Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of hydrodynamics and safety assessment of ship propellers in ice areas, and in particular to an ice load analysis method for the interaction between free crushed ice and a propeller. Background Art
[0002] When polar ships sail in ice areas, the propellers will inevitably collide and interact with ice. The propellers are not only subject to the hydrodynamic loads of the fluid, but also to the ice loads of the ice-propeller contact. Therefore, analyzing the ice load characteristics of the interaction between the propeller and ice is of great significance for the safety assessment of propellers in ice areas.
[0003] At present, the simulation of the interaction between propeller and ice at home and abroad usually uses a model experiment of milling action between a constrained ice model and a propeller, supplemented by synchronous shooting with a high-speed camera to analyze the data. This method can measure the ice load data of the interaction between constrained ice and propeller. However, since there is often a large amount of free-floating broken ice on the water surface, the contact position, speed, ice size and crushing method of the ice propeller during the high-speed rotation of the propeller make the ice load of the ice propeller contact disordered and random as a whole. Therefore, this method cannot accurately obtain the ice load characteristics of the interaction between the propeller and ice. Summary of the invention

The ice load characteristic parameters include single blade ice load distribution parameters and blade-ice collision parameters. The blade-ice collision parameters indicate the collision of a single blade with the crushed ice model in each rotation cycle.

[0018] A further technical solution is to select single blade ice load data in each rotation cycle from the ice load history data according to the contact time t, including:

