[0002] The ship's speed performance index is one of the core technical indicators that are highly concerned in the design and development of ship forms. At present, with the development of ship CFD technology and parametric modeling technology, in the field of ship form optimization design research, there has emerged a method based on optimization theory and driven by an optimization method for the ship form optimization design process. This method can automate the processes of ship form transformation, CFD solution, and result analysis, can reduce manual operations to a certain extent, and can effectively get rid of the high dependence on engineers in ship form design, realizing in-depth optimization design of ship form performance for the global design space, and has achieved good application effects in the optimization design of the resistance performance of various ship forms.

[0003] However, it is difficult to achieve good engineering applications for the optimization design of the propulsion performance of medium- and high-speed ship forms. The main reason is that when using the viscous flow method to carry out the self-propulsion performance calculation of medium- and high-speed ship forms, it is necessary to consider the coupled numerical simulation of multiple-level motions such as the floating state change during ship navigation and the rotation of the propeller. The physical problems to be solved are complex and the computational workload is large. In order to improve the computational efficiency to a certain extent, a large amount of manual intervention is required during the solution process. At the same time, the self-propulsion calculation results need to obtain self-propulsion points through interpolation of multiple propeller rotation speeds, and the result analysis process requires the combined analysis of multiple cases, and the full process integration and automation have not been realized, resulting in the inability to achieve automatic optimization design of ship form propulsion performance based on optimization algorithms.

[0114] As Figure 1 shown, a method for evaluating and optimizing the propulsion performance of medium- and high-speed ship types includes the following steps:

[0115] Step 1: Establish a numerical calculation domain for the self-propulsion performance of medium- and high-speed ship types: Obtain the three-dimensional geometric model file of the sample ship type, and extract the automatic ship type characteristic parameters; construct a coordinate system group based on the automatic ship type characteristic parameters and the navigation state parameters; the coordinate system group includes a global coordinate system, a ship hull motion coordinate system, and a propeller rotation coordinate system; establish a numerical calculation domain for the self-propulsion performance of medium- and high-speed ship types based on the coordinate system group and the automatic ship type characteristic parameters:

[0116] Step 2: Establish an integrated method for the numerical calculation process of the self-propulsion performance of medium- and high-speed ship types;

[0117] Step 2.1: Establish a CFD numerical calculation model for the self-propulsion performance of a medium- and high-speed ship type by configuring the conditions for the numerical calculation domain of the self-propulsion performance of the medium- and high-speed ship type in Step 1. The content of the condition configuration includes: selecting the Reynolds-averaged viscous flow calculation method as the basic method for model solution, selecting the SST K-ω turbulence model and the standard wall function to handle the simulation of the propeller-fluid coupling flow field, selecting the VOF method to calculate the free surface of the ship, using the method of alternately using the moving reference coordinate system and the sliding grid to simulate the rotation of the propeller, and selecting the overlapping grid method to calculate the longitudinal pitch and heave degrees of freedom motion of the ship hull;

[0118] Step 2.2: Establish an automatic control method for the CFD numerical calculation model of the self-propulsion performance of the medium- and high-speed ship type described in Step 2.1: 1) Set the numerical solution convergence control process and divide the calculation process. The calculation process includes the flow field initialization stage, the preliminary calculation stage of the ship hull flow field, the numerical calculation stage of the propeller-fluid coupling flow field, the calculation stage of the ship hull motion superposed with the propeller rotation flow field, the refined numerical simulation stage, and the calculation of the self-propulsion point of the ship and the analysis of the self-propulsion performance of the ship; 2) Successively formulate the solution control method and the convergence discrimination method for the preliminary calculation stage of the ship hull flow field, the numerical calculation stage of the propeller-fluid coupling flow field, the calculation stage of the ship hull motion superposed with the propeller rotation flow field, and the refined numerical simulation stage;

[0119] Step 2.3: Calculate the power received by the propeller. Combine the CFD numerical calculation model for the self-propulsion performance of the medium- and high-speed ship type described in Step 2.1 and the automatic control method of the model calculation process established in Step 2.2 to establish a numerical calculation model for the self-propulsion performance of the medium- and high-speed ship type. Input the three-dimensional geometric model file of the sample ship type obtained in Step 1, complete the acquisition of the self-propulsion point of the medium- and high-speed ship type and the calculation and analysis of the self-propulsion performance characteristic parameters, and output the power received by the propeller as the self-propulsion performance characteristic quantity;

[0120] Step 3: Establish an optimization method for the self-propulsion performance of the medium- and high-speed ship type:

[0121] Step 3.1: Construct a three-dimensional geometric model file of the ship type after deformation based on the hull deformation constraint conditions, and use it as the three-dimensional geometric model file of the sample ship type to input to Step 2 to calculate the power P received by the ship's propeller D , and realize the numerical calculation of the self-propulsion performance of the variant ship type;

[0122] Step 3.2: Use the genetic algorithm to optimize the power P received by the ship's propeller obtained in Step 3.1 D , with the tail variant parameter as the independent variable, the calculated power received by the ship's propeller as the objective function, and the value requirement of the ship type optimization design target P D as the self-propulsion performance optimization target of the ship, that is, the preset termination condition of the genetic algorithm; automatically output the optimized power P received by the ship's propeller D .

