This accuracy is helpful for the subsequent finite element mesh division, ensuring that the mesh density can more accurately adapt to the actual working state of the thruster, thereby improving the accuracy of the magnetic field domain simulation or analysis.

[0099] Optimize computational efficiency: The scheme dynamically adjusts the density of the finite element mesh according to the comparison result between the reference coefficient and the preset threshold. When the reference coefficient is low, a lower mesh density (i.e., the preset initial mesh density) is used to reduce the amount of calculation and improve the computational efficiency. When the reference coefficient is high, the mesh density is increased to ensure the accuracy of the calculation. This dynamic adjustment strategy helps to optimize the computational efficiency while maintaining the computational accuracy. Since the scheme takes into account a variety of variable factors (such as temperature, pressure, fluid viscosity, etc.) of the thruster in the actual working environment, it can adapt to different working environments and conditions more flexibly. This adaptability and flexibility make the scheme more robust and practical in dealing with complex and changeable actual application scenarios. By adjusting parameters such as the preset constant coefficient, the first coefficient, the second coefficient, and the third coefficient, as well as parameters such as the preset reference coefficient threshold and the initial mesh density, the scheme can support customized design of annular underwater magnetohydrodynamic thrusters for different models, specifications, and working environments.

This accuracy helps the subsequent division of the finite element grid, ensuring that the grid density can more accurately adapt to the actual working state of the thruster, thereby improving the accuracy of the magnetic field domain simulation or analysis. The scheme dynamically adjusts the density of the finite element grid according to the comparison result between the reference coefficient and the preset threshold. When the reference coefficient is low, a lower grid density (that is, the preset initial grid density) is used to reduce the amount of calculation and improve the calculation efficiency. When the reference coefficient is high, the grid density is increased to ensure the accuracy of the calculation. This dynamic adjustment strategy helps to optimize the calculation efficiency while maintaining the calculation accuracy.
