above methods, this invention provides a design method for a two-stage high-speed axial-flow propulsion pump suitable for shallow water conditions, enabling rapid and efficient design of a two-stage axial-flow propulsion pump applicable to underwater vehicles at a water depth of 10m and a speed of 70Kn. This two-stage axial-flow propulsion pump has a large hub ratio and a compact structure, meeting the space assembly requirements of underwater vehicles. In this invention, the head previously borne by a single-stage axial-flow pump is split into two stages. The main function of the auxiliary stage impeller is to increase the available net positive suction head (NPSH) before the main stage impeller. Thus, the main stage impeller receives less head than a single stage, and its NPSH is also higher, enhancing its anti-cavitation performance and ensuring the power requirements of the underwater vehicle.