[0123] As shown Figure 2 in the following, the specific steps for establishing the numerical calculation domain of the self-propulsion performance of a medium-high speed ship form in Step 1 are as follows:

[0124] Preferably, the method for extracting the characteristic parameters of the automated ship form in Step 1 is as follows:

[0125] Step 1.1: Obtain the three-dimensional geometric model file (IGS / IGES format) of the sample ship form. The length unit of the three-dimensional model file is "meter", and the origin of the model coordinate system is located at the intersection of the after perpendicular of the ship and the baseline of the ship. The X-axis direction of the coordinate system is from the stern to the bow of the ship, the Y-axis direction is from the starboard side to the port side of the ship, and the Z-axis direction is vertically upward from the bottom of the ship to the deck;

[0126] Step 1.2: Extract the three-dimensional geometric characteristic parameters of the ship form: Based on the three-dimensional geometric model file of the sample ship form described in Step 1.1, extract the three-dimensional geometric characteristic parameters of the ship form, including: the main dimension characteristic parameters of the ship form and the scale characteristic parameters of the propeller;

[0127] The main dimension parameters of the ship form include: the designed draft of the ship, the length between perpendiculars of the ship, the overall length of the ship, the length of the designed waterline of the ship, and the molded breadth of the ship;

[0128] The designed draft of the ship (denoted as T d ): Obtained by inputting parameter values, with the unit of meter;

[0129] The length between perpendiculars of the ship (denoted as L BP ): Obtained by extracting the X-direction distance between the intersection point of the stem and the designed waterline and the after perpendicular of the ship, with the unit of meter;

[0130] The length of the designed waterline of the ship (denoted as L WL ): Based on the designed draft of the ship, extract the designed waterline of the ship, and obtain it by reading the distance between the front end and the rear end of the designed waterline in the X direction, with the unit of meter;

[0131] The molded breadth of the ship (denoted as B): Obtained by extracting the maximum distance in the Y direction of the intersection line between the left and right hull surfaces of the ship and the midship plane, with the unit of meter;

[0132] The scale characteristic parameters of the propeller include: the diameter of the propeller, the height of the propeller shaft, the distance between the propeller disk and the after perpendicular, the distance between the tip of the propeller blade and the bottom of the ship, the maximum X coordinate of the propeller blade, the minimum X coordinate of the propeller blade, and the minimum X-direction distance between the propeller blade and the rudder blade.

[0133] Among them, the diameter of the propeller (denoted as D p ), the height of the propeller shaft (i.e., the height of the propeller shaft from the baseline, denoted as H S ), the distance between the propeller disk and the after perpendicular (denoted as X P ) and other parameters are obtained by inputting parameter values, and the unit of all of them is meter.

[0134] Distance from the tip of the propeller blade to the bottom of the ship (D S ): Extract the Z coordinate value (denoted as Z P ) of the intersection point of the midship longitudinal section of the ship and the plane x = X P . Calculate D through the following formula S = Z P - (D p / 2 + H S ).

[0135] Maximum X coordinate of the propeller blade (denoted as X Pmax ) and minimum X coordinate of the propeller blade (denoted as X Pmin ): Establish cross-sections at intervals of 0.01 m in the Y direction, obtain the intersection lines of the cross-sections and the propeller series, and extract the maximum X coordinate value of the intersection line to obtain the X Pmax value, and the minimum X coordinate value is the X Pmin value.

[0136] Minimum distance in the X direction between the propeller blade and the rudder blade (denoted as X RPmin ): Extract the maximum X coordinate value (denoted as X p / 2 + H S ) of the intersection line of the plane Z = (D Rmax ) in the Z direction and the rudder. Calculate the X RPmin value through the following formula: X RPmin = X Pmin - X RPmin .

[0137] The unit of such parameters is the length unit "meter".

[0138] Step 1.3: Extract the automated ship form characteristic parameters: Use the ship form three-dimensional geometric characteristic parameters in Step 1.2 as the automated ship form characteristic parameters; Based on Steps 1.1 - 1.2, construct an automated ship form characteristic parameter extraction program, with the input being the sample ship form three-dimensional geometric model file and the output being the automated ship form characteristic parameters.