[0037] The specific implementation of the present application is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0038] This application proposes an ice load analysis method for interaction between free crushed ice and propeller, which can determine the ice load characteristic parameters of interaction between propeller and free crushed ice. Please refer to Figure 1 The ice load analysis method flow chart is shown in the figure. The specific steps are as follows:
[0039] Step 1: According to the structural design of the ship propeller, a propeller model ice-water mixed load measuring device is obtained. The propeller model ice-water mixed load measuring device includes a single blade. For the specific structure of the propeller model ice-water mixed load measuring device, please refer to patent 201810648934.4 applied for by the applicant.
[0040] Step 2: Spread the crushed ice model in the test pool so that the crushed ice model floats freely on the surface of the test pool, and place the propeller model ice-water mixed load measurement device in the test pool to simulate the real crushed ice area channel. Control the propeller model ice-water mixed load measurement device to drive the blade to rotate under the target test conditions to carry out multi-component load measurement tests, and obtain the mixed load time history data of the interaction between a single blade and the free crushed ice model to obtain the mixed load on a single blade at different times. The mixed load includes a mixed load of multiple directional components, with the axial component F x Take the example to illustrate that the axial force F x The single blade mixed load time history data is as follows Figure 2 shown.
[0041] Step 3: In a test pool without a crushed ice model, control the propeller model ice-water mixed load measurement device to perform an open water test under the target test conditions, and obtain the hydrodynamic load history data to obtain the hydrodynamic load on a single blade at different times. The target experimental conditions of the open water test are the same as the target test conditions of the multi-component load measurement test in step 2.
[0042] Step 4: determine ice load history data according to the mixed load history data and the hydrodynamic load history data. The ice load history data is the ice load received by a single blade in the propeller model ice-water mixed load measuring device at different moments during the rotation process.
[0043] Since the mixed loads on a single blade during rotation mainly include ice loads caused by blade-ice contact and hydrodynamic loads caused by blade-water contact, in one embodiment, the hydrodynamic load time history data F water The average hydrodynamic load is obtained by averaging According to the mixed load history data F hybrid and the average hydrodynamic load Ice load history data for determining the ice load on a single blade of a propeller model in contact with a free ice model
[0044] Step 5: Statistically analyze the ice load history data to determine the ice load characteristic parameters of the interaction between the propeller and the free ice in the ship's propeller.
[0045] In one embodiment, a specific method for determining ice load characteristic parameters of the interaction between the propeller and free crushed ice is as follows:
[0046] (1) According to the blade rotation speed under the target test conditions, the ice load history data during the period when the blade contacts the crushed ice model in each rotation cycle is selected as the single blade ice load data in each rotation cycle.
[0047] In one embodiment, the contact time t of a single blade with the crushed ice model in each rotation cycle is determined according to the blade speed under the target test condition, and the ice load data of a single blade in each rotation cycle is screened out from the ice load history data according to the contact time t. The specific screening method is: the rotation cycle T is determined according to the blade speed under the target test condition, and the contact time t of a single blade with the crushed ice model in each rotation cycle is determined in combination with the number of blades Z included in the ship propeller. Filter out the nth rotation cycle within the time period The ice load time history data in the above table are used to obtain the single blade ice load data within the nth rotation period, where n is an integer parameter representing the number of propeller rotation periods of the ship propeller.
[0048] The propeller model ice-water mixed load measurement device of the present application is manufactured according to the specific geometry and structural characteristics of the propeller and the ice load measurement requirements of the propeller contact. Therefore, the blade speed is consistent with the propeller speed of the actual ship's propeller, which is 3r / s, and the rotation period T=0.33s can be calculated. The propeller of the ship's propeller is a 7-blade large side-skew propeller, so it is determined that the contact time t=0.047s of a single blade with the crushed ice model in each rotation cycle, and the ice load time history data of a single blade in contact with the crushed ice model in each rotation cycle is extracted to obtain the single blade ice load data of each rotation cycle, such as Figure 3 shown.
[0049] (2) Statistical analysis is performed on the single blade ice load data in each rotation cycle to determine the ice load characteristic parameters.
[0050] In one embodiment, a specific method for performing statistical analysis on single blade ice load data is as follows: determining a peak value of the single blade ice load data within each rotation cycle, performing statistical analysis on the peak value of the single blade ice load data within each rotation cycle to determine ice load characteristic parameters, the ice load characteristic parameters including single blade ice load distribution parameters and blade-ice collision parameters, the blade-ice collision parameters indicating the collision of a single blade with a crushed ice model within each rotation cycle.
[0051] The specific method for determining the single blade ice load distribution parameters by statistically analyzing the peak values of the single blade ice load data in each rotation cycle is as follows:
[0052] The value intervals are divided according to the multiples of the hydrodynamic load peak value, and the distribution of the peak values of the single blade ice load data in each rotation cycle in different value intervals is analyzed. The specific analysis includes the following two aspects:
[0053] (1) Determine the maximum value of the peak values of the ice load data of the single blade in all rotation cycles to obtain the maximum ice load, and / or, count the distribution of the peak values of the ice load data of the single blade in each rotation cycle in different value intervals.
[0054] (2) A statistical analysis is performed on the peak values of the ice load data of the single blade in each rotation cycle when the single blade collides with the crushed ice model to determine the distribution of the peak values of the ice load data of the single blade in each rotation cycle when the single blade collides with the crushed ice model in different value ranges.
[0055] The specific method for determining the propeller-ice collision parameters by statistically analyzing the peak values of the single blade ice load data in each rotation cycle is as follows:
[0056] When the peak value of the single blade ice load data within a rotation cycle reaches k times the peak value of the hydrodynamic load, a blade-ice collision condition parameter is obtained, indicating that the blade has collided with the crushed ice model within the rotation cycle; otherwise, a blade-ice collision condition parameter is obtained, indicating that the blade has not collided with the crushed ice model within the rotation cycle; the hydrodynamic load peak value is the peak value in the hydrodynamic load time history data, k is a positive number greater than or equal to 1, and the specific value of k can be determined according to actual conditions. In this application, k=2; the blade-ice collision condition parameters in each rotation cycle are counted to determine the number of times and proportions of collisions between the blade and the crushed ice model.
[0057] This application uses the max function of the script program to extract the peak values of the single blade ice load data and the hydrodynamic load history data, and uses the sorting function to sort the single blade ice load data. The multiples of the hydrodynamic load peak value are used as different value intervals, and the distribution of the peak value of the single blade ice load data in each value interval is counted, such as Figure 4 The peak value of the hydrodynamic load shown is 18N, and the value ranges are 0-1 times, 1-2 times, 2-3 times, 3-4 times, 4-5 times, and 6-7 times the peak value of the hydrodynamic load. Among them, the single blade ice load is mainly distributed between 18N-90N. There is a 4% probability of generating a strong ice load during the rotation of the propeller, which is distributed in the value range of 108N-126N. The difference in the size of the single blade ice load within the value range is mainly due to the size of the crushed ice model and the different positions and speeds of the propeller-ice contact. Since the peak value of the single blade ice load data is 1 times or more of the hydrodynamic load peak, it can be determined that the blade has collided with the crushed ice model during the rotation cycle. Therefore, Figure 4 It can be seen that the number of propeller-ice collisions is 65% of the total number of propeller rotations.
[0058] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and the present application is not limited to the above embodiments. It is understood that other improvements and changes directly derived or associated by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and concept of the present application should be considered to be included in the protection scope of the present application.