[0139] Preferably, the method for establishing the self-propelled performance numerical calculation domain of the medium and high-speed ship form in Step 1 is as follows:

[0140] Step 1.4: Construct a fixed global coordinate system with the model coordinate origin in Step 1.1 as the input parameter;

[0141] Step 1.5: Obtain the coordinate values (X G , Y G , Z G of the ship's center of gravity in the global coordinate system), and taking this as the coordinate origin, a hull motion coordinate system that moves with the hull is constructed. The initial directions of its coordinate axes are as follows: the X-axis points towards the bow of the ship, the Y-axis points towards the port side of the hull, and the Z-axis is vertically upward. The hull motion coordinate system is rigidly connected to the hull and moves synchronously with the hull;

[0142] Step 1.6: Based on the propeller shaft height (i.e., the height of the propeller shaft from the baseline, denoted as H S ), the distance from the propeller disk plane to the stern perpendicular (denoted as X P ), etc. parameters, the coordinate value of the propeller center point in the hull motion coordinate system is obtained as (X G - X P , 0, H S - Z G ). Taking the propeller center point as the coordinate origin, a propeller rotation coordinate system is constructed. The propeller rotation coordinate system is rigidly connected to the hull and moves synchronously with the hull;

[0143] Step 1.7: Based on the described automated ship form characteristic parameters and the global coordinate system, hull motion coordinate system, and propeller rotation coordinate system, an internal calculation domain, an external background calculation domain, and a propeller rotation calculation domain that enclose the hull are constructed.

[0144] Preferably, the method for constructing the internal calculation domain, external background calculation domain, and propeller rotation calculation domain that enclose the hull in Step 1.7 is as follows:

[0145] Step 1.7.1: Establish the internal calculation domain that encloses the hull: The scale is set to parameters related to the hull support. Based on the longitudinal inclination and heave motion of the ship during navigation, the degrees of freedom of the hull's vertical motion and rotation about the Y-axis are opened for numerical calculation. The internal and external calculation domains use the overlapping grid method for information transfer of flow field data;

[0146] Step 1.7.2: Establish the external background calculation domain: The shape of the external background calculation domain is set as a rectangle to avoid the pool wall interference effect during the calculation process. The scale of the external background calculation domain is set to parameters related to the main dimensions of the hull and remains stationary during the calculation;

[0147] Step 1.7.3: Establish the propeller rotation calculation domain: The propeller rotation calculation domain is arranged at the stern shaft of the ship. A cylinder is used to wrap the propeller, and the axis of the cylinder is aligned with the propeller shaft. The scale of the cylinder is associated with the hull parameter and propeller scale characteristic parameter extracted in Step 1.2.

[0148] Preferably, in Step 2.2, the steps for establishing the automatic control method include:

[0149] Step 2.2.1: Set the numerical solution convergence control process and divide the calculation process: The numerical solution convergence control process is the process from the completion of the initialization of the flow field in the computational domain to the convergence of the coupled numerical calculation of the ship's propeller under multi-degree-of-freedom motion of the hull; The calculation process includes: the flow field initialization stage, the preliminary calculation stage of the hull flow field, the numerical calculation stage of the coupled ship-propeller flow field, the calculation stage of the flow field with the superposition of the hull motion and the rotation of the propeller, the refined numerical simulation stage, and the calculation stage of the ship's self-propelled point and the analysis stage of the ship's self-propelled performance;

[0150] As Figure 3 shown, the specific steps of the calculation process described in Step 2.2.1:

[0151] Step 2.2.2: Set the solution control method for the flow field initialization stage:

[0152] Set the initial conditions for the CFD numerical calculation model of the self-propelled performance of high-speed ship types in this stage: Given the propeller rotation speed is 0, and at the same time lock the degrees of freedom of the ship's body movement, that is, both the hull and the propeller are fixed constraint models. In fact, the propeller is a fixed component rigidly connected to the hull, and no rotation speed is given;

[0153] Input the ship speed into the CFD numerical calculation model of the self-propelled performance of high-speed ship types described in Step 2.1 to solve the initial flow field; The initial flow field includes: the initial speed and pressure parameters of the ship;

[0154] Step 2.2.3: Set the solution control method for the preliminary calculation stage of the hull flow field:

[0158] A1: Solve the coupled ship-propeller flow field: Lock the degrees of freedom of the ship's body movement, use the moving reference coordinate system method to calculate the influence of the propeller rotation, calculate the time step based on the minimum grid size, and set the propeller rotation speed to the initial rotation speed n o ; Solve the coupled ship-propeller flow field under the suction effect of the propeller;

[0159] A2: Convergence Criterion: Monitor and analyze the time history curves of the hull resistance, propeller thrust, and propeller torque during the numerical calculation stage of the propeller-hull coupled flow field respectively to check if they meet the convergence criterion. If they do, proceed to step 2.2.5; and output the forces on the propeller and hull.

[0160] Step 2.2.5: Solution Control Method for the Calculation Stage of Hull Motion Superimposed with Propeller Rotation Flow Field: Based on the propeller-hull coupled flow field as the initial condition of the self-propulsion performance CFD numerical calculation model for high-speed ship forms in this stage, calculate the flow field of hull motion superimposed with propeller rotation and conduct convergence discrimination.

[0161] B1: Solve the Flow Field of Hull Motion Superimposed with Propeller Rotation: Release the degrees of freedom of the hull, and use the moving reference coordinate system method to calculate the influence of propeller rotation. The propeller rotation speed is the initial rotation speed n obtained in step 2.2.4 0 , calculate the time step based on the minimum grid size, and solve the numerical value of the flow field of hull motion superimposed with propeller rotation.

[0162] B2: Convergence Criterion: During the calculation process, monitor the time history curves of the hull resistance, propeller thrust, propeller torque, hull trim value, and hull sinkage varying with time, analyze and conduct convergence discrimination on the time history curves, calculate the change in the ship's navigation attitude and the forces on the propeller and hull under the combined action of the propeller and hull. After convergence, proceed to step 2.2.6.

[0163] Step 2.2.6: Solution Control Method for the Refined Numerical Simulation Stage: Based on the calculation in step 2.2.5 meeting the convergence condition, conduct a refined numerical simulation of the multi-degree-of-freedom motion of the propeller-hull coupling.

[0164] C1: Take the flow field of hull motion superimposed with propeller rotation as the initial condition of the self-propulsion performance CFD numerical calculation model for high-speed ship forms in this stage, release the degrees of freedom of the hull, and at the same time use the sliding mesh method to calculate the actual rotation of the propeller. The propeller rotation speed is set to the initial rotation speed n 0 , and calculate the time step using formula (1);

[0165]

[0166] where n in formula (1) is the initial rotation speed n 0 , a is the control parameter for the propeller rotation angle within each time step, with a value ranging from 1 to 2;

[0167] C2: Convergence Criterion: Monitor and analyze the time history curves of the hull resistance, propeller thrust, propeller torque, hull trim value, and hull sinkage in this stage respectively, and conduct convergence discrimination. Take the overall mean value of the monitored quantities obtained after the corresponding time history curves meet the convergence criterion as the initial rotation speed n 0The hull resistance R′ corresponding to the working condition 0B , the propeller thrust T 0B and the propeller torque Q 0B , the hull trim value, the hull sinkage amount;

[0176] A i = R Pi -R Ti (4)

[0177]

[0178] Among them, A i , R Pi , R Ti respectively represent the amplitude, peak and trough of the i-th oscillation period of the curve, represents the average amplitude of the 10 selected oscillation periods;

[0179] The average value is calculated using formulas (6) and (7);

[0180]

[0181] Among them, R 0i , R 0 respectively represent the average value of the i-th oscillation period of the curve and the overall average value of the monitored quantity within all 10 oscillation periods;

[0185]

[0186] Formula (9) is that the percentage of the difference between the maximum value of the average value of the monitored quantity in each period of the time history curve and the overall average value to the overall average value is less than ε 2 , ε 2 takes a value of 1% - 2%;

[0187] When all the time history curves obtained at this stage of the calculation simultaneously satisfy the convergence discrimination conditions, it is determined that the calculation has converged, and after the time history curves of hull resistance, propeller thrust, propeller torque, hull trim value, and hull sinkage satisfy the convergence discrimination conditions, the overall average value of the monitored quantity calculated is used as the initial rotational speed n 0 under the corresponding hull resistance R′ 0B , propeller thrust T 0B and propeller torque Q 0B , hull trim value, hull sinkage; The calculation process enters the next step.

[0200] Preferably, in step 2.2.7, when ΔZ ≠ 0, the processing method is as follows:

[0201] 3) If ΔZ < 0, it means that the thrust generated by the propeller cannot overcome the hull resistance, and the rotational speed of the propeller needs to be increased.

[0206] 4) If ΔZ > 0, it means that the thrust generated by the propeller is too large, and the propeller speed needs to be reduced. Use formulas (13), (17) - (19) to calculate the new speeds n 1 , n 2 , n 3 , where K T0B is the propeller thrust coefficient corresponding to the speed n 0 , ρ is the density of fresh water, and D is the propeller diameter;
